Ive been putting off electrolysis on my female goatee for a while now. I work in an image based profession and I was scared how my skin would react. I researched and found there is only one electrologist in my city that seems any good. I went to him yesterday and did only 15 min on my chin to see how my skin would react. I followed after care, did not touch my chin and applied neosporin last night with very clean hands. Today it looks like Im having a breakout on my chin with lots of scabs:/ I want the hair gone, but I'm discouraged if this is how I look after only about a dozen hairs being zapped. Is the electrologist no good or is it my skin? I'm worried I'm going to have to drive 4 hours to LA for treatment:/

Hi, I think it's normal reaction, remember, electrolysis do injury skin, but your skin should heal, scabs are normal, they will go away if u don't touch or scratch! Also it's hard to see on picture,I didn't had breakout , u need to see how it's heal, if it's heals completely then it's good, also I would be concern about sunscreen because it's face and when u have scabs - no good on sun!!!!! ( or any wound) Something you should ask doctor or proffecional

I have been having electrolysis on my chin for just over a year now. I experienced quite bad skin reactions after treatments for a while (the breakouts would last up to four days). My skin has gotten used to the treatment though and I now have almost no skin reaction other than a bit of redness which lasts a couple of hours after treatment. Drinking lots of water the day before treatment seems to help a bit, and putting an ice pack on the treated area helps to reduce any swelling. I have seen a massive improvement in my hair growth after going for regular treatments (2 - 4 x 45 minute treatments per month). It's all worth it when you start seeing the results - changed my life :-)
Thank you for sharing your Electrolysis journey with us. I reached out to the doctors on the site on your behalf to see if the breakout after treatment is normal.
