What are some product that will really work to wear after treatment to maybe not have any redness or at least make the redness go away faster? One told me to use ice.
sterex have a tinted cooling gel which reduces the visibilty of redness, this work mostly on the fairer complexion
Healing the skin as fast as possible is the key. This is why we tell people to use Tea Tree Oil overnight, and Aloe Vera Gel (Food Grade) as often as one likes all day long. Additionally, increased intake of Vitamin C, A, E and zinc will heal skin quicker as well.
witch hazel during the day and tea tree oil at night
Witch hazel is great for healing and for cooling.
I know this isn’t the best thing (as it’s not “pure”) but I use a Witch Hazel Gel on my way out of the clinic. (My electrologist uses some Tea Tree Oil when she finishes up).
This really helps cool the area and the redness goes down in about 30mins.
Clients leave my office with a stack of 2X2 cotton squares that have been soaked in witch hazel with a little wintergreen alcohol added. AKA “cool wet thing”. Clients should purchase some for use at home. (75% witch hazel and 25% wintergreen alcohol)
I will say, that since using the 27 mHz epilator, redness from treatments has diminished by at least 75%, so clients are not utilizing the “cool wet thing” very often.
