Electrolysis Post-Treatment - Keep the treated area clean after treatment, especially the first 24 hours.
- Cool treated area for 10+ minutes to help diminishing redness, swelling or other irritation.
- Use a gentle, fragrance free cleanser and cream on the area.
- Always apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher if in the sun.
- Avoid rough face cloths, scrubs or brushes.
- You may apply: neosporin,aloe or medicated makeup, hydrocortisone cream .5% or 1%, 100% pure Aloe Vera gel, medicated make-up specially formulated for post-electrolysis care.
- Ask about which medication to use with your skin type.
- Apply medication for 3 days after each treatment or longer if any irritation persists. Medication promotes healing and provides a protective covering that filters dust or air-borne elements from entering treated area.
- Never remove pinhead scabs. They will shed when area is completely healed.
- Remember that the healing process takes place in the dermal layer of the skin and works up through the layers of the epidermis, the top layer of the skin.
