Which condition should disqualify a client from receiving electrolysis treatment?

Impetigo is a highly contagious bacterial skin infection that typically presents as red sores or blisters that can ooze and crust over. Due to its contagious nature, treating a client with impetigo using electrolysis could risk spreading the infection to other clients and compromising the hygienic conditions of the practice. For this reason, clients with impetigo should be disqualified from receiving electrolysis treatment until they have fully recovered. The presence of an active infection also poses potential risks during the electrolysis process, which is designed to be invasive and could exacerbate the condition or lead to further complications.

While conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and alopecia may have implications for skin sensitivity or hair growth patterns, they do not carry the same level of risk in terms of contagion or infection to others, making them less disqualifying than impetigo.
