On this course you will learn both short-wave diathermy method and the 'blend' method. You will be trained in hair removal from all areas of the body and face.
The theory includes health, hygiene and safety, the endocrine system, the vascular system, causes of superfluous hair, the structure of hair follicles and the cycle of hair growth.
The qualifications require you to perform written and practical assessments, as well as cover a range of scenarios by undertaking courses of electrolysis on each body area, on a variety of paying clients.
