I don't believe in the thinking that scabs are a positive sign that you had a better treatment. In fact, I will say it is hogwash! I wanted to say a much worse word than hogwash, but no need for being crude to express my insistence that scabbing is not a requirement for disabling a hair follicle. I do everything I can, not scab a persons face because the physical appearance of scabbing can be as bad as having the hair. It scares people and can affect their self-esteem to have a lot of facial scabbing.
If you get a few pin point size scabs, don't obsess about it. It's okay. They will go away naturally. Do not pick them.

Examples of what Pustules look like:    These go away quickly. Dabs of tea tree oil will dissolve these or may prevent them. A warm shower or a warm compress will help them disappear, too. Tell your electrologist if you develop these for further advice or they may want to adjust treatment energy next visit? Better yet, take a picture and show her/him.

I want to thank you guys for posting these pics. It really helps me to know what to look for as 'normal' post treatment effects and to get a feel for possible 'abnormal' effects due to allergic reactions or reactions from treatment. And as long as I'm calm and relaxed about a post treatment effect, my clients have faith in me enough to be relaxed by my 'it's fine, just give it some time and the .... will subside' calm encouraging words.

Can shaving the face ever stimulate hair growth? This is what I've been told recently by my elec.

Electrolysis: 31 hours on chin/neck between 16-09-13-05/05/13. Some reduction but still a way to go.

Hi,
2 weeks ago the area under my nose above my lip has been treated with electrolysis. I had some swelling but that went away. My skin is still red, like in the above picture (except I don't have those "pustules"). The skin has no scabs or dents for a lack of words, the skin just looks red. It are not pinpoint red points but it's spread out over the skin. I use aloe vera but I wonder why and when I can expect the skin colour to return to normal?
