Worried about scarring and scabbing!

Hi!

I am South Asian and had electrolysis on my cheek, and now have quite a bit of scabbing. Attached is a picture 1 day after the electrolysis session. Should I be worried? Will it heal or scar?
Thanks!

Scabs are larger than any of us would like to see. However, your treatment was in an area that almost always does not form post-treatment scars. Were I to see this much scabbing on the upper lip, however, I would have more concern. Your scabs are not contiguous … and, that’s another good sign. Over-all I think this will resolve nicely.

Thank you for your response!

I agree with Mike and couldn’t have said it better. Please discuss this with your electrologist so she/he can change the recipe. No more treatments until this heals completely. Is this person trained that did electrolysis on you? It doesn’t look like professional work.
