Considering electrolysis during GLP-1 treatment? Take these questions to your consultation.
1. Will it treat my hair color?
The American Academy of Dermatology says electrolysis works on light-colored hairs that lasers cannot remove. Several sessions are needed because hairs grow in cycles. [1]
2. What schedule fits this area?
Cleveland Clinic says treatment length varies with the area and hair type. Ask for a visit estimate and total cost, rather than assuming one appointment will finish the job. [2]
3. Who will perform it?
AAD recommends a board-certified dermatologist or electrologist. It warns that unsterile probes can transmit infection; inexperienced treatment can burn or scar skin. Discuss your scarring history. [1]
4. How are credentials and equipment checked?
Cleveland Clinic notes that state licensing requirements differ. Ask about current qualifications and cleaning, sterilization and disposable equipment. [2]
5. What should wait afterward?
Cleveland Clinic advises avoiding makeup, sweating and sun exposure for the first 24 hours. Request instructions for your treated area and plans. [2]
