Common side effects include, but are not limited to, redness, stinging and slight irritation.

If you have any medical conditions that might affect your skin (i.e. diabetes) or are taking any medications (such as Accutane), check with your health care provider before waxing.

Taking an over the counter anti-inflammatory one hour prior to your appointment will help minimize any redness or inflammation.

Avoid waxing 3 to 4 days before and after your menstrual period. You are likely to experience increased sensitivity or discomfort during this time.

Refrain from shaving for at least 3 to 4 weeks prior to your waxing appointment.

Caffeine increases skin sensitivities. We recommend avoiding caffeine the day of your waxing appointment.
