Side Effects of Waxing
Most important side effect of waxing is thrashing of flexibility and elasticity of the skin, which over a period of time can result in the appearance of wrinkle. Pigmentation or darkening of skin, may also occur in certain skin types.
Skin rash and reddishness of the skin, are some of the common side effects of waxing, which are experienced by almost everyone. However, they usually do not lead to any severe conditions, and subside after some time.
In highly sensitive skins, waxing can cause annoyance, minor bleeding and development of pustules. It may disturb the hair follicles and change the direction of hair growth, as the strip of cloth or paper is pulled back, against the direction of hair growth. Ingrown hair or hair that curls or grows sideways into the skin is the common result of waxing, which can occasionally cause inflammation of the area and pain.
In the case of hot wax, skin darkening and burns may occur if the wax is overly heated.
Folliculate is another side effect of waxing, which is characterized by the inflammation and infection of the hair follicles and may require medical treatment. In addition to all these, waxing produces allergic reactions in some individuals.
