What kind of effect does cataphoresis have on the skin post-treatment?

Cataphoresis is a technique used in electrolysis that involves the introduction of substances into the skin using an electric current. The process generally has a soothing effect on the skin post-treatment, helping to calm irritation and redness that may result from hair removal procedures. This is because cataphoresis facilitates the deeper penetration of soothing agents into the skin, thereby promoting healing and reducing inflammation.

The use of this technique often results in enhanced hydration and overall skin comfort, making it highly beneficial for the treatment recovery process. It is particularly effective in soothing the skin after procedures that may cause sensitivity or irritation. This calming property is why cataphoresis is favored in post-treatment care for skin affected by electrolysis.
