Cautions
Waxing, like all beauty treatments, has contra-indications that can restrict or prevent treatment.
Contra-Indications That Prevent Treatment
- Contagious skin condition Wait for the condition to clear before waxing.
- Thin or fragile skin Can cause bruising and tearing of the skin which may lead to infection.
- Use of steroid medication The use of steroid creams or medication can cause a thinning of the skin. Waxing should not be done whilst using such medication, and not until three months after completing the treatment.
- Roaccutane This treatment for severe acne can cause extreme dryness in the skin which often leads to thin or fragile skin. Wait at least 6 months from completing the course before waxing, longer if the skin is still fragile
- Allergies As with all topical products / treatments those with allergies to the ingredients should not proceed with the treatment.
Contra-Indications That Restrict Treatment
- Raised moles and skin tags Wax should not be applied directly over them.
- Abrasions, bites, broken skin, bruises Avoid waxing the affected area until completely healed
- Varicose veins Do not wax over the affected area
