Best Electrolysis Hair Removal near me in Belper

A typical session lasts between 15-60 minutes, but the length of time depends on whether the hair is coarse, in-grown or has deeper follicles. It also depends on the area being treated, and the quantity being removed. Your technician should be able to factor this in and give you a more precise timeframe.

Your practitioner should advise you on aftercare, but you’ll be encouraged to sterilize and soothe your skin with aloe vera, diluted tea tree oil or something similar; and to apply a cold compress to reduce inflammation. Pain relief can be taken if you continue to experience discomfort. You should also avoid the sun, swimming pools, rubbing, scratching and over-touching the treated area immediately after the treatment, and steer clear of make-up, exercise, alcohol-based skin products, and waxing, too. Ask your electrolysis technician to explain in detail what you should and shouldn’t do post treatment.

Most people describe a mild stinging or warmth sensation during electrolysis. The feeling varies depending on the area being treated and individual sensitivity. Topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment to reduce discomfort.
