What to Expect at Your First Electrolysis Appointment

Introduction

Stepping into a new treatment can be nerve-wracking, but understanding the process makes all the difference. Your first visit to Allard Studio is primarily about education and planning.

The Consultation

We begin with a confidential consultation to discuss your health history, hair removal goals, and skin type. This ensures that electrolysis is safe for you and allows us to customize settings for your specific needs.

The Patch Test

We typically perform a short "patch test" (about 5-10 minutes) to see how your skin reacts and to let you experience the sensation. Most clients describe it as a quick heat sensation or a tiny pinch.

After the Session

You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions. It's normal to see slight redness or swelling, which usually subsides within an hour or two. We'll also plan your treatment schedule to catch hairs in the active growth phase.
