Mild redness, swelling, and tiny bumps are common for a few hours after waxing. Use cool compresses and gentle moisturizers. If you experience prolonged irritation, blistering, or signs of infection, contact us so we can assess and provide appropriate care.

Many clients with sensitivity can be safely waxed after consultation. We review medications and conditions, perform a patch test if needed, and may recommend alternative hair removal methods for active acne, dermatitis, or recent chemical peels to avoid complications.
