Electrologists

Whether the electrologist works in a professional office, a salon, a medical clinic, or a private shop, the nature of the work requires the environment to be clean, comfortable, and professional. Because electrologists perform delicate work, they may operate in spaces that are quiet to allow for greater concentration for the practitioner and to relax the client. Sometimes soothing music is played in the background to help put clients at ease.

A neat and professional appearance is important, so electrologists often wear uniforms or lab coats. As well as being comfortable and practical for the electrologist, a medical uniform may also reassure and comfort the client. Because of the threat of infectious diseases, electrologists may wear eye protection and disposable gloves during the procedure to reduce their risk of exposure. They also wash their hands frequently and maintain a sterile treatment area.

Electrologists generally spend most of their time in an office or treatment room, although not all that time is spent with clients. When not working on clients, electrologists may set up appointments, consult with prospective clients, train an assistant or future electrologist, or check equipment to ensure that it is functioning properly.
