Can I Get Waxed If I'm Taking Retin A, Renova, Accutane or steroids?
These medications increase the rate at which your skin exfoliates so waxing could potentially remove skin as well as hair. Please let us know immediately if you are on any medications. Also be aware that chemical peels, laser, and micro-dermabrasion can also affect skin integrity.
Other MEDICATIONS To Be Aware Of?
