Treatment care

PRE-TREATMENT CARE

Advanced electrolysis, also known as thermolysis or anti-coagulation, is a highly effective and precise treatment for various skin blemishes. Skin tags, seborrheic warts, thread veins, age spots, milia, and other imperfections can be easily treated with this method. However, to ensure the best results and minimize any potential risks, it is essential to follow proper pre care instructions. If you are planning to undergo advanced electrolysis, here are some things to keep in mind:

1. Before your treatment, it is recommended that you avoid sun exposure or tanning for at least two weeks. This will help reduce the risk of skin irritation and ensure better treatment outcomes.

2. If you are taking any medications or supplements, it is essential to inform your practitioner. This will help them determine if any adjustments need to be made to your treatment plan.

3. You should also avoid using any retinol or exfoliants in the treated area for at least 48 hours prior to your appointment. This will allow your skin to fully heal and prepare for the treatment.

4. Your practitioner will also advise you to abstain from alcohol or caffeine consumption on the day of your appointment. This is because alcohol and caffeine can increase blood flow to the treated area, increasing the risk of bleeding and bruising.

5. To ensure maximum comfort during the procedure, it is essential to dress comfortably. Loose-fitting, breathable clothing is recommended to minimize any irritation or discomfort during the treatment.

6. Finally, it is essential to keep the treated area clean and dry until it has fully healed. Your practitioner will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, including how to properly care for the treated area and prevent any infection or complications.
