- Electrolysis treatments are good for any skin type and for white, grey, blond or red hair
- Good hygiene is an important part of your treatment preparation
- Wash your hair if the hair line or nape is to be treated
- Thoroughly bathe for body work
- Please, no lotions, oils, deodorants or makeup on the treatment area. Clean skin reduces the risk of irritation and inflammation
- Wear freshly laundered bikini or brief underwear for a bikini line or brazilian area treatment
- Avoid caffeine intake on the treatment day
