How should skin be prepared before electrolysis treatment?

Preparing the skin before electrolysis treatment is essential to ensure safety and effectiveness. Cleansing and possibly disinfecting the skin helps to remove any dirt, oil, or impurities from the surface. This process not only makes the hair follicles more accessible for the electrolysis treatment, but it also reduces the risk of infections. A clean surface allows the practitioner to work effectively and ensures that the treatment is performed in the best conditions for both the technician and the client.

Using heavy makeup would create a barrier that could prevent the electrolysis current from accessing the hair follicles properly. Moisturizing cream, while important for skin hydration, might leave a residue that could interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment. Exfoliating the skin with harsh scrubs could irritate the skin, making it more sensitive and potentially leading to adverse reactions during the electrolysis process. Proper cleansing and disinfection, therefore, provide a safe and effective foundation for the electrolysis treatment to proceed.
