Pre - Post Treatment Instructions
Preparation for
Treatment
- Apply moisturizing
cream every day, twice a day on the area to be treated.
- When is too cold
or too hot, water with electrolytes is recommended.
- Avoid Caffeine prior
to treatment. As it “wakes up” nerve endings making you more
sensitive.
- Avoid rushing prior
your appointment which can make you tense and nervous. Arrive at the office
early to allow yourself ample time to relax.
- If you are very sensitive,
Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, etc., taken prior your treatment may decrease your
sensitivity.
- Avoid wearing deodorant
prior to an underarm treatment.s
Pre & Post Treatment Skin Care:
- Skin will be cleansed
before and after with an antibacterial lotion.
- After treatment,
a regenerating cream/gel will be applied and Cataphoresis
will be performed which will:
1.Relieve redness, inflammation and irritation.
2.Restore the skin’s natural pH level.
3.Soothe and provide bactericidal, germicidal and vasoconstriction action.
4.Promote greater penetration of active products to enhance treatment effectiveness.
5.Accelerates the healing process of the skin.
Home Care Instructions:
Depending on individual skin types, you may display redness and a small amount
of swelling after treatment. This is normal. If any other manifestations occur,
it is temporary and will disappear shortly with proper care. Do not aggravate
the treatment area. Please follow these instructions:
- Do activities that
keep you cool.
- Avoid sunning, working
out, hot tubs, etc. which can increase swelling until treatment area has
completely healed.
- Keep treated area
clean until treatment area has completely healed.
- For electrolysis
treatment on the face, try not to apply make-up for at least 24 hours.
- If you must wear
make-up, put an antibiotic ointment on first.
- For electrolysis treaments
on the underarm, avoid wearing deodorant for at least 48 hours. Deodorant
clogs the pores and dries out the skin, increasing the healing time.
- Wear sunscreen at
all times. If the treatment area is unprotected while healing, hyperpigmentation
may occur.
- Apply ionizable cream
twice a day for two or three days or until treatment area has healed.
