Electrolysis Post-Care Guide

Clinical care for permanent results.

Immediate aftercare

The first 24 to 48 hours after your session.

Keep it clean
Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild, fragrance-free soap or an antiseptic such as witch hazel. Avoid touching the area with unwashed hands.
Reduce inflammation
Apply a cold compress or ice pack, wrapped in a clean cloth, for 10 to 15 minutes at a time to reduce swelling and redness.
Soothe
Use 100% pure aloe vera gel, or a recommended post-electrolysis cream, to calm the follicles.

ImportantTiny scabs are a natural part of the healing process. Do not pick, scratch, or squeeze them — doing so can lead to scarring or infection.

The do-not list

For the next 48 hours.

No sun exposure

Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds to prevent hyperpigmentation.

No heavy sweating

Skip the gym, saunas, and hot tubs.

No makeup or perfume

Avoid applying cosmetics or scented products to the treated area.

No friction

Avoid tight clothing over the treated area.

Between appointments

Never tweeze or wax
If you need to manage hair growth between sessions, only shave or trim with scissors. Plucking or waxing resets the growth cycle and interferes with your results.

Consistency is key to permanent hair removal. See you at your next session.
