The International Commission
for Hair Removal Certification (ICHRC) has the distinction of presenting valid
competency-based certification examinations. Testing is provided to enhance the
professional growth of members and the Society and all allied health practitioners;
including physicians, electrologists, nurses and others authorized to practice
in the jurisdiction where they reside. Receive your certification to assure the
public that you have the knowledge and skill to provide the safest and most effective
hair removal service available. Upon successfully completing the examination,
a certificate of competency, suitable for framing, is issued bearing the coveted
seal of the commission.
There are three levels of certification. For electrologists, the entry level "Certified
Clinical Electrologist" (CCE) is for those using the needle modality. The
second level, to which the CCE is a prerequisite, is the "Certified Medical
Electrologist" (CME) certification. The CME certification tests for advanced
knowledge and skill in needle modalities as well as laser and light-based hair
removal modalities. The CME certification is required in the State of Florida
for electrologists wishing to perform laser and light-based hair removal services.
Other states are currently considering following Florida by requiring this certification
for electrologists.
The newest, third level of certification is the Certified Laser Hair Removal
Professional (CLHRP). This exam was designed for allied health practitioners;
including physicians, nurses and others authorized in the jurisdiction where
they reside who practice laser and light-based hair removal and do not personally
practice needle hair removal modalities. |
