What should clients avoid after an electrolysis session according to aftercare guidelines?

After an electrolysis session, clients are advised to avoid sun exposure as part of the aftercare guidelines. This recommendation is crucial because the skin may be sensitive, inflamed, or slightly damaged following the procedure. Exposure to sunlight can lead to increased irritation, a higher risk of skin discoloration, and complications like sunburn, which can further exacerbate any post-treatment redness or swelling. Protecting the treated area from the sun ensures a safer healing process and helps achieve better results in hair removal without adverse effects.

In contrast, hydration, gentle cleansing, and moisturizing creams are typically encouraged to promote healing and comfort following the treatment, provided they are used carefully and appropriately.
