Question 1

How long does it take for my skin to heal?

Accepted Answer

Every person heals differently and in their own time. Healing also depends on factors like the duration and the area that has been treated. As Electrolysis is a heat treatment, you may experience some puffiness and some redness and swelling with larger coarser hairs.

We recommend following our friendly electrologists aftercare instructions to help your skin heal beautifully.

Question 2

What aftercare products should I use after a treatment?

Accepted Answer

Each client will be provided with detailed aftercare instructions upon visiting us.

We provide a take home cooling cream to heal and soothe the skin, you can apply this multiple times until the skin has healed. You may also wish to ice or apply a cold pack to the skin to reduce any redness and puffiness. We recommend gently cleansing for the treated area with mild soap, avoid using harsh products and keep the area free from sweat and bacteria.

For 24hrs do not apply makeup or use antiperspirant on the treated area and avoid swimming. It is also important to use suncare products and avoid direct sunlight on the treated area. Do wear looser fitting clothes over the treated area.

Question 3

How long after a treatment can I exercise?

Accepted Answer

You should avoid any exercise or strong physical activity for at least 24-48 hours following your treatment.

When you return to exercise after this time, it’s essential that you practise good hygiene and be careful as your skin heals. This includes cleaning and washing the treated area after exercise with a gentle cleanser.

Be careful not to rub off any scabs with your towel. It’s also a good idea to wear looser fitting clothes over the treated area.

Question 4

Can I wear makeup after a treatment?

Accepted Answer

It is best to avoid applying makeup to the treated area for at least 24 hours following treatment. 
After this time, it’s important that you follow good hygiene practices at home to prevent infection. Be gentle with your skin, wash your hands and don’t forget to cleanse your face before and after applying your makeup.

Question 5

Will I get scarring after a treatment?

Accepted Answer

When performed by a trained and experienced professional, electrolysis is a very safe procedure with minimal risk of scarring. The skin may appear slightly red or swollen immediately after treatment, but this usually subsides within a few hours to a day.

As with any skincare treatment, following proper aftercare is essential to support healing and prevent irritation. We’ll provide you with simple post-treatment guidelines to help your skin recover smoothly. Scarring is rare, but can occur if the skin is picked at, scratched, or not properly cared for during the healing process. If you have any concerns about your skin’s sensitivity or healing, we’re always here to guide you.

If you have any questions or concerns about aftercare following electrolysis, we’re here for you! Please don’t hesitate to contact us.
