If you're taking medication and considering waxing, consult your clinician first to ensure it's safe for you. Some medicines can affect your skin's sensitivity, making waxing unsuitable.
Understanding medication and waxing
Certain medications, such as retinoids, blood thinners, and some antibiotics, can increase skin sensitivity or cause adverse reactions during waxing. Always inform your clinician about your waxing plans.
Steps to take before waxing
- Consult your clinician: Discuss your medication and waxing plans to confirm suitability.
- Inform your therapist: Share your medication details during your book your appointment for a full body wax at Luté Beauty Studio.
- Patch test: Request a patch test to check for adverse reactions.
Practical takeaway
Before scheduling your waxing session, consult your clinician and inform your therapist about any medications you're taking. This ensures a safe and comfortable experience.
When to avoid waxing
Avoid waxing if your clinician advises against it or if you experience skin irritation, redness, or sensitivity after starting a new medication.
