I don’t think you have anything to worry about. If there are several hairs in one given area there is more of a chance that you will see this reaction. Be patient. Your hairs also appear to be a bit on the deep seeded side, meaning they are on the coarse side. If this is the case, your new electrologist is going to have to insert the filament (needle) deeper down the hair shaft, and this will automatically cause the entire walls of the hair follicle to receive more heat, causing the red blemishes and even scabbing after a couple of days. Don’t be alarmed this is all part of the process. The only thing that might alleviate your face from reacting, is if your electrologist didn’t concentrate on removing every hair that’s in a cluster . This may tend to make your face appear red and cause more blemishes. You may want to ask your electrologist if they can thin the area of the hair which is being treated, and move around every few minute to give it a moment to calm down and come back to it. Also avoid touching the treated area with hands. I highly recommend using baking soda and water. Make a poultice using very little water (paste). Allow it to dry. Or use hydrogen peroxide. 3% 10 volume which is basically the same thing as using the baking soda but in liquid form over the next few days. Wash off the baking soda paste and repeat a couple of times. You may also use a medicated ointment the following day if you like. After treatment avoid creams on the treated area for 24 hours. Only use the baking soda and water or hydrogen peroxide… Also very importantly PLEASE DO NOT PREMATURELY PICK OFF THE SCABS. This will cause scarring. The scabs have a purpose to protect your treated area from getting infected. Most of all remember to be kind to yourself.
