Hi,

I just had my first electrolysis session, thermolysis, on my cheek. Is this a normal reaction approx three hours post session? Are there any tips to help calm down the bumps etc?

Thanks

Looks normal to me but I’m not a professional. It should calm down after a day.

It’s a histamine reaction, which is a normal part of the healing process and should resolve within a day, sometimes two, after treatment. I think the level of your histamine reaction is a bit dramatic given the typical hairs in this location and the amount of energy required to treat. It could also be that you naturally have a higher histamine response regardless of treatment strength.

Either way, there is nothing concerning here.
