Antibiotics and Waxing

Just going to review this with everyone since I have had several clients that have never heard this warning before. You should avoid waxing while on antibiotics - both oral and topical. There is a chance of skin sensitivity while on the medication, and skin may "lift". That's a nice way of saying come off in chunks leaving a big, ugly scab.

Wait two weeks after your last dose and by all means, tell your esthetician. No waxing is that important that it can't wait.
And your waxer better be asking you about meds and health updates at every visit, if not, walk out the door.
