Electrolysis effects on sensitive skin (pics)

Hair Removal Methods Professional Electrolysis
#1

Hello everybody,
I started eletcrolysis on my chin for a few hair due to laser side effects on January. I’m looking for advices on electrol
Since then, I had electrolysis 3 times. The first was the worst, my skin was burnt - I asked to change the electrolyst and everything went fine.
Yet I still have red marks on my chin - I’ve read many times that usually this marks go away within hours or a few days. Is it because my skin must be sensitive ? Is it the method that doesn’t suit me (my electrolyst uses a method combining electrolysis and thermolysis) ? Will these marks go away ?

Here are a few pictures from my last appointment - it was the best (less marks, less redness).

the morning after the appointment - pic 1
3 days after the treatment - pic2
a week after - pic 3

Please note that some of the marks are from the first appointment 2 months ago.

Thanks for your help !!

Have you tried more than one electrologist? As each works differently you may see different results if treated with someone else.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that does look a little rough for chin work.Blowing up the pictures as much as I can,even with the low resolution of the pictures I can see visible pustules on almost every insertion.This is undesireable.

These marks should go away given enough time. I cant tell what it will do in the future, if too much thermolysis was used below sometimes the effects arent known until months later.
I dont think the problem is the modulation ( in this case it sounds like she use blend) but maybe intensities are too high . Did you see her open the probe? Did she open a sealed tweezers in front of you?

Can I ask what you are doing for aftertreatment? The good news is this look s like it’s healing nicely so you may be doing the right things already regarding aftercare.

Hi Jusa,
I find sometimes that post treatment pictures look worse than reality and I find difficult in your case to say, if it is “normal” skin reaction. You seam to be healing well. That lasting redness is deeper dermal healing that takes a lot longer to heal than the initial “emergency repairs” that the skin does on the surface. It can take up to 18 months for it to clear.
You can help the healing process in a number of ways - keeping the skin clean and dry, applying aloe vera mixed with tea tree oil in the first 48 hours is my personal favorite to prevent infection. Following that rosehip oil as night oil is amazing. Also diet - sufficient fruit, water, veg and quality meat and fish, and plenty of sleep improve your body’s healing ability.
Please discuss with your electrologist in a calm and curious way what method she is using and why she believes that’s best for you, share your fears and give her a chance to work within your comfort zone.

Do let your electrolysis know they don’t want to scare you and can hopefully reassure you the ones around my nipples can be there for a month only tiny pin ones though sometimes the ones on my chin are their for a week no more though but I have themolysis, I think from other peoples pics galvic and blend can leave more marks? so may take longer to heal but are suppose to have a higher kill rate. Only going by what I have read I think I am happy with how things are going myself but I have no choice to have themolysis its very rare to get anything else the nearest person to do blend for me was 2 hours away and couldn’t see anyone doing galvic perhaps in London? but I’m up north.

Hey everyone, thanks for your answers.
For healing i’m using a cream called Cicalfate, recommended by me electrologist.
Unfortunately I live in France and electrologists are pretty rare… Even in Paris ! I did not get a chance to try with someone else then.
About the oils recommended, shall I use them pure ?
Thanks for your advice !!

Hi Jusa,
Sorry for long delay, but I was away.
The rosehip oil you use pure, just massage it in your skin at night. Tea tree oil mix with aloe vera.
Hope things are improving for you.
