Electrolysis is the only medically approved form of permanent hair removal, and it is highly effective. If you have decided to schedule this form of hair removal, you’ll get the best results if you prepare properly for each treatment. Maximize your money, time, and efforts by preparing with the tips below.

A Guide to Electrolysis Appointment Prep

1. Leave Hair Alone 

The treatment is more effective if there is some hair present in the follicle, so stop shaving five days before your first appointment. Pause any other temporary hair removal treatments, such as waxing and tweezing, two or three weeks before your first session. Avoid these activities completely between all your continued appointments.

2. Hydrate

Hydrated skin is more elastic and responds better to electrolysis. Drink plenty of water in the week before the appointment, aiming for at least eight glasses each day. On the day of your session, avoid any beverages that would dehydrate you, such as soda or caffeinated drinks like coffee.

3. Avoid Chemicals

Nothing should be applied to the skin in the treatment area on the day of the appointment. This includes deodorant, lotion, perfume, or cream. Avoid any harsh skin treatments such as chemical peels for a few days before your appointment, as they could irritate your skin during the treatment.
