Wax Hair Removal Treatments
The most common type of hair removal treatment is waxing and this type of treatments has benefits and drawbacks.
Wax hair removal clearly has the potential of be carried out incorrectly and causing problems and giving rise to a Wax Hair Removal Claim.
Waxing Problems
Most people who have a waxing treatment will feel some pain or discomfort, but there are some important reasons why some people should not have a waxing treatment.
If you are using prescription medication for acne then you should not be waxed or if you have very sensitive skin. The medication can make skin very sensitive and as a result of this sensitivity waxing can cause:
- Bruising
- Burning
- Excessive skin irritation
- Scarring from hot wax spillages
- Blisters
- Irritation
- Infection
- Cuts and cracks on skin
- Swelling
- Allergic reactions
- Bleeding
Your waxing practitioner should be aware of these restrictions and talk to you before starting your treatment and a patch test should be carried out too.
Can I Make a Waxing Hair Removal Claim?
Typically, to qualify for a waxing injury claim you need to demonstrate:
- The treating Beauty Therapist (Defendant) held a legal duty of care towards you;
- The defendant exhibited negligence in some way during your waxing treatment; and
- You suffered injury as a direct outcome.
What are Best Leg Waxing practices?
- Test patch
- Thoroughly wash legs in warm water to relax the hairs
- Pat off water and apply baby powder
- Check legs and see in what direction the hair is growing
- Test temperature of wax
- Apply thin layer of wax
- Immediately apply strip and rub up and down
- Wait for wax to set
- Grab strip at the end, pull in opposite direction of hair growth
- Repeat until entire leg is hair free
