Before your electrolysis treatment:

• Keep yourself well hydrated. Hairs slide out of the follicle much easier when you're hydrated.

• If you have been shaving before starting electrolysis, please allow 3-5 days worth of growth to ensure your hairs are in anagen growing cycle, and so the hairs can be easily removed.

• Avoid abrasive skin facials or chemical peels one week prior and post treatment.

After your electrolysis treatment:

• Avoid touching the treated area for 24 hours after treatment, as your pores are open and this can increase your chances of infection.

• Avoid saunas and swimming pools for the first 24 hours.

• You can apply witch hazel, aloe vera or an ice pack after your treatment to soothe the treated area.

• Occasionally a small scab may form around the follicle. Please avoid picking, scratching or rubbing the scab. When the underlying skin heals the crust will fall off leaving the skin normal.

• If you need to remove hairs between appointments please shave, trim or use depilatory cream. Waxing, plucking and sugaring interfere with electrolysis, and need to be avoided.

• Avoid direct sunlight for the first 48 hours after treatment to avoid pigmentation.
