well for the longest time, when i shaved it, it would look very smooth for a day or two and i would shave it once a week. for the most its not as thick as other mens so it already looks hairless when i sahve. but over the last two years or so, ive been noticing a slight shadow even after i shave and i hate it. it makes me look like i still have a mustache.
hello there!
i’ve been treated by cosmetician with electrolysis on my eyebrows(below eyebrows) and she made a horrible job (this was 8th time of treating this area with this metod,and nothing ever happend like this before!)now i’m left with scars! they are not deep (less then a mm, but they are also pigmentated!)please help!! i dont know what to do! the electrolyisis was made about 5 weeks ago and now the treated area looks like this -> http://i39.tinypic.com/2d8o07r.jpg
i’ve been trying to remove it with contractubex gel, but i can’t see any improvement!i feel miserable!! i can’t live with that all my life!! :(( please tell me what to do!! i will do anything to remove them!! dermoabrasion? laser treatment? anything!!! give me advice!!! :(( i’m losing my mind!
p.s. my dermatologist said that it will disappear but i’m scared that it wont!
p.s.s. sorry for my english!
Hi Ivmi,
What you have done is unforgivable and I think someone should pay for it.
In the hands of what butcher / a has you?
These are the people who have given bad name to the Electrolysis.
Become a favor to itself and does not return to that site anymore.
But you should know that when that happens a year from slaughter, you will not see those scars improved. I assure you it will improve. Not disappear entirely, but when one years have passed, most will not be. Heed your dermatologist and Apply what he has recommended.
Injuries recover the color that has the rest of your skin, leaving only some depressions in the largest.
Over the coming months to avoid any exposure to the sun.
Carry sunglasses that protect you and Apply cream with physical screen.
It will heal, but the person doing the work was having some serious blow-outs and did not seem to be able to adjust well to avoid the reoccurance of that negative result during the balance of the treatment.
really?? it will heal? oh my god! you guys make my day!! so what do you recomand to apply? i was reading on the net that the oil of Rosa rubiginosa is the best from nature for those problems (small scars, wrinkles…), same is written for shea butter…what do you think?
@ded- forget about my dermatologist, he didn’t even want to look at it! he didn’t recomand me anything! it is me who is searching everywhere for something that will help to my poor damaged skin!so if I don’t find anything that helps, no one will do it instead!so if you know for some product that may help…
ded! one more question! you said “Injuries recover the color that has the rest of your skin, leaving only some depressions in the largest.” did you meant that smaller depressions will also move or depressions that i can see now will stay only pigmentation will go away? if any of these depressions disapeare i must do something with them! it is horrible to have holes above your eye! :(( can i “iron” them somehow? like i said above…with dermoabrasion or something?
P.S. thank you for fast answers!!
Shea Butter is great, so is Aloe Vera. Make sure you get real aloe vera that needs to be refrigerated, or just break off a piece of a real plant, if you have one.
Your dermatologist may prescribe a master formula that includes retinoic acid at low concentration, is indicated in cases of acne lesions. Help accelerate the recovery of the skin, but you have to endure some side effects, such as scaling.
Other substance could be the glycolic acid is very effective and whitens the skin quickly without these side effects.
Ivmi, this is the aspect that should be after a week of Electrolysis with Picoflash (termolysis fast).

Ded10 are all the pictures from the clients you’ve treated??
Yes Rome, are pictures of some of the thousands that I have attempted throughout the 29 years I have been involved in this exciting adventure.
oh my god!after my electrolysis I’ve been swollen for 3 days. When I said “swollen” I mean that I couldn’t open my eyes for 2 days and third day I finally opened my eyes a little!!
ok! news from me! my new dermatologist prescribe me Linola Fett creme (it is concentration of unsaturated fatty acid) and it should fill those little depressions i have. She said I should apply it for about 3 months, and then if there would still be some pigmentation, i would get another creme which will bleach those spots.(but that would be after the summer) It sounds great to me, i hope that it will be just like that in reality!!
what do you think is it possible to fill those depression like she said? it is my greatest concern! i always knew that pigmentation is not a big problem(because there is a lot of treatments and cremes that safely remove it)
I would let all this heal naturally. Use makeup to conceal this as much as possible. It will heal from the bottom up like all wounds. How long will it take? Several months.
Regarding the he so-called electrologist that screwed up your eyebrows, do you know about her training background. Are there accredited programs and testing in your locale? She is unfit to practice and I do hope you showed her this, complained and got your money back. If anyone has a harsh treatment like this, they should complain the FIRST time and not continue to be assaulted (treated) again and again!!! Healing is an important clue!
