ELECTROLOGY
320 HOURS – 16 WEEKS
OBJECTIVE
The program is designed to train students in permanent hair removal by electrology. The courses are designed to give the students a thorough entry-level preparation to work in the field of electrology. The modern short wave, blend, and galvanic methods are taught in small classes and students gain hands-on
experience through clinical applications. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates may apply for the state licensing exam and the national certification testing. A diploma will be awarded upon graduation from the program.
DESCRIPTION
This program consisting of 120 hours of theory and 200 hours of applied practical training. A diploma will be awarded upon graduation from the program. This will give you all you need to skillfully and securely perform laser procedures. Students will learn the physical processes behind laser and light therapy in order to be qualified to perform laser treatments using any machine in any setting. Topics covered include hair anatomy and growth, skin physiology and histology, disorders and diseases, laser and light modalities, client selection and more.
