Why Is Curly or Coarse Hair a Problem?

Curly hair is more likely to become ingrown or cause raised bumps on your skin, while coarse hair can get trapped underneath the skin. Using temporary methods like depilatories, shaving, or tweezing to manage these issues can often make them worse, leading to scarring or discolouration. These methods are tough on your skin and can exacerbate the problem.

Who Has Curly, Wavy, or Coarse Hair?

If you have darker skin, you’re more likely to have curly, wavy, or coarse facial or body hair, although this hair type can appear on any skin tone. It’s also important to note that even straight hair can become ingrown.

What Does Electrolysis Do About It?

Electrolysis safely and permanently removes ingrown hairs, as well as curly and coarse hairs that tend to damage your skin. Unlike tweezing and other temporary hair removal methods, electrolysis prevents the issues that often arise from these approaches, such as scarring, irritation, or discoloration.

Since I Have This Type of Hair, Are There Any Special Side Effects I Need to Consider?

No. Electrolysis has proven to be a safe and effective procedure for all skin tones and types of hair, including curly, coarse, or ingrown hairs. Your electrologist will explain the treatment process in detail and address any specific concerns or questions you may have about the procedure.
