Waxing & Sugaring FAQ

These medications increase the rate at which your skin exfoliates so waxing could potentially remove skin as well as hair. Please let your esthetician know immediately if you are on any medications. Also be aware that chemical peels, laser, and micro-dermabrasion can also affect skin integrity.

There are many medications that affect skin and skin integrity (glycolic acid, lactic acid, benzyl peroxide, salicylic acid, alpha hydroxyl acid, vitamin A, prescribed exfoliating scrubs, antibiotics, hormonal medications, radiation and/or chemotherapy drugs). Please consult with your physician in regards to any medications and how it may affect your waxing experience. Some brand names to be aware of: Adapalene, Avita, Tazorac Avage, Proactiv(e), Differin, Strivectin. We would never encourage a client to not take thier prescribed medication.

Whether you’re waxing in the Charlotte, NC area or beyond, there are definitely signs you can be on the lookout for! Providers should be licensed and specialists in skin care.

Sure, we can absolutely wax you if it’s that time of the month. But … just be aware that the area is more sensitive and you may experience more discomfort than usual.

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but you can expect a short, stinging sensation after the strip is pulled. If you are worried about being sensitive, taking an ibuprofen or aspirin about 30 minutes before your appointment should minimize your discomfort (consult with your physician before taking medications). Continuous waxing causes finer and less hair therefore waxing becomes less painful.
