Your skin will be somewhat red for a short time after an electrolysis treatment, but usually no longer than an hour. We will apply a soothing gel to the treated area right after the electrolysis treatment. It is necessary that you keep the treated area clean after your electrolysis treatment and perhaps apply an antibiotic ointment. Your skin should feel silky smooth after your electrolysis treatment, since the hairs slide out with tweezers during the electrolysis treatment.
