I just had my first electrolysis appointment yesterday for hirsutism on my chin/neck. My skin was pretty red and I developed white heads shortly after the procedure. I used an ice pack when I got home and I took a Benadryl before bed. Today I have small red bumps (looks similar to acne) were the hairs were removed. My electrologist gave me instructions to use a gentle cleanser the first few days. She also gave me a bottle of wintergreen rubbing alcohol to apply 2-3 times a day as well as aloe vera gel.
I was wondering what everyone uses/ has been told to use for aftercare?
She couldn’t get all the hairs as she wanted to give my skin a break. Is it okay to start using a small Finishing Touch facial electric shaver to keep those hairs short until I decide to go back? I unfortunately have to be in the office 4 days a week so I really don’t want them to show too much.
I am pretty fair skinned so I would like to reduce the redness and avoid scarring as much as possible.
