I was just wondering is it possible that some people are not suited to electrolysis (i.e allergic to electrolysis)?
I have has two themolysis treatments on chin and neck and ended up with very bad skin reaction.
I am now thinking of going for blend. Does this give less skin reaction? Or is just that i am not suited to electrolysis as i have senstive skin.
I would really appreciate some advice.
Of course, all the “über-meisters” here on HT will want elucidation of “bad skin reaction.” So, please “s’plain!”
Could the forthcoming answers be any more predictable? My guess is …
By bad skin reaction i mean big and i mean very big and noticeable scabs (i think thrid degree burns)on the first session with whiteheads appearing a afew days later. second treatment i had no scabs but i suffered from Folliculitis. hope that helps.
Are you sure you’re not allergic to bad electrologists instead? (joking, sort of)
You mention folliculitis, were appropriate hygiene precautions taken on both sides? (Yours and the practitioners.)
SCABS! That’s not an allergy. Facial scabbing is only a bit acceptable with gigantic beard hairs … not for typical female hair. Even with beards, scabbing is somewhat unusual. It’s not the method in this case. Photos would be nice.
Hmmm when my face was done i had a little scab in for each of the hairs. Now i have pigmentation in most of those same areas. Haven’t had the courage to return. Not enough pros like you out here Michael.
Nice to say … just not really all that true.
Nasty scabbing is not the norm.
(Am I really talking about scabs … OYE!)
If we’re speaking “allergy” - some people seem to have a pronounced sensitivitiy to histamines. If these aroe doing electrolysis, it may result in pronounced swelling of the treated area, longer visible healing time, and more visible redness. I.e.,an enhanced response of the immune system. Other aspects of the healing (scarfs, white pimples and the like) are usually not noticeably affected by this effect. (Btw, people with pronounced sensitivity might think of applying anti-allergic drugs if they want to reduce these side effects.)
BTGW: when are scabs nasty?
“Nasty” scabs … oh, that’s EASY!
“Nasty scabs” are the ones on you … the “okay” ones are on someone else!
