Are electrical modalities allowed in Oregon esthetics, and under what restrictions?

• A. Not allowed
• B. Allowed without training
• C. Always allowed with no restrictions
• D. Allowed but restricted to approved devices and training

Answer: (D)

Electrical modalities can be used in Oregon esthetics, but only under strict conditions. They are permitted when the device is on the Oregon Board’s approved list and the esthetician has completed the Board-approved training for that modality. This ensures safe technique, awareness of contraindications, and proper sanitation. Using devices that aren’t approved or performing modalities without the required training goes beyond the allowed scope of practice and can lead to disciplinary action.
