Can I get waxed if I’m on medications?

Waxing can still be performed when taking most medications, however there are a few which need to be avoided as they thin the skin, making you more at risk of skin lift. These can include:

• Accutane (Acne medication)
• Adapalene (Acne medication)
• Alustra (Retin A)
• Avage (Acne medication)
• Avita (Retin A)
• Azelex (Peeling agent)
• Clindamycin
• Differin (Acne medication)
• Doxycycline
• Erythromycin
• Isotretinoin (like Accutane)
• Madifloxicine
• Metronidazole
• Prednisone
• Renova (Retin A)
• Retin A (Acne and Anti-aging medication)
• Tazarac (Acne medication)
• Tazarotene (Tazorac)
• Tetracycline
• Tretinoin (Retin A)

If you are unsure as to whether your current medication will prevent you from having waxing, please consult your Doctor before making an appointment.
