Please read the following information.
Waxing is a form of temporary hair removal that removes the hair from the follicle, or root.
Waxing may have some side effects including, but not limited to: redness, scabbing, bruising, swelling, tenderness, hyperpigmentation, bumps, breakouts, ingrown hairs, and other histamine reactions. *These reactions are rare, but do happen on occasion. They may be exacerbated by the use of certain medications, particularly those used for anti-aging and anti-acne treatments. Examples of these are: retinoid, retin-a, renova, accutane, and alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), like glycolic acid. Face waxing should be avoided when using these products.
Clients who are receiving aesthetic and dermatological peeling treatments may also experience extra redness and/or lifting of the skin from waxing, and therefore should avoid waxing while undergoing these treatments.
Because the fields of pharmacology and dermatology are continuously changing and expanding, there may be products and drugs that cause negative reactions to waxing that have yet to be documented.