ELECTROLYSIS DID NOT DO THIS TO YOU. A PERSON WITH INADEQUATE TRAINING AND NO COMMON SENSE WHO ACTUALLY GETS PAID FOR DOING ELECTROLYSIS DID THIS TO YOU.
Pamper this along. Be careful if you insist on using healing agents around your eyes. Cold Aloe Vera would be simple and cheap.

@dfahey
no, I don’t know anything about her training background! in my town she is known as a great cosmetician, and she has a reputation. Despite all this, si did this horrible failure. And now i’m left to my own, trying to remove those scars. I’m writing to you guys, to some dermatologist and searching for advices. I don’t have courage to let it heal by itself, i’m really really scared that the depressions won’t disappear if i don’t treat it whit something.
don’t know…i’m very sad, i’m only 21 and I can’t even think about having those depressions above my eyes for the rest of my life. 
i feel so ugly with it
Ivmi, this cream (Linola) seems harmless. Leave me a couple of days to consult with an expert about their ingredients.If you can apply in babies, is not dangerous.
Ivmi, I personally would stick with someone that does electrolysis all day long , and nothing else. Based on my experience when I visited estheticians that do electrolysis on the side I never got good treatments. So just because she is a great cosmetician doesn’t mean she is a good electrologist. The best thing you can do is give it time, your skin will heal on its own. I don’t think it looks that bad from the picture.
I would tend to agree with Roma18 on this one. Not to say that it is not possible to be good at cosmetology AND electrolysis, but typically, one is either one, or the other. You would not want me to do your perm, because the amount of time that I spend & have spent on that pales in comparison to the amount of time I have placed in my electrolysis abilities. As a mechanic told me, “I work on engines all day, everyday, but I see so few Mercedes products, that I just don’t trust myself to work on one.”
I would hazard to say that in most cases, anyone who is really good at electrolysis would not have much time for doing other things. After all, statistically speaking, 9 out of 10 people have some hair, some place that they want to be rid of. One needs only to get people who want the hair gone to know that you can do it, and that the service is worth the money they would pay to have it done.
Ded, I don’t know how to thank you!!! I would like to hear second opinion!especially if he is an expert! maybe he would recommend something better , something more effective…?
I really want those depressions disappear!
@ roma18 and james
well, i would go to someone who is an electrologist, and only electrologist…if there would be one!here, in my region, only three cosmeticians are doing electrolysis…and this one did it ok, till now! (like I said- i was going to her for the electrolysis treatments 8 times before this happened) the thing is (for this last time)that she bought a new machine which is stronger than old one, and although she adjust it on the lowest level, it burned my skin…we had a problem with old machine -it didn’t made side effects, but it also didn’t remove unwanted hair! so the new one successfully removed hair, and successfully made scars!
This is the sad state of affairs for electrolysis care across the world. There are not enough well-trained practitioners in all locations. The beauticians or cosmeticians just don’t know how to do this, especially when they have their hands all over the place doing other “beauty” care.
I really, really hope you showed this person what she did. Hopefully, she will put down the probe on paying people. She should practice on her family members before she touches another customer.
I am one that thinks that expensive and varied medicants offer no cure that Mother Nature and time can’t provide. It will most likely heal. The only thing I would suggest you use is 100% aloe vera (cold) as generously as you can on this area for as long as necessary. Buy an aloe plant and snip a piece and apply the aloe this way. It’s hard because you don’t want to get anything in your eyes.
I do eyebrows almost everyday. There are not side effects. THe area reverts back to normal within minutes to hours. NO scabbing, no weeping follicles, no depressions. I am not rare. Many electrologists have this kind of outcome when they work on clients. Electrolysis is wonderful and the healing outcome I described is the norm.
Anybody reading ivmi’s story should know that her outcome is the result of an inept person doing a difficult proceedure without proper training. Electrolysis is, technically speaking, microsurgery, and proper training and common sense is needed. Ivmi’s practitioner should have never used a new epilator on her until she had used it on herself, friends or family members (test rats) first. She didn’t know what she was doing with this new epilator and ivmi paid the price. Get your money back at the very least.
Dee
of course i showed her what she have done to me! she just said that it will heal till the summer ends! yap, she didn’t look concerned at all! and she didn’t give me my money back.
ok…now i really don’t know what to do…i’m treating the area with that creme that dermatologist told me to buy, now you’re telling me to apply aloe vera…so what would be the best option? i guess that applying everything for a week, and then starting with something else will lead me to nothing…till now i tryed out the contractubex gel (for one week), the linola fett creme (today would be 5th day) so if I continue like this i will spend a lot of money, and have those scars for the rest of my life…nothing cant be efficient and give results after one week…so, if you understood my miserable english above…you’ll notice that I’m trying to find something that will not only spend my money and time after few months applying, i need something that works 100%…would it be aloe vera?
