Treatment Tips

 

When you do finally start on the ELECTROLYSIS PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL path…If you have been waxing, tweezing, threading, it is VERY important to STOP! When you remove the hair by these methods you are actually stimulating the follicle as well as the surrounding follicles. What happens is the hair grows thicker, deeper and darker. The hair can also become distorted which can result in ingrown hairs and pimples. 

 

Pre-Treatment 

Things to avoid at least 4 HOURS BEFORE TREATMENT:·

  • Caffeine

  • Sugar

  • Salt

 

These may make you more sensitive to their treatment.

 

Post-Treatment

After electrolysis treatments, your hair follicles are open for 48 hours. It is important that you do not touch treated area to avoid bacteria getting in. Also it is a good idea to ice for 5-10 minutes on treated area. This can help in calming the treated area and closing the hair follicle. To avoid this please follow the instructions listed:

  1. Avoid exposure to sun for 48 hours

  2. Only medicated makeup should be applied to treated areas if necessary.

  3. No deodorant for 48 hours after underarm treatment. Use Sea Breeze or Witch Hazel instead

  4. Do not pick off scabs if they should appear. This is a natural part of healing process and they will fall off when healing is completed.

  5. Antibiotic ointments act as a good barrier if tolerated and will help in healing process. Avoid used of ointment on eyebrow area. Examples: Bacetracin, Neosporin, Aquaphor)

  6. If pustules should appear apply compresses of 1 Tbsp. Epsom salts to 1 qt. warm water.
    Use a clean cloth, repeat until water is cool, rinse with cool water and apply antibiotic ointment
    Repeat twice a day.
