Hidradenitis Suppurativa & Waxing
For those managing Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), finding safe hair removal options can be a challenge. At Bodied By Tiff, we specialize in providing waxing services tailored to sensitive skin and specific conditions like HS, ensuring you feel comfortable and cared for.
Is waxing safe if I have HS?
Waxing can be safe for clients with HS, but it’s important to consult your physician first. At Bodied By Tiff, we understand how to work around active flare-ups and tailor the process to avoid irritating affected areas. Waxing may even help prevent friction and folliculitis in areas prone to HS when done correctly. Please if you have concerns, reach out to us first before your scheduled appointment.Will waxing worsen HS flare-ups?
While there is no guarantee, waxing performed with gentle techniques and proper aftercare can help reduce skin irritation rather than exacerbate it. Avoid waxing during an active flare-up, and let us know about your condition in advance so we can create a customized waxing plan for you.What post-waxing care is recommended for HS?
After waxing, wear loose clothing to reduce friction and irritation. Use soothing products like aloe vera or our recommended post-waxing lotion to calm the skin. Avoid sweating excessively for 24 hours and keep the area clean to prevent bacterial growth. Proper aftercare helps maintain smooth skin while managing HS symptoms.
