PRE ELECTROLYSIS
GUIDELINES
Hydration
Start increasing your water intake now! Proper hydration ensures that the deeper layers of your skin retain moisture, making hair removal more effective. Dehydrated hair follicles are more difficult to treat, and staying hydrated also promotes faster healing.
Stop Hair Removal Methods
Cease tweezing, waxing, threading, or any other hair removal techniques immediately! Shaving or trimming is acceptable between appointments, but visible hair is necessary for treatment. Ideally, allow at least three days of hair growth before your consultation.
Medical Consultation
If you have any health conditions affecting your skin, heart, blood, or hair growth, consult your doctor before proceeding with electrolysis.

​
​
Avoid
On the day of your appointment, steer clear of caffeine, chocolate, and sugar, as they can increase sensitivity during treatment.
​
Refrain from sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 48 hours before your appointment to prevent blood vessel dilation.
​
​Discontinue the use of retinoids at least one week before treatment.
Good Hygiene
Keep the treatment area clean to prevent bacteria from spreading after electrolysis. Avoid applying lotions, oils, or creams beforehand. Examples include staying makeup-free for facial treatments and deodorant-free for underarm treatments.​
Cosmetic Injections
Wait at least two weeks after receiving cosmetic injections (such as Botox or dermal fillers) before scheduling an electrolysis treatment.
