Pre -Treatment Care:

  • Do not use irritating skin care products before and while having electrolysis treatments Ex Salicylic Acid, Proactive, Retin A, Accutane. Please check the ingredient list on your skincare products. All ingredients that you cannot pronounce are suspect. This is especially true if you have sensitive skin.

    • If you use moisturizer then on the day of treatment use a small amount.

    • Please bathe before your treatments. This is recommended to help keep the treated area free of bacteria.

    • Drink plenty of water the day of your treatment.

    • Limit caffeine before your treatment.

    • If you find the treatments to be painful feel free to take a pain reliever or something to relax you before the treatment. We highly recommend CBD Oil/pills and/or Omni Arnica CBD Lotion. It is very effective and much safer than topical anesthetic. You can purchase this from us in the office or click here online
      https://www.omnitrition.com/?u=MaryellenLittle. Here is the only link for the anesthetic that we recommend. https://supernumb.com/ We carry this in the office but it is cheaper if you buy it directly from them.

    After Treatment Care:

    For the first 3 days after a treatment:

    • You may find your skin may have some swelling and redness in the treated area. This is completely normal and a good sign. This condition should disappear within an hour or two but may last a day or so.

    • Some very slight scabbing can happen at times. Be careful not to remove scabs, apply more Aloe Vera. At the next session be sure to TELL US, so we can adjust the treatment.

    • Keep the area clean and dry to facilitate healing. Do not touch, rub, scratch or squeeze the treated area.

    • After cleansing pat dry, apply ORGANIC/ALL NATURAL Aloe Vera Gel at night and in the morning for 3 nights and 3 mornings and as needed for irritation. DO NOT use moisturizer as it can cause blemishes. Do NOT use ALOE VERA with artificial colors and preservatives.

    • Do Not Use makeup in the treatment area for 3 days after your treatment. It can block the open hair follicles causing blemishes. The older the makeup the greater the chances of infection. Powder Mineral makeup seems to be OK for many of our clients.

    • Do Not Use Ice -The swelling is a result of the treatment and facilitates the destruction of the hair germ cells. The application of ice un-does what we have just tried to destroy. Ice applied directly on your skin longer than 10 minutes may cause frostbite.

    • Do Not sunbathe for 3 days after your treatment. Everyday outdoor activity is OK.

    • Do Not use a sauna or swim 24 hours after your treatment.

    If you have a negative reaction please call us. We often recommend the coconut oil cleanser recipe below.
    Coconut Oil Salt Deep Cleanser – Apply as often as needed

    2 Tablespoon Raw Organic Coconut Oil
    4 Tablespoons Finely Ground Salt.

    Place Coconut Oil and Salt in a very clean glass container with a lid. Soak in a bowl of very hot water to soften.  Once softened stir to mix. Stir occasionally to keep it from separating as it cools.  Apply to the skin as often as needed. Remove with a soft washcloth and warm water. Apply Aloe Vera after.Do Not wear makeup in the treatment area. You may wash it off in the powder room before your treatment
