Electrolysis Aftercare Instructions​

Proper aftercare is essential to support healthy skin recovery, minimize irritation, and reduce the risk of post-treatment complications.

​

Keep the Treated Area Clean

Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. Avoid touching the skin with unwashed hands.

​

Recommended Aftercare Products

• Natural Aloe Vera: Apply a thin layer of a gentle, fragrance-free aloe vera product to soothe and hydrate the treated skin.

• Hypochlorous Acid Spray: Use a skin-safe hypochlorous acid spray according to the product instructions to gently cleanse the treated area.

• Avoid Heavy Products: Avoid applying excessive amounts of heavy creams, oils, or ointments to freshly treated areas.

​

Avoid Makeup for 72 Hours

Do not apply makeup to treated areas for 72 hours following electrolysis. The follicles and surrounding skin are temporarily more vulnerable to irritation after treatment.

Makeup, excess oil, sweat, and other contaminants may contribute to irritation or follicular breakouts during recovery.

​

Additional Precautions

• Avoid excessive sweating, saunas, hot tubs, and activities that cause significant heat or friction while the skin is recovering.

• Do not pick, scratch, or squeeze bumps or small crusts.

• Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and harsh skincare products until the skin has healed.

• Protect treated areas from unnecessary sun exposure.​

What to Expect

Temporary redness, mild swelling, and tenderness are normal following electrolysis and generally resolve as the skin recovers.

Occasional small bumps or pustules may develop. Contact Barely Hair if you have questions or concerns about your skin's response.

Seek medical attention for spreading redness, increasing pain, warmth, pus, fever, or worsening symptoms.
