Pre- Treatment Care

Hydrate: This is the most important step in preparation for your treatment. Drink plenty of water a few days before your treatment. Electrolysis works best when the skin and hair are well hydrated.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol: Stay away from caffeine the day of your electrology appointment. Both contribute to dehydration in your skin. Caffeine's purpose is to keep us awake and alert, combine that with a the treatment energy and it can make anyone uncomfortable. Additionally caffeine-induced jitters can make it harder for an electrologist to follow the follicle being treated.

Post Treatment Care

Again stay hydrated: Staying hydrated after your electrolysis appointment is just as important as staying hydrated before your appointment. Your skin may heal faster when your body is properly hydrated.

Do not touch or scratch your skin: Following an electrolysis session your skin will be more susceptible to bacteria while your follicles heal. Scratching or touching the areas that have been treated may cause an acne breakout. Follow your electrologist’s post-treatment guide to ensure you are keeping your skin clean

Arrive stress free and relaxed: When you're scheduling an appointment be sure you give yourself plenty of time. Avoid making appointments for times when you'll feel rushed or stressed. Coming in relaxed can significantly reduce discomfort during your visit.

Allow three- four days growth prior to treatmen: Hair should be about the length of a grain of rice. We need to see it, to treat it. Please refrain from bleaching your hair between treatments as it makes it more difficult for your electrologist to see the haisr.

Apply cold compresses/ice to the area to avoid excessive redness or swelling if needed: Use for a duration of 2-5 min and additional 2-5 min as needed.

We provide facial cataphoresis following facial electrolysis which closes the follicle, gives a boost of hydration, helps promote skin healing and reduce inflammation, and has antibacterial benefits.

Skip the makeup brush: Staying makeup free for the first 24-48 hours after treatment will ensure that your recently-treated pores and skin remain clean and recover faster. Brand new make-up preferred, as used make-up harbors bacteria that can cause infection.

DO NOT tweeze pluck, or wax visible hairs. Clipping or shaving is preferred, so the hair will be available for removal at the next treatment.

*We treat the hair you leave, you keep the hairs you tweeze.

Apply an antibacterial ointment to the treatment area for 24-48 hours post treatment to prevent any potential bacteria entering the opened follicle.
