Electrolysis is generally safe, but there are some risks to be aware of:
Skin irritation: You might experience redness, swelling, or minor discomfort in the treated area, which usually subsides quickly.
Pain: Some discomfort may be experienced during the procedure.
Redness and swelling: After treatment, your skin might be red, swollen, and tender, but these effects are temporary.
Pigmentation changes: Temporary changes in skin pigmentation may occur, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones.
Blisters: Small, fluid-filled bumps can appear on the skin for up to 48 hours. Avoid scratching or scrubbing the area until they heal.
Break-outs: Occasional break-outs may occur following the treatment.
These issues are usually manageable with proper care, and adhering to post-treatment instructions can help reduce the likelihood of complications.
