DON’T
Increase Risk of Infection
Avoid rubbing, scratching, and over-touching the treated area within the first 24-hours post-treatment.
Alcohol Based Products
Refrain from using products like perfume immediately following treatment. Isopropyl alcohol burns and can irritate the treated area because the pores are open.
Remove Scabs
It’s normal for scabs to form after electrolysis, so it’s important to never pick them. Removing a scab prematurely can cause scars and increase chances of infection.
Clog Pores
Refrain from applying make-up, deodorants or any other products that may clog the pores of the treated area.
Wax, Tweeze, Thread or Sugar
If you must remove your hair between appointments, then shave, clip or use a depilatory cream.
Remember, if you bleach in between appointments, make sure there is enough time for your hair to grow back in so your electrologist can see your roots {approx 1/16” to 1/8”}.
Sweat Excessively
Engagement in activities that cause excessive sweating, like working-out or sitting in a sauna, immediately after treatment can trigger a build-up of bacteria and cause infection.
