Written for the practising electrolysist and student, THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF ELECTRICAL EPILATION
covers all aspects of electro-epilation and takes into account recent changes and advances in training and technology during the past decade. These changes are wide-ranging and topics covered in the second edition of this book include: improved standards of training, the Blend technique of clectro-epilation; the development of pre-sterilized disposable needles, the advent of AIDS, the identification of hepatitis C, D and E, training, and health and safety at work
A knowledge of endocrinology, the structure and growth cycle of hair, the skin, hygiene, electricity and basic first aid is essential to an understanding of why hair growth occurs and how this problem, which causes distress to very many people, can be treated both safely and efficiently. All these topics are thoroughly covered and advice on how to set up your own practice is also given.
A useful chart is provided for students which gives details of the chapters to refer to when covering each core unit for the National and Scottish Vocational Qualification in Electrical Epilation Level 3.
