Hair Removal
The fastest way to remove hair temporarily. With regular visits, regrowth comes in thinner and slower, so the time between appointments gets longer.
Please check this list first
These conditions will not necessarily stop your service, but they may mean it needs to be restricted or adapted. Talk with our team, and with your doctor, if you have any questions or concerns.
Isotretinoin (Accutane)
Skip waxing for the full course of treatment and for 6 to 12 months after you stop. It leaves skin fragile and prone to tearing.
Topical retinoids
Skip waxing if you use Retin A, tretinoin, adapalene, or a similar prescription vitamin A treatment. These thin and sensitize the skin.
Exfoliating acids
We cannot wax over an area recently treated with an AHA, a BHA, or a glycolic or salicylic acid peel.
Broken or damaged skin
We avoid open cuts, fresh scabs, recent surgical scars, and severe sunburn.
Active infections or outbreaks
Skip waxing over an active cold sore, impetigo, or an inflamed breakout.
Resurfacing treatments
Wait at least 30 days after a laser treatment, microneedling, or a professional chemical peel.
Injectables
Wait 14 days after Botox, Dysport, or a filler before a facial wax.
Antibiotics
Some antibiotics increase skin sensitivity. Tell us what you are taking when you book.
