Preparing for your Electrolysis Treatment

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water leading up to your appointment. This helps keep the skin hydrated. Also, try to reduce caffeine consumption, as it may increase skin sensitivity.
• Sun Protection: If your treatment involves areas exposed to the sun, ensure you apply sunblock with at least SPF 50. PRotecting against even minor sunburn is vital to ensure a comfortable experience.
• Hair Length: Shave or trim the treatment area about 4-5 days before your session. The hair should be visible, ranging from short stubble to a bit longer.
• Clean Skin: Arrive with the area to be treated clean. If you’re having your face treated, please come without makeup.

After Your Electrolysis Session

• Cooling the Area: Apply ice to the treated area for no more than two minutes at a time, repeating as often as possible within the first 12 hours post-treatment.
• Gentle Care: Keep the treated skin moisturized with witch hazel or aloe vera. These products promote healing as skin regenerates from the bottom up. Avoid using soaps or rough materials for the first 24 hours after your session.
• Avoid Agitation: Resist the urge to ick, rub or scratch the treated region. Such actions can lead to irritation, inflammation, breakouts and potential scarring.
• Makeup Application: If your face underwent treatment, you can return to using clean makeup once your skin appears and feels normal.
