Pre-Treatment Care

For 24 hours PRIOR to and up to Your Appointment

DOs

✔ STAY HYDRATED! This makes healing and pain management SO much better.

✔ Eat. Keep blood sugar levels up and avoid caffeine.

✔ Discontinue the use of Accutane, Retinoids, Benzoyl Peroxide, and skin care products with active ingredients.

✔ Moisturize. Up until right before your appointment. This helps make the skin more elastic, which is ideal for healing.

✔ Exfoliate your skin regularly. This removes debris from the follicle, making treatment easier and potentially faster.

✔ Let your hair grow. Allow 2–3 days of growth before your appointment.

DON’Ts

✖ Do not shave, wax, pluck, or remove hair by the root.

✖ Avoid chemical treatments. Do not come in after facials, chemical peels, or other aggressive skin treatments.

✖ Please limit guests. Treatment rooms are small and your Electrologist may need room to move and work comfortably.

✖ Do not shave or trim. Hair needs to be long enough to grasp with tweezers (approximately 2–3 days of growth).

✖ Do not pick at scabs or disturb your skin. Your Electrologist can assist with minor extractions if needed.
