Hello Everyone!
I’ve been doing the electrolysis (exactly thermolysis, flash method) for past 3 months. First with 1 specialist but she was extremely slow. Now I found the second one, much faster but I am really worried about post treatment effects. My skin is red, burned, scabbed. I do those sessions every 2 weeks and I really had no time to see if my skin comes back to normal because over this time my skin stays red… I am really worried it will not come back to normal colorit and I will have to use chemical peelings to get rid of those hyperpigmentation. After sessions with the first electolorist my skin was only red for 1 hour and then a little bit swollen for 1 day. The day after my skin was back to normal. With second electolosist I am always red and scabbed. She tells me that every patient had the same side effects as I have right now and it’s nothing unusual.
Both of them were ussing the same method - Flash and “Apilus” machines. Apilus Junior 3G (1st one) and Aplius Cleo (2nd specialist). Same method but very different side effects on my skin.
I have no idea if I should stay with current specialist. She does my whole face (upper lip, chin, neck) in 3 hours. It seems way too quick. Maybe that’s why I am always burnt… First specialist had time for only my upper lip and a little bit of chin in 2 hours but after that I had no skin scarring.
I have no idea if I am overreacting and those sideeffects are normal to If my currect specialist is going too fast and hurting my skin and changing the colorit of it for life.
I attach photos of my face 2 days after the treatment and 1 week later. Face is still really red, the scabs starts to fall off but redness still stays (maybe little bit brighter) + when I put makeup on I can see this “orange peel” skin effect. Little dots on my upper lip and whole chin. Is it normal? Will it come back to normal texture after few month since I stop doing the treatments?
Waiting for any of your feedback.
