What causes dimpling during a procedure?

Dimpling during a procedure, particularly in the context of electrolysis and laser treatments, is often caused by improper insertion. This occurs when the needle or laser probe is not correctly positioned within the hair follicle. If the insertion is too shallow, it can lead to inadequate targeting of the hair or the surrounding tissue, which may result in a dimpled appearance in the skin. This improper technique disrupts the hair removal process and can also affect the skin's appearance, leading to temporary indentations.

While other factors such as technique, solution preparation, and client positioning can contribute to treatment issues, the specific mechanics of insertion directly impact the efficacy and physical outcome of the procedure. Proper insertion ensures that the treatment reaches the target effectively, minimizing side effects like dimpling.
