Maybe they are just asking you about sanitisation of yourself the and equipment, the preparation of the clients skin and the use of gloves and fresh individually wrapped probes. Also the use of a sharps box. :hug:

Sounds like you need to ask the tutor to clarify as it's a bit unfair to expect you to guess what it means. It could be to do with double dipping. xxx

I read that as epilation! So immediately thought of electrolysis, but as Kim says this could be to do with waxing hygiene procedures but by it's true definition depilation is removal of hair from above the skin i.e shaving or chemical hair removal e.g veet whereas epilation covers removal from hairs below the skin i.e by waxing, electrolysis, tweezing or an epilator.

I suggest you follow Kim's advice and ask your tutor. :hug:

I would have said the same it's propbably to do with the cut out method and sterilisation but rather than guess it and get it all wrong or miss bits and have to do it again, give your tutor a ring i'm sure she wont mind, after all im sure she wont want to mark it twice lol I find sometimes if they would word it better it would be so much easier

My earlier post was a general thing....as a student you HAVE to trawl the net and get to the library etc.
It's your FIRST project hun so put your heart and soul into it x
