Before & After Care

BEFORE

• Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water to keep moisture in the skin.

• Do not shave for at least 2-3 days before your appointment. The hair must be long enough to be removed with tweezers during the treatment.

• Once you have started electrolysis, areas being treated may not be waxed or tweezed. You can shave or cut in between treatments.

• Avoid sun exposure for 48 hours before treatment. Sunburned skin can not be treated.

• Avoid stimulants such as coffee on the day of your appointment, as this could make you more sensitive to pain.

• Please remove all makeup before face treatments.

AFTER

• Your skin may appear red and slightly puffy immediately after treatment, but this will disappear within the first 1-2 hours.

• Avoid sun exposure for at least 48 hours after treatment. This can result in changes in pigmentation. Always use sunblock.

• Avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching the treated areas. 

• Aloe gel can be applied to the skin for the first 3-4 days after treatment to help the healing process.

• If tiny “pimples” or white heads appear, use warm compress on them and apply any antibiotic cream, like Neosporin, once a day for a couple of days. This is a normal reaction and they will heal on their own.

• If scabbing occurs, do not pick these areas. Apply antibiotic cream or aloe gel. 

• Do not use makeup or deodorant the treated area for 24 hours after treatments.

• Do not wash or use alcohol-based products on the treated area for 1-2 days. If needed, wipe the area with witch hazel.

• Avoid workouts, pools, saunas or hot tubs for at least 48 hours after treatment. Sweat can lead to bacteria entering your hair follicles, causing pimples.
