As an aesthetician practicing electrology, you won’t just memorize theories—you’ll live them every day with every client who walks through your door.
- You’ll carry the legacy of a profession that has evolved over decades.
- You’ll see the galvanic process in action as you use chemical reactions to permanently destroy hair follicles.
- You’ll apply your understanding of iontophoresis, anaphoresis, and cataphoresis when performing skin treatments that use electrical currents.
- You’ll use thermolysis to target follicles with high-frequency current, appreciating how quickly it works and how precise it can be in the right hands.
- You’ll combine science and technique with the Blend method, using both electrical current and chemical reaction to achieve results on even the most stubborn hairs. And, understand why it works and when to reach for it as your method of choice.
- You’ll select the right probe for every client, taking into account factors like metal type, tip size, and shape. You’ll notice how a slight difference in probe choice can change the outcome of a treatment, and your attention to these details will set you apart as a skilled professional.
