Yes. Electrolysis works on individual follicles, making it effective for sebaceous hyperplasia lesions and hormone-related hair growth. Multiple treatments and a tailored plan are often recommended for optimal outcomes.

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or small scabs. Rare risks include pigment changes or infection if aftercare is neglected. An experienced practitioner and proper care minimize complications.
