Hi girls, any tips for a virgin electrolysis patient? It was scheduled quickly and I pray my lidocaine prescription is filled in time.
Starting on the most sensitive spot, the upper lip!

Hi Jessica,
Bad outcomes for electrolysis can be permanent pockmarks or pits. Also a potentially permanent marks called rust stains.
I would imagine your operator has a good reputation. After each session there is some trauma involving swelling and an effect that looks like numerous small mosuito bites. A day or 2 sees the trauma gone mostly.
Some people like me have coarse beard hair and the removal of the hairs and roots can cause a mini bleed that is below the skin surface. These rust stains can cause spots like freckles that are like a mini tattoo. Even though I had stubborn whiskers the operator was careful to prevent rust stains(successful).
I also kept an eye out for scabs that healed badly causing acne style pockmarks - you may have heard of this from second rate operators. This was also closely watched by the operator.
Once you've had a couple of sessions and bounced back from the trauma(mild). You will find it a breeze. The operator will probably recommend a soothing balm and regular exfoliation, use sunscreen and normal moisturizing routine.
Watching the stubble dissspear brings much satisfaction.
Wishing you a very smooth and hair free future! ,
