Before & After Care

BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT

  • Drink Lots of Water!!!  The day before and the day of.  The water within your tissues acts as a conductor for the electricity.

  • Hygiene is extremely important, please shower before treatment, especially for private area(s). 

  • No make-up on the face. 

  • No deodorant, if working on the axillae.

  • No caffeine, sugar or chocolate, these cause sensitivity.  Note if you are a week shy of or on your menstrual cycle, this will also cause extreme sensitivity.  

  • Numbing cream needs to be applied 45 minutes prior to treatment, (apply a thick layer to the area and cover with saran wrap).  By doing this you keep the numbing cream active. 

  • You may take Tylenol 30 min prior to treatment.

AFTER TREATMENT

  • Continue to Drink Plenty of Water. 

  • Do Not Touch the  treated area with your fingers, this may cause white heads.  If White heads occur,  apply an Epsom Salt compress, (Mix 1 tablespoon of Epsom Salt with 1/2 cup of warm water, mix and soak up with a washcloth, apply cloth to the area(s) infected.  Let sit for 5 minutes or until puss has drawn out, apply Tea Tree oil with a Q-tip to infected areas.  (Do not pick at these, more bacteria will get into the follicle, making it worse). 

  • For swelling and redness, you may apply Arnica Gel or Cream.  Ice may also be applied immediately after treatment. 

  • For scabs, apply Neosporin and/or Aloe Vera apply daily until completely healed. Hydrocortisone cream may be applied for 2 days only.  (Do not pick your scabs you can create permanent scars). 

  • Avoid the Sun as much as possible.  Side Effects may cause Hyperpigmentation.  

  • Avoid Sweating. 

  • Avoid make-up.  If you must, you may use brand new or sanitized brushes and sponges. 

  • Do Not Tweeze or Wax in between your Electrolysis treatments, you will defeat the purpose, these methods stimulate, while I am trying to destroy.  You may shave, cut or use a Depilatory cream. 

  • Some re-growth is expected, this is normal, some follicles need more than one treatment.  You will notice the hair to be scarce over time and not as coarse, eventually eliminated.
