Is my bikini area healing properly?

Hair Removal Methods Professional Electrolysis
#1

This is my first tine doing electrolysis. I’m doing my full bikini area and then my underarms.
The first picture is my left side done 6 days ago. Smooth just the redness.
The second picture is my right side done 4 days ago. Some scabbing still and a little bumpy.
Ignore the ingrowns (they are from waxing which is why I’ve elected to go permanent :grin: )
I haven’t put anything on either side.
I tend to have more sensitive skin than most.
Just looking to see if I’m healing well, my electrolysis says yes but I’m just looking for a second opinion. If so, how long should it take for the redness that appears in the first picture to diminish and fade to match my skin tone? I go back tomorrow for 45 minutes.
Thanks so much for any input.

My skin has looked far worse than that after treatments (successful ones) so I would say, yes, you are looking about right.

From my experience you have about another week or two until the area looks good enough to bare, but there might be some lingering pinkinsh tone for a little while after that.

The summer heat causing sweat (salt) in the area isn’t helping you any, and the friction of clothing on the area doesn’t help either, but you look like you are doing ok. Aloe Vera and Tea Tree Oil can help that heal up faster, and any left over red or brown spots will fade in a short time.

James,
Can you tell me what Aloe Vera and Tea Tree Oil I should use and when exactly should I apply them? Could I also use those for my underarms when I start them? (again note I have fairly sensitive skin and have never used tea tree oil). Should I be exfoiliating everyday?
Thanks so much :slight_smile:

Try to find witch hazel from Thayers. It has aloe vera in it as well. It helps a lot with healing.
