  • Stop taking and acne medications such as Accutane 2 weeks before your appoinment  

  • Stop using all and any topical retinoids (such as Retin-A, Differin, Renova, Tretinoin, or similar products) 2 weeks prior to appointment

  • Make sure you are using sunblock or sunscreen. You can NOT get waxed if you have an unhealed sunburn.

  • If you do have a sunburn, rash, or any other skin irritations, please cancel your appointment until you have seen a doctor or the area is completely healed.

Brazilian/ Full Body Waxing

  • On the days leading up to your appointment make sure you are cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing properly.

  • For the best possible results it is recommended that you do not shave 2-4 weeks prior to your appointment.
