A Brazilian wax may cause many dermatological problems and infections if the treatment isn’t performed properly. (jlp)

In March, authorities in New Jersey tried to ban Brazilian waxing after two women suffered a severe infection of the private parts because of unsanitary conditions in one of beauty salons. A woman from New York had a similar experience. She was hospitalised for the entire two weeks because of an unhygienic Brazilian wax. She had one leg covered with cellulite and the experience could’ve had a very tragic ending. She could’ve lost her leg. Despite those incidents, however, the popularity of Brazilian waxing is growing rapidly. It’s particularly popular in summer, when hairs on a woman’s body are very unwelcome. Therefore, it’s extremely important that for hair removal you choose an appropriate salon that takes the hygiene criteria into consideration in waxing. The Frisky website recommends you to carefully choose a salon and gives a few basic tips about a Brazilian wax:

Make a health inspection check of a salon

 

As you thoroughly assess and get to know a man before allowing him to access your genitals, assess and become familiar with a beauty salon as well. You can ask other women who used services of the salon in question for additional information, but if you’re already there, take a good look of the salon’s premises. Most probably, a certificate will be framed on the wall, proving that the employees are highly qualified to perform, among others, a Brazilian wax.

Get rid of bacteria

 

Make sure that the employee wears latex gloves before he or she touches your genitals. Bare hands shouldn’t be anywhere near your genitals, especially not in a delicate situation such as waxing because it makes the skin in that area even more sensitive. If gloves aren’t used in the salon, at least make sure that the person performing a wax treatment thoroughly washes his or her hands with a suitable anti-bacterial soap before starting the treatment, as surgeons do. Don’t feel embarrassed to remind the employee if he or she forgets it by any chance.

Take care of your butt

 

As a Brazilian wax requires you to also take of your underwear, make sure that your buttocks has a fresh and clean sheet of paper placed on the chair. Therefore, if you see that the layer of paper has already been used, don’t feel embarrassed to ask for a new one.

Applying wax

 

Fresh wax and a wooden stick have to be used every time wax is applied. If you notice that the employee of the salon used the same stick twice, don’t keep quiet because he or she may apply quite an amount of germs. The products used in the treatment must contain no chemicals. Although doctors claim that the likelihood of contracting a sexually transmitted disease is very small, this kind of working methods may cause concerns as regards a potential bacterial infection. Complications occur very rarely, but it’s surely better to be safe than to be sorry. Before applying wax, a beautician should always check its temperature on his or her wrist.

Alcohol

 

If you didn’t pay attention whether or not the stick was used twice and you notice tiny blood spots, you can ask the employee for a cotton pad which contains a little bit of alcohol or a disinfection agent. Gently wipe the outer side of your wound and you’ll definitely destroy every harmful microorganism that you worry about. All the instruments used by your beautician should also be disinfected.

Aftercare of the waxed area

 

After waxing, you should use the cream recommended to have a beneficial, anti-bacterial and soothing effect on irritated skin. The right cream will also prevent unpleasant ingrown hairs.

Timely detection of an infection

 

For a few days, pay attention to any change that occurs after waxing. The story of a woman who almost lost her leg didn’t have tragic consequences only because the woman promptly made an appointment with her doctor due to the redness and swelling she had developed. Pay attention to inflamed ingrown hairs, rash, cuts, minor wounds and similar. If you develop redness, swelling, itching, dry skin or a high temperature, you have to see your doctor.
