Do electrolysis follow appropriate infection control precautions?
The American Electrology Association (AEA), with the assistance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), developed national infection control standards that include sterilization of all electrology instruments, which may have parenteral contact. Presterilized, single-use disposable needles are recommended. The standards are consistent with standard precautions safety, which includes hand washing and use of a fresh pair of disposable gloves for each treatment. Your electrologist will thoroughly discuss this important issue with you.
