There are a variety of products you can use in conjunction with electrolysis to make your sessions more comfortable. Aside from ensuring you are well-hydrated, eating before your session and possibly even taking a pain-killer like Advil or Tylenol beforehand, we offer some recommended creams and lotions that compliment your treatments. Here is one:

ZENSA:

Zensa is a topical anaesthetic formulated with 5% lidocaine that you can apply to your skin before your appointment. It lasts for 2-3 hours and can be safely reapplied to extend the numbing sensation if you have any discomfort during or after your treatment. Its pH formulation is safe to use on the most sensitive of areas like the upper lip or bikini area. Zensa is formulated with Vitamin E, which acts as an anti-inflammatory to boost the healing process. And, for an added bonus, Zensa is a steroid-free vegan product!

Zensa is easy to use — just apply a thin layer on clean skin, a about a millimeter thick and cover the area to seal the edges. This can be a bit tricky depending on where you’re getting your treatment done, but cling wrap and medical tape do the trick nicely. Apply it 20-30 minutes before your hair removal appointment for best results. I will remove bit by bit to ensure it will remain active while in treatment.
