Tips for Getting the Most from Electrolysis

If you are struggling with excess hair and have considered several removal options, electrolysis in Staten Island might be the way to go! Electrolysis is the removal of hair roots with the use of heat by an electric current. This hair removal process works on most parts of the body, including eyebrows and bikini area. 

If you’re considering electrolysis treatments, the following tips will help you to get the most of the procedure. 

Comfort is key - If you’re comfortable during the procedure, it will go quickly and smoothly. Let the technician know beforehand if you’re uncomfortable. 

Hydrate - Hydration helps with the healing process, so be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after.  

Fuel up - Many clients have said that a meal before treatment has helped to ease discomfort. 

Take a pain pill - If you are worried about pain, a pain reliever taken 30 minutes prior can reduce discomfort. 

Avoid touching - It is not recommended to touch the newly smooth area, as tempting as it may be. Rubbing or scratching the area can spread bacteria which can lead to a breakout of whiteheads.  

No working out - Make sure you get your workout in before treatments as excessive sweating can cause bacteria to enter open follicles. Swimming in a chlorinated pool is also a no-no within the first 48 hours of treatment.
