After an electrolysis treatment, the follicles in the treated area are open and susceptible to bacteria. It is very important to keep the area clean. Please refrain from rubbing, scratching, squeezing, or touching the treated area for 24 hours
Witch hazel and aloe work well as after care products to soothe the skin. An ice pack with a clean paper towel/cloth covering can be applied to the treated area for 5-10 minutes to help with any swelling.
Avoid exposure to the sun for 48 hours. Avoid baths, long showers, hot/ humid air, sweating or anything which may irritate the skin for 24 hours. Avoid alcohol or oil-based skin products on the treated area for 48 hours
Written aftercare instructions will be given to each client at the end of their appointment. These may include more in depth information about caring for your skin after treatment.
