Another is an Electrologist. Perhaps, not many people know what it is. Electrologist is a medical occupation which uses the skills of the electrolysis process and electrical pulse use with the purpose of removing hair roots, warts or moles (this is under Manitoba's Electrologist Trade Regulation). Before becoming certified, an electrologist should firstly take technical training, then complete on the job apprenticeship during one year.
An Eletrologist is trained for several special duties according to Apprenticeship Branch and industry standards. A list of those duties include: performing pre-depilation treatments; discussing problems with clients and defining physical conditions which make the electrolysis process reasonable; providing thermolysis or electrolysis service or alloy method with the help of short wave or galvanic electrical currents; execute treatment after depilation; maintaining medicine equipment and work areas, sterilize equipment; execute various salon functions such as reception duties and others.
If you are thinking of becoming electrologist in the near future, you should know that there are some special skills you need to have. First of all, good service and customer relations are indispensable, and you should enjoy working in collective environment assisting people.

Operation of hair removing by electrolysis process is not so complex. Before an electrolysis session the electrologist on free-of-charge internal consultation collects information of patient's health, his specific features (reception of medical products, presence of diseases and many other things), defines type of a skin, color of hair. The computer photo epilator selects the optimum mode consisting of set of various parameters.
Then the patient lies down on a convenient armchair, puts on dark glasses. The doctor renders transparent cooling gel which will take up thermal energy allocated at light flash on skin, and will exclude an opportunity of negative influence on a skin. After that skin processing by light is carried out, with the help of manipulator (device with a tip from rock crystal), periodic flashes of light destroy a hair bulb. After a procedure on the processed skin render softening an aerosol or a cream. After such operation 30% of hair is removed.
