Are there any risks or complications of electrolysis?

Electrolysis is very safe. Very slight risks of infection (from an unsterile needle) or scarring exist if the electrolysis is not done correctly. These risks are very low if you choose a certified, professional electrolysis practice. You may have a slight reddening of the skin during or right after treatment. It’s very short-lived. People with lighter skin may have temporary dark spots on their skin. The spots fade over time, so don’t use bleaching cream on them.
