I’m getting electrolysis on my face about twice/three times a week in half hour sessions. The hair is sparse but thick, black, course and hanging on for dear life on my eyebrows, chin, sides, and neck. I really like my electrologist and I think she’s really good (based on reading the millions of threads on here relating to electrolysis) but my skin is taking a huge beating from the whole thing. Red bumps and little white heads and just overall upset skin. I’ve just starting putting tea tree oil and aloe vera on the areas which I guess helps.
A decent spa in my area gives these Environ Facials, which is the Environ skin care range (based on effective levels of Vitamin A and C) along with the Environ Ionzyme DF machine which uses Iontophoresis which involves the use of an electrical current to facilitate greater penetration of vitamins into the skin, and Sonophoresis which involves the use of sound waves to transport vitamin molecules through the skin.
Can/should I use this Environ DF machine facial combo between my electrolysis appointments in order to ensure proper healing and soothing of the skin and overall perfect skin by the end of all these aggressive electrolysis treatments?
Will the DF machine do anything to disrupt the permanent hair removal process?
Does anyone know much about this DF machine and how well it works?
Is an intensive amount of Vitamin A and C something I should be doing right now alongside my electrolysis appointments?
…And most importantly, can it stimulate hair growth?
