Accepted Answer

Yes: Suggested side effects include bruising, ingrown hair and infections.

Question 2

i may have accidentally gotten wax stuck in my vagina, candle wax, how can i tell if i don't and how can i get it out or what are any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Guess: it depends on how much wax. A small amount should naturally be removed with your discharge. You could use your finger to see if you feel any wax. If in doubt however, see your doc for a pelvic exam.

Question 3

is it safe to use emla (lidocaine and prilocaine) cream before waxing or using it every time i wax will have side effects for the long term?

Accepted Answer

Safe if you can affo: Yes, safe.  A few people may become allergic.

Question 4

do veet wax strips cause skin darkening?

Accepted Answer

Hyperpigmentation: Waxing of any sort can cause inflammation, which in turn can cause hyper pigmentation, especially in darker skin types.  Laser hair removal is a better option, you get less ingrown hairs, less chronic inflammation.  Hyper pigmentation can be treated with a combination of steroids and bleaching creams.

Question 5

i am removing my facial hair with veet wax strips but after 3 turns i am feeling my facial hair are getting thicker, may i stop using it??

Accepted Answer

Of course!: Have never seen a hair removal product that one could not stop using... otherwise, a person would be stuck using it forever.  So, yes, a person can stop using whatever facial hair removal product he or she is using.

Question 6

how do i get veet wax off?

Accepted Answer

Probably: You probably have had a irritant reaction to this product. Please see a dermatologist to get the correct treatment.

Question 7

i waxed my vagina using veet wax strips and burnt it so bad the whole area is red and so painful i can barely keep my knickers on or even sit. please?

Accepted Answer

"Hot" wax treatment: I am very  sorry that your wax treatment has turned "hot" and feels like the candle flame instead. Medically, the skin of the vulva, hair follicles, and perineum have been "injured" as the hair  was  removed. Your first step is to see a GYN MD before a possible secondary infection sets in. In the interim, the pain can be addressed by sitting in a hot bath and using ibuprofen temporarily.

Question 8

i used veet cold wax strip to remove hairs from my stomach area. just after using strips my skin got red and i felt burning sensation. now after a week my skin has gotten dark from that area. what should i do now to get my original skin colour back?

Accepted Answer

: There is a good chance that the VEET wax strip took off a layer or two of the skin cells. The darkened color indicates healing. It should take another few weeks and that area will be back to normal as the healing skin cells come to the surface and healthy cells are revealed.

Question 9

can you tell me for underarm wax removal, is veet or nairs better in terms of the hair removal and regrowth time?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal: Laser hair removal for permanent hair reduction without the use of chemicals or electrolysis is recommended to most of my patients. We have found the Gentle ProMax the most comfortable and efficacious device.
