Since electrology is an Allied Health Science, the American Electrology Association in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control, has developed recommended national standards for sterilization procedures in electrology offices.
You will find these offices using sterile needles and sterile forceps. Strict sanitation procedures are adhered to providing a clean professional environment. A discussion with your electrologist regarding his or her sterilization procedures would be welcomed. (See our Welcome page for more information on our sterilization methods.)
