A member asked:
Is it safe to wax my legs and my thighs? will the hair stop growing for a while than shaving? what waxing do you recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It's safe to wax in general. Some people do get skin irritation from it though so be aware if you tend to have sensitive skin. The hair won't stop growing but your skin will remain smoother longer as it will take longer for the hair to grow back. As for which type to recommend- that i really couldn't say-sorry !
