If you experience burning, blisters or skin lifting after waxing, stop immediately and seek appropriate care. These signs indicate potential skin damage that requires attention.
What causes wax burns or skin lifting?
Wax burns or skin lifting can occur due to:
- Wax that's too hot
- Sensitive or unprepared skin
- Incorrect waxing technique
Immediate steps to take
If you notice any of these signs:
- Stop waxing immediately
- Cool the area with a clean, cool compress
- Avoid touching or rubbing the affected skin
- Keep the area clean and dry
When to seek professional help
Consult a clinician if you experience:
- Severe pain or swelling
- Blisters larger than a coin
- Signs of infection (redness, warmth, pus)

To minimise risks:
- Choose a reputable salon like Luté Beauty Studio
- Communicate any skin sensitivities before your full body wax
