Electrolysis: Prepare and Care

What is helpful to know before and after your care to keep your treatment with, effective and restorative.

Before Your Appointment

One Week Before

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure or irritation to the area

  • Pause strong actives if skin is sensitive (retinoids, acids)

  • Stay well hydrated to support the skin and follicle

The Day Before

  • Gently cleanse the area

  • Avoid new products or anything that may irritate the skin

  • Light exfoliation is okay if your skin tolerates it well

Day Of

Please arrive with clean, product-free skin

We may need to reschedule if:

  • There is active irritation, infection, or broken skin

  • The area is heavily congested or inflamed

  • You are feeling unwell or have heightened skin sensitivity

  • Do not shave the area — hair needs to be present for treatment

After Your Treatment

First 24–48 Hours

  • Keep the area clean and undisturbed

  • Avoid touching, picking, or applying heavy products

  • Skip heat: workouts, saunas, hot showers

  • Use a light, soothing option like witch hazel or aloe if needed

First 24–48 Hours

  • Avoid sun exposure and use SPF as needed

  • Let the skin heal naturally—no picking or exfoliating too soon

  • Continue staying hydrated to support skin recovery

A Note on Results

Electrolysis treats each follicle individually.
Consistency over time leads to complete, permanent results.
