Pre- and Post-Care Guidelines
Queen of Swords offers comprehensive pre-op care for transgender and non-binary individuals. I provide personalized treatment plans tailored to each client's unique goals, guiding and supporting them throughout their permanent hair removal journey.
PRE-CARE
☾
PRE-CARE ☾
Hydrate & Moisturize
Drink a lot of water during the full course of your treatment sessions for best hair removal results.
Try avoiding chocolate, caffeine and alcohol 24-hrs before treatment to promote further hydration.
Before Treatment
DO
Feel Clean & Fresh
Always arrive at your appointment with good hygiene. This is important to your safety and comfort during the service!
Communicate
Always tell your electrologist the truth and disclose all health conditions when completing the forms provided.
Use Retinoids
Stop using retinoids at least 1-week before treatment. If you are unsure if what you’re using has retinoids in it, double-check the ingredient list and reach out if you have any questions.
DON’T
Clog Pores
Refrain from applying make-up, deodorants, or any other products that may clog the pores of the area being treated.
Bleach, Pluck, or Wax Hair
Never bleach hair right before an appointment. The harder the hair is to see, the harder it is to remove. If you bleach in between appointments, allow enough time for your hair to grow back in so your electrologist can see your roots {approx 1/16” to 1/8”}.
Sun Exposure
Stay out of the sun for at least 48 hours prior to electrolysis treatment to avoid dilation of the blood vessels.
POST-CARE
✦
POST-CARE ✦
Soothe
Apply aloe vera or alocane to reduce redness and inflammation.
After Treatment
DO
Cleanse
Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser to keep it clean and prevent infection.
Follow Up
If you experience any unusual or prolonged side effects, such as excessive redness, swelling, or infection, consult with your electrologist or a healthcare provider.
Re-book
Follow the recommended schedule to treat hair effectively in the growth cycle and achieve the best results possible!
DON’T
Touch
Avoid touching or scratching the treated area for at least 24 hours.
Tan
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or tanning beds for at least 48 hours.
Use Unapproved Aftercare Products
Do not apply any makeup or skincare products to the treated area for 24 hours. You may cleanse with a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser and apply aloe vera or alocane to soothe the treatment area.
Heat
Avoid hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms for 24-48 hours.
Pick, Tweeze, or Wax
Let hair naturally fall out in between sessions.
Accepting New Clients
Queen of Swords is always accepting new clients. Currently, there is a two-month waitlist to begin electrolysis services. Complimentary consultations are available through our booking link, which is required before booking your sessions to ensure you are a good candidate for electrolysis.
