Is Eyebrow Waxing Safe While On Treatment For Acne?

default
Posted on Tue, 31 May 2016
Question: Hi. I have been using prescription medicine for my acne for about 2 months now. I use Aczone, Sulfacleanse, Onexton, and Atralin. Am I able to continue waxing my eyebrows? I know there are certain medicines that can make your skin come off when waxing, but will the products I am using do that to me skin? And what if I stop using the products for a certain amount of time before getting my eyebrows waxed? It is very important that I get my eyebrows waxed, so I am wondering what the severity of the consequences are.

Brief Answer:
Better to stop 4 to 5 days before waxing.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

This agents increase the sensitivity of the skin, so it is better to stop at least for four to five days before waxing the area where this agents are applied. Other option is to go threading of eyebrow.
But in any case it is better to consult your dermatologist, as everyone's skin is different and a better opinion can be given after examining it. But in general it is better avoid them 4 to 5 days before.

This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.

I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.
