Electrolysis tips and advice

  • For a more comfortable treatment avoid caffeine before your appointment.
  • Exfoliate your skin before your treatment opens up the follicles and lets the unwanted hair slide out more easily.
  • If your electrologist can’t see the hairs, they can’t zap the hairs. Plucking, waxing, threading, tweezing or shaving before your hair removal appointment reduces the number of hairs your electrologist can remove.
  • Rest assured that Electrolysis is the only hair removal method recognized as Permanent by the FDA. Laser is only FDA Reduction.
  • Ask your electrologist for aftercare advice.
  • Talk to your electrologist about any questions or concerns. We want your experience to be as comfortable and effective as possible.
  • Drinking plenty of water it helps the hair slide out more easily.
  • Clean skin releases unwanted hair more easily. Remove your makeup before your appointment, so the hair follicles are clean and accessible.
  • It’s okay to shave between treatments leaving 5-7 days before your next treatment, but never, ever tweeze, wax or thread!
  • The hair you see is not all the hair you have. Hair grows in cycles. That’s why it takes multiple appointments to permanently clear an area.
