Electrolysis for genuinely permanent removal— laser won’t get you there and is more of a reduction/longer lasting gap in growth cycles. You want to be very careful around scar tissue, as you know, but three months should be okay to start manipulating the skin a little bit more! And… for scar healing— heavy use of silicone scar creams. No silicone? Don’t bother with it. Shaving… yeah, you should be okay! Make sure to cool the skin! Hope you’ve been healing well and enjoying your body more! ❤️

The tweezers for this one absolutely suck, but the probe has worked just as well as other galvanic probes. Being that it is galvanic, though, and not thermolysis, it will require a complete circuit with salt water on the area of skin in contact with the metal plate pictured between probe and tweezers. Usually thumb works just fine but I try to keep it close to where I’m working for better efficiency! :)

I think they may have meant Nair ? But I’m not too sure

I wouldn’t use Nair too close to the scar tissue until maybe 6ish months (that’s just my thoughts), but it shouldn’t be a big issue unless OP has sensitive skin. There are some at-home electrolysis devices! I was professionally trained and have a cheapie that works really well for what it is! I’ll take a pic of it
