(a) A course in electrolysis established by a school shall consist of not less than 600 hours of practical and technical instruction in the practice of electrology. (b) The curriculum for an electrolysis course shall consist of technical and practical instruction in the following areas: (1) One hundred hours in health and safety, which includes hazardous substances, chemical safety, safety data sheets, protection from hazardous chemicals, preventing chemical injuries, health and safety laws and regulations, and preventing communicable diseases. (2) One hundred hours in disinfection and sanitation, including disinfection procedures to protect the health and safety of consumers and the technician and proper disinfection procedures for equipment used in establishments. (3) Four hundred hours in electrolysis, thermolysis, blend or dual modality, and electricity. (A) The subject of electrolysis shall include the study of epilation using single- and multiple-needle insertion techniques, the use of galvanic current, skin reactions and anaphoresis and cataphoresis, and evaluating a client’s health history for compatibility with electrolysis treatments. (B) The subject of thermolysis shall include the study of epilation using automatic and manual thermolysis equipment, insertion techniques, the use of high frequency current in both high and low intensities, skin reactions, and evaluating a client’s health history for compatibility with thermolysis treatments. (C) The subject of blend or dual modality shall include the study of epilation using a combination of high frequency and galvanic currents, insertion techniques, skin reactions and anaphoresis and cataphoresis, and evaluating a client’s health history for compatibility with Blend/Dual Modality treatments. (D) The subject of electricity shall include the nature of electrical current, principles of operating electrical devices, various safety precautions to be applied when operating electrical equipment, and proper maintenance of equipment.
