Q: How do I prepare for an electrolysis treatment?

Avoid tweezing, waxing, or threading the hair for a couple of weeks before starting treatment and switch to shaving to let more hairs grow and make your treatment more effective. Let hairs grow for 36-48 hours before your treatment for best results. Reducing caffeine and increasing water and rest will make your treatment even better.
