What can I expect at my first electrolysis appointment?
As you embark on your hair removal journey at Electrolysis and Skin Care of Topeka, expect a personalized experience designed for your comfort.
Upon arrival, Laurie, your dedicated practitioner, will warmly welcome you and assist you in finding a comfortable position for your treatment. For those who find lying flat challenging, a knee-lifting pillow will be provided to alleviate pressure on the lower back.
Once settled, Laurie will place an eye covering over your eyes to shield you from the bright light needed for the procedure. She will then prepare the treatment area by cleansing and disinfecting the skin, setting the stage for the electrolysis process.
The actual electrolysis begins with the insertion of a fine probe into each hair follicle, activating an electric current that directly reaches the hair root. This neutralizes the root, creating a sensation often likened to a gentle plucking or a small pinching feeling. With each successive follicle, the surrounding skin naturally becomes less sensitive. Laurie expertly guides you through this process for the entirety of your chosen appointment duration. You will be surprised how quickly the session goes by.
Upon completion, and post aid cream. A final cleansing of the area concludes your session.
You will be asked to provide your payment at the end of the session. This can be done with either cash, check, or credit card.
Post-treatment, it's normal to experience minor redness and swelling in the treated areas, this typically resolves within a few hours. To manage these effects, we recommend applying an ice pack in 15-minute intervals until the redness and swelling subsides. Maintain your regular skincare routine, but avoid abrasive cleansers and retinoids on the treated area for the first two days after treatment for optimal recovery.
