Electrolysis post-treatment

Now your first Elecytrolysis session is complete you’ll want to ensure you get the very best results and, to some extent, that’s up to you!  These are a few suggestions that will make a significant difference to both short and longer term outcomes.  Please take the time to read and follow the advice here.

Important information

Redness and a feeling of sunburn are also common symptoms after the procedure but will subside quickly.  You may notice raised bumps for about an hour or so after treatment and pinprick scabs the following day, which should be left to heal naturally.

If you see very red dots on your body where the hair has been removed, don’t worry these generally fade within a week or so.

Some people may also experience a lightening or darkening of the treated skin and in most cases this will return to normal.

Do not

  • Go out in the sun and always use a sun screen of at least SPF 30+
  • Take strenuous exercise for a few days after treatment
  • Expose yourself to extreme temperatures such as saunas, steam rooms, sunbathing, UV lamps, skiing or ice-skating for at least a week after treatment
  • Scratch, rub or pick at the area that has been treated or you will prevent it healing properly
  • Apply make-up on treated areas for 24 hours after treatment
  • Wax, pluck, thread or use depilatory creams between treatments
  • Use skin exfoliation products or have microdermabrasion treatments for 10 days after treatment.

It's ok to

  • Wash your face 6-8 hours after the procedure, but we recommend using a gentle face wash
  • Apply Aloe Vera Gel at least twice daily
