2011 Vermont Code
Title 26 Professions and Occupations
Chapter 86 ELECTROLOGISTS
§ 4401 Purpose
§ 4401. Purpose
The general assembly finds that the public's health would be better protected if services by electrologists were regulated, because the unregulated practice of electrology can harm or endanger the health, safety, or welfare of the public through use of improper sterilization and infection control procedures. Electrology is the procedure performed to remove hair permanently from the human body. This is accomplished by inserting a fine, sterile needle into the hair follicle and applying a measured amount of electricity to produce heat or a chemical reaction to permanently destroy the hair follicle's germinating capacity. The practice of electrology requires adherence to strict sanitary and sterilization processes and, therefore, regulation should be by licensure of electrologists. (Added 1999, No. 133 (Adj. Sess.), { 46, eff. Jan. 1, 2001; amended 2005, No. 27, { 101.)
