BEFORE & AFTER ELECTROLYSIS

Hydrate and Moisturize! Staying hydrated is essential for effective treatment, as dry hair follicles are harder to treat. Hydrated follicles make sessions more comfortable and effective. Be sure to drink plenty of liquids the day before, day of, and day after your appointment, and moisturize the day before and day of your session.

Cleanliness Matters: For body treatments (e.g., bikini and underarm areas), please arrive showered and clean. Clean skin reduces the risk of infection and irritation, so avoid makeup, deodorants, lotions, and oils on the day of the procedure.

Hair Visibility: Longer hair makes treatment easier and quicker. Choose an appointment time that allows your hair to be sufficiently visible for best results.

Avoid Stimulants: Refrain from coffee, soda, and sugary or caffeinated products, as these can increase sensitivity.

Limit Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 48 hours before your appointment.

Pain Relief Options: Consider taking a mild pain reliever 30-45 minutes before your session for added comfort. Topical numbing creams are also available (some with a prescription). Apply any cream within an hour of your appointment for best results.

For Brazilian bikini treatments: Please note that bikini treatments cannot be performed during menstruation for hygiene reasons. Also, please shower/wash and wear clean underwear before your appointment.

Discuss any questions or concerns with your electrologist for a safe, comfortable experience.

•  Swelling and redness are ok reactions. These conditions will usually disappear a few hours after but may last longer. You must apply an ice compress to treated area for at least 12 hours after treatment.  Apply a thin layer of any over the counter antibiotic ointment to help you heal faster, such as Neosporin, Hydrocortisone, calamine lotion, Bacitracin, Polysporin, or any other antibacterial ointment for the first 2 nights following treatment. If redness persists, Cortaid or Cortisone (1%).
• You may experience tiny formations of fluid that appear to look like milia or whiteheads. Do not, pop or scratch the area. You may exfoliate delicately with a soft towel. 

• No exposure to. saunas, hot showers, Gym or anything that makes you perspire until the following day after treatment.
• DO NOT PLUCK! In between treatments. We encourage you to do nothing to the hairs. The next best option is cutting or clipping the area until your next appointment. Do not wait more than 2-3 weeks for your next treatment
