I am a competitive lifter. I was curious how long one should wait to exercise post-treatment?
The only issue with exercise post treatment is sweat and dirt contacting the treatment area. This could cause salt and bacteria induced scabs, pigmentation, or infection.
Those clients who follow my recommendation to use Tea Tree Oil overnight and Aloe Vera during the day are good to work out and swim in an average of 24 hours post treatment. Others may require 3 days or more.
I lift/box 5 times a week…I usually have a treatment on a Thursday and Wong train again until Sunday morning…I use tea tree oil and aloe Vera gel for 3 days post treatment… Only thing I will add is that I tend to get a clearance every -0-12 weeks or so so it doesn’t really impact on my training…if your having weekly treatment that may not be the case.
Unfortunately I am have weekly treatments, I will consult with my Electrologist and watch how my skin reacts and heals.
