Waxing is generally safe, but there are certain contraindications to consider:

1. Sunburned or Irritated Skin: Waxing can exacerbate irritation. Wait until the skin has healed.

2. Recent Chemical Peels: Avoid waxing if you've had a chemical peel in the last 7 days.

3. Recent Laser Treatments: Post-laser, wait at least two weeks before waxing.

4. Accutane or Retinoid Use: Users of these medications should refrain from waxing due to skin sensitivity.

5. Cold Sores/Fever Blisters: Active outbreaks increase the risk of infection; wait until they've healed.

6. Pregnancy: Hormonal changes during pregnancy may affect skin sensitivity; consult with your healthcare provider.

7. Recent Facial Surgery: Wait until your surgeon gives the green light.

8. Skin Infections or Disorders: Conditions like eczema or psoriasis may be aggravated by waxing.

Always inform your esthetician of any medical conditions or concerns to ensure a safe and effective waxing experience.

*FOR BRAZILIANS*

11. Avoid sexual activity: The pubic area can be more sensitive and is more susceptible to irritation. Because the skin is more vulnerable right after waxing, the risk of bacteria and infection is significantly increased. Wait at least 24-48 hours before engaging in sexual activity.
