Post Care Instructions
Here is what you can expect; because your skin is not familiar with the electrolysis process, after an appointment it is normal for your skin to have a few different responses and go through a healing process between 2-14 days after your appointment.
Some of those responses include:
Swelling
Redness
Agitation/ Irritation
Tenderness/ Soreness
Hyperpigmentation
Light Scabbing
Although these responses are to be expected, none of them are permanent. We strongly recommend a few do’s and don'ts to aid and expedite your healing time after your treatment.
Do:
-
Feel free to take ibuprofen to reduce any swelling or tenderness within first few days of treatment.
-
Apply cold compress after treatment to help soothe skin and reduce swelling that may occur
-
Apply Calamine lotion overnight to treated area. (Rinse gently in the morning with anti bacterial soap and water, Do NOT scrub off)
-
Clean the area twice every day with Witch Hazel. (Once before starting the day , once before you apply Calamine lotion for bed)
-
Apply Aloe Vera or Antibiotic Ointment on treated area during the day.
-
Allow scabbing (if any) to fall off on its own.
Don't:
-
Do not Exfoliate the area being treated within 24 hours of your appointment time
-
Do not use your normal facial regimen or products on treated area during your healing time.
-
Do not continually touch your face during your healing time ( this is to prevent infection)
-
Do not wear material/clothing that will constantly rub against treated area. (This includes a mask)
-
Do not scrub or rub skin aggressively.
-
Do not pick at scabs after treatment ( PICKING CAUSES SCARRING)
-
Do not pick at skin at all.
