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
