I work closely with clients, offering personalized treatment plans that address your unique goals and concerns. I am here to guide and support you every step of the way, ensuring a smooth and successful transition process.

Before Treatment

DO

Hydrate & Moisturize

Drink a lot of water during the full course of your treatment sessions for best hair removal results.

Try avoiding chocolate, caffeine and alcohol 24-hrs before treatment to promote further hydration.

Clean & Fresh

Always arrive to your appointment in good hygiene.

Communicate

Always tell your electrologist the truth and disclose all health conditions when completing the forms provided.

DON’T

Use Retinoids

Stop using retinoids at least 1-week prior to treatment.

Clog Pores

Refrain from applying make-up, deodorants or any other products that may clog the pores of the area being treated.

Bleach, Pluck, or Wax Hair

Never bleach hair right before an appointment. The harder the hair is to see, the harder it is to remove. If you bleach in between appointments, allow enough time for your hair to grow back in so your electrologist can see your roots {approx 1/16” to 1/8”}.

Sun Exposure

Stay out of the sun for at least 48-hrs prior to electrolysis treatment to avoid dilation of the blood vessels.


After Treatment

DO

Soothe

Apply aloe vera or alocane to reduce redness and inflammation.

Cleanse

Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser to keep it clean and prevent infection.

Follow Up

If you experience any unusual or prolonged side effects, such as excessive redness, swelling, or infection, consult with your electrologist or a healthcare provider.

Re-book

Follow recommended schedule to treat hair effectively in the growth cycle.

DON’T

Touch

Avoid touching or scratching the treated area for at least 24 hours.

Tan

RAvoid exposure to direct sunlight or tanning beds for at least 48 hours.

Beautify

Do not apply any makeup or skincare products to the treated area for 24 hours.

Heat

Avoid hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms for 24-48 hours.

Pick, Tweeze, or Wax

Let hair naturally fall out in between sessions.
