Electrolysis

Instructions pre-sessions

  • No electric, depilatory, tweezing or waxing on the areas to be treated 1 month before the session.
  • Stop shaving in time for your treatment (we need to be able to grab the hair with tweezers). For the face: stop 5 days in advance For the genital area: stop 10 days in advance
  • Moisturise yourself and the area to be waxed several days in advance
  • Avoid sun exposure the week before your session. Protect the area to be treated with a high protection sunscreen
  • On the day of your electrolysis, your skin must be clean: no make-up.
  • Please arrive on time.
  • Wear comfortable clothes.

Instructions post-sessions

  • You may experience slight swelling, redness and a warm feeling after the session. This is completely normal. These effects last one to two days at the most. Refresh your face with a cold compress, it is best to alternate between 20 minutes and 20 minutes off. Dry your face well afterwards and use the soothing gel. Tip: You can store the gel in your refrigerator to have an extra cooling effect on the skin.
  • Use a soothing cream and apply it generously to the treated area. This stimulates a quick recovery. You can continue to use the soothing gel between treatments to moisturise the skin. Well moisturised skin makes electrolysis more effective, as the water in the skin is the electrical conductor.
  • Do not remove any scabs that may form. This can lead to scarring if you remove them. Let them fall off naturally.
  • Avoid sun exposure for the first two weeks after treatment.
  • Use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day.
  • Do not use make-up for the first 48 hours – make-up can lead to infections and pimples.
  • Avoid creams with alcohol, antiperspirants and anything that can irritate the skin for 48 hours.
  • Avoid heat and activities that increase blood circulation for 48 hours (sports activities, but also: saunas, hot baths, deckchairs, Jacuzzis and steam treatments).

Instructions between sessions
