Who is not a good candidate for waxing?
• Some physicians do not recommend waxing for persons suffering from diabetes or who have varicose veins or poor circulation as they are more susceptible to infection. • Users of Retin-A, Renova, Differin or Isotretinoin are advised not to have waxing performed as these medications tend to weaken the skin and tearing of the skin may occur when the wax is removed. • Waxing should not be done on areas of skin affected by warts, pimples, moles or rashes or on skin that is irritated, chapped or suffering from sunburn. Never apply wax to peeling, broken skin or varicose veins.
