Dealing With Side Effects of Waxing

3/3/2019

Waxing Chest
A lot of people prefer waxing when getting rid of unwanted hair since it is safe and costs less. They are also glad that they’ll stay for long before the hair grows back. Despite these benefits, there are multiple side effects that are associated with waxing.
Here are Some of These Side Effects and How You Can Deal With
Pain
The degree of pain varies from person to person where some could suffer from very severe pains. For most people, the pain they feel when waxing decreases as they get used to the process. if you are able to honor all your appointments, you’ll get more accustomed to the process and it will be less painful
Taking a pain-relieving tablet before the waxing process is one way of reducing the level of pain you’ll feel during the process. You can also apply numbing cream on the part being waxed to make the process less painful.
Shaving your hair up to a ¼ inch will also help to make the process more comfortable. If your hair is too long, it will be more difficult to pull out the hair and this will make waxing really painful. If you did not get a chance to trim your hair before coming to the spa, the waxing professional can do this on your behalf at an additional cost.
There are numerous waxing professionals and your choice will also determine how comfortable the process will be. Before confirming your appointment, you can request to get in touch with of one of the past customers. In your conversation, you can ask if he would book another waxing appointment at the spa. If the answer is yes, you can be sure that you’ll get exceptional services.
Bumps
Bumps may also occur after the waxing procedure that could appear reddish. These are not permanent and will go away after a day or two. You’ll hate their appearance as they’ll make your skin less appealing but they will go in no time. As you continue waxing, you will notice fewer bumps after the waxing and in the end, you’ll not have any reaction after the hair removal.
To lessen the number of bumps, you should exfoliate before your waxing appointment. This will open your pores and make it easier to pull off the hair. A waxing professional may also apply a warm compress on your skin to open up your pores which will make the process less painful.
Once you get home after the waxing procedure, you can apply an inflammation reducing cream like Hydrocortisone. With this, the reddening and the swelling will reduce greatly.
Hyperpigmentation
There are people whose skin will get darker or lighter on the parts that have been waxed. Waxing removes the top layer of the skin that is used to direct sunlight and exposes a more sensitive skin. If you expose it to the sun, you may notice a change in your skin color.
Most of these conditions are temporary and will disappear after some time. You can apply concealer to hide the discolored skin until it gets better. If the process does not change, you should seek the help of a medical professional.
Bruises
As the waxing professional works on pulling out the hair, there are instances where the skin could get torn. Here are some of the reasons why the skin may get bruised due to waxing:
  • If your skin is very sensitive
  • If you suffer from health conditions such as diabetes, cancer, AIDS, and phlebitis, among other health complications. If you suffer from these conditions, you should seek directions from your doctor before a waxing procedure. It is also important to notify the waxing professional about this condition before the hair removal.
  • If you are using drugs such as Retin A, selected antibiotics, selected birth control medications or hormone replacement treatment, among others.
  • If you have sunburns as a result of a recent exposure to sunlight.
  • If you recently underwent cosmetic procedures such as Botox or Dermabrasion, waxing that part of the body could lead to bruises.
  • If you suffer from skin complications such as rashes, pimples or you have a wound. You should wait until the skin condition clears to have the hair removed.
Infections
Getting an infection as a result of a waxing procedure is not a normal occurrence. It is an indication that the process was carried out in an unhygienic condition. An infection can also result from excessive irritation of the skin where the skin develops folliculitis.
Before you confirm your appointment, it is important to ensure that the spa observes high standards of hygiene. For instance, make sure that the waxing professional does not double dip wax applicators as this is the main cause of infection.
If you notice an infection after a waxing procedure, seek medical help before the condition gets worse. You should also practice good hygiene on the infected area until the infection clears. The doctor can recommend some antibiotic medications or a cream that you’ll apply on the affected skin.
Ingrown Hair
This is also a common side effect of waxing that is very uncomfortable. When the hair is not removed from the roots but cut, the remaining part may grow into the skin instead of growing outwards.
To prevent ingrown hair, you should exfoliate before waxing so that the skin will give way easily. It is also advisable to exfoliate after the waxing to prevent ingrown hair. Removing the dead skin will ensure that the hair grows in the right direction.
It is evident that you will suffer from waxing side effects during your first appointments. As you continue, the side effects will become less and eventually, you will not have any side effects. Choosing the right spa where the waxing is carried out by a trained person is also another way of avoiding most of these side effects. 
Most of the waxing side effects are minor and will go away in one or two days after the hair removal. You should follow the aftercare guidelines given by the waxing professional to ensure that your skin gets back to normal fast.
