About Washington State Electrologists Association

The Washington State Electrologists Association (WSEA) was established in 1970 by a group of electrologists who were dedicated to the profession. Their goals were to promote the highest standards of professional education and ethics while providing skilled professionals for the protection and safety of the public. WSEA continues to provide members with these same high educational standards offering semiannual seminars and meetings, inviting Non-Members, as well as Members, to attend and participate.

WSEA is affiliated with the American Electrology Association, Inc. (AEA), the largest international electrology membership organization. The AEA has provided many programs that benefit the electrologist, the profession and the consumer. Many of our members assumed the added commitment of International Board Certification, by passing a voluntary certification examination. They became Certified Professional Electrologists (CPEs) and are challenged to improving their knowledge and practice through the AEA's Continuing Education and Recertification programs, which require 75 hours of approved continuing education every five years to recertify.

While Washington does not license electrologists, the State Legislature enacted a Sterilization Bill in May, 2002, requiring electrologists to follow the Department of Health's Infection Control and Sterilization procedures based on the AEA's Infection Control Standards and approved by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
