One side effect that can occur is hives however, this can easily be avoided by taking a antihistamine. This occurs because the body releases a chemical which signals to the body that there's an intruder or something that is unwanted, but subsides throughout the day.
Yes, you may be sensitive during pregnancy because the body is producing extra blood and fluids to support the growing baby. However, I am very experience in pregnancy waxing and there's no evidence to say that waxing is unsafe during pregnancy.
No. It may cause you to not be able to properly feel the heat from the wax on your skin, which can cause burns if not heated correctly. If used large amounts of numbing cream on your skin for extended periods of time, the active ingredient may be absorbed into your bloodstream. This can cause complications side effects, such as irregular heartbeat, seizures, difficulty breathing.
No! Waxing will cause irritation and harm already sunburned skin, leading to more discomfort and the possibility of pulling skin off which then leads to scarring. It is prudent to wait until the sunburn has completely healed before scheduling a waxing session.
Nope, there's no age limit on waxing! It is safe for young children who are approaching puberty and it is also safe for those who are over 80, 90 or even 100.
If you are using Accutane, we cannot provide waxing services due to associated risks. We ask that you inform us of any medications you are currently taking, to ensure a safe and satisfactory waxing experience. If we are unsure of side effects of your meds, we may ask for advisement from your doctor/dermatologist.
The heat causes irritation and aggressive pulling of the hair not to mention the stripping of live skins cells as well as dead ones can traumatize your outer layer and increase symptoms of such conditions.
Wait 48 hours before working out to make sure that sweat does not irritate your freshly waxed skin. It's best to wear loose clothing in the days following your waxing appointment to give your skin the opportunity to breathe. This also includes hot showers, fragrances and tanning of any kind.
Only after 6 weeks.
Waxing removes hair at the root, with results that can last up to 4 weeks. Depilatory creams and shaving don't remove the hair at the root. Instead, they make the hair structurally unstable; where exactly the hair breaks under the skin can vary. So, you can expect the hair to regrow faster than it does with waxing.
Yes but only after 6 weeks if your tattoo is new.
Traditional hot wax is applied thick in the direction of the hair growth and pulled off by hand in the opposite direction, suitable for face, bikini and underarms. Film wax is applied in a thin layer, can be used in both directions and is removed by pulling off in the opposite direction to which it was applied. strip wax is applied in the direction of hair growth and removed in the opposite direction. It involves using disposable strips to remove the hair, suitable for larger areas like legs, arms, back, stomach etc.
Acne prone skin can be safely waxed with a few adjustments and TLC. The first thing you'll want to avoid is waxing an area of skin with active acne. These spots are likely to be irritated and a little inflamed — something that we definitely don't want to exacerbate by pulling at the skin with wax.
It is important to avoid any other facial treatments such as facials, waxing or laser treatments for at least two weeks after the procedure. These cosmetic treatments can cause further irritation and inflammation of the skin.
Not for at least 48 hrs. I would recommend waxing before tanning. As with a spray tan, bronzers and fake tans can also irritate sensitive skin post-waxing and the result won't be the one you're looking for.
Waxing is generally not advised for skin that is affected by Eczema or Psoriasis, raised moles, or areas of broken skin. However, I can simply work around it.
If you are waxing we recommend that you discontinue while you are undergoing laser hair removal treatments. Laser hair removal works best with shaving because the laser is targeting the same hair weakening the follicle. Therefore if you pull the hair out, a new hair grows, which would mean you are defeating the purpose of laser treatment.
