The best way to treat your skin after electrolysis is to behave as though you have a mild sunburn. Use a lightweight lotion to make sure your skin gets plenty of moisture. This will help it to heal faster, help prevent scabbing and will relieve discomfort. Electrolysis leaves the hair follicle exposed for a short time after treatment. Touching or scratching your face can transfer bacteria to your vulnerable skin, leading to breakouts and infection. Try not to touch your face for the first 1-2 days after treatment. If you do need to touch your face, wash your hands first. If scabs form, allow them to fall off naturally. Picking at them can lead to scarring. If makeup gets into the hair follicle while it is healing, it can lead to irritation and possibly infection. Translucent powder is okay, but avoid all other forms of makeup for a day or two so your skin can heal. Make sure to protect your face from exposure to UVA and UVB rays after you undergo electrolysis. Sun exposure on recently treated skin can lead to a form of discoloration known as hyperpigmentation. You should always wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 when you will be out in the sun, but it's especially important for the first 1-2 days after electrolysis, Sweating shortly after electrolysis can cause skin irritation and clogged pores, which can lead to an infection. Take a day or two off from the gym after your electrolysis treatment to ensure you get the best results.
