WAXING WHILE MEDICATED...



Waxing should never be done on a client that is taking accutane, and it is not recommended for those using Retin A, Differin, Renova, or any other types of acne medications (topical or indigestible), as these medications are known to thin the skin and cause irritation. Your skin can literally be torn during waxing, and the rate at which your skin repairs itself is retarded while on certain acne medications. The wisest course would be to refrain from waxing at all until you are no longer on these medications.
