Most Frequently Asked Questions: Does Electrology Always Work? This question is usually asked when patients see hair appearing in the treated area. Hair that appears in the area is not necessarily hair growing from a treated follicle. Most, in fact, will grow from untreated follicles. If the hair appears in six weeks or less, you can be sure that it is from a follicle that was previously dormant. Seven to eight weeks would be required for a hair to grow from the treated follicle. Can Electrology Be Harmful or Cause Scarring? Under normal conditions, there are no harmful effects from electrology treatment. Most undesirable aftereffects are caused by the patient. Scratching, picking, or using heavy makeup, and of course general uncleanliness, can cause problems. Caution should be taken with diabetics and patients prone to keloids. To avoid harming the patient, the electrologist should not treat areas inside the nose or ears, or wherever there are skin irritations, until the patient has been examined by a physician. Can Hair Be Removed From a Mole? The electrologist should check insurance coverage and state regulations before treating a mole. A physician's permission should also be obtained to protect the health of the patient. These precautions are presently necessary because treating moles is still controversial. There is no recorded damage due to treatment of a mole, and many insurance companies now cover this treatment.
