Electrolysis - Are red dots normal?

i get them every time i go as well. my electrologist said it was because my skin is thin and sensitive. when she turns down the juice (voltage, or however the machine works), the dots are less noticeable. also, the procedure itself is more tolerable that way. the only drawback is that it will probably take longer to see results. your choice, dots and discomfort for faster results, or less dots and more comfort over an extended period of time. this hasnt happened to any of my friends, looks like you and i are the odd ones out. it takes me from 3-5 days for them to disappear.
