My Electrolysis Tips & Tricks…
1. Word to the wise, “Water is your best friend.” Being adequately hydrated helps ensure you get the best treatments possible!
2. Avoiding caffeine prior to appointment can help decrease sensitivity.
3. Be good to your skin. Follow the post care treatment guidelines included on my website.
4. Remember my mantra… “If you tweeze one hair, two will come to the funeral.” Be strong, don’t tweeze.
5. Communication is vital. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Working together gives ideal treatments for you.
6. Using a mild exfoliant to remove dead skin & debris from the hair follicle helps me treat hair more quickly.
7. Removal of makeup prior to appointment is a good idea. Clean & accessible hair follicles are best for treatment.
8. Hair should be shaved or trimmed to approximately ¼ inch so that it can be treated and removed easily.
9. If you have a low pain threshold and need some “numbing love” apply 4% over-the-counter lidocaine cream 1-2 hours prior to appointment covering with saran wrap.
10. Some clients feel less discomfort if they premedicate with a low dose of Tylenol or Ibuprofen taken with some food prior to treatment session.
11. Hair grows in cycles, so many are not visible on surface of skin at the same time. This is why multiple hair treatments are necessary to permanently clear an area.
12. Be patient with your progress. Remember every individual is different. You will become permanently hair free in time.
