For Electrolysis Aftercare
Whenever I see patients their safety and comfort is always my number one concern. In addition to answering all their questions about their electrolysis treatment, I also provide a take home sheet with instructions on what is required for Electrolysis aftercare.

For electrolysis aftercare and smooth skin recovery, try the following:
- Apply an antibiotic ointment or cream twice daily after you clean your skin for 3 days. Ideal times are night and before makeup
- Avoid sun exposure for 2 or more days. Skin cannot heal well when exposed to sun. It is best to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect you from long-wave UVA rays which cause most skin damage. Avoid Tanning booths for at least a week after treatment if not all together.
- Avoid touching the treated area. Do not remove any scabbing that may occur, it’s your body’s natural healing response.
- Facials are not recommended for 7 days following treatment. (this only applies if you have had a hair removal for your face)
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours following treatment (this only applies if you have had a hair removal for your face)
- Use common sense in keeping area clean. i.e: don’t work out immediately following appointments, be mindful of resting your face against the telephone, use clean pillowcase, etc.
