Waxing is one of the most popular and convenient methods of removing unwanted body hair. Even though the result of waxing lasts for weeks, women hesitate to undergo it for a reason- IT HURTS!
Waxing involves the application of hot wax on the skin, followed by cloth strips or waxing strips. Once the strip sticks to the skin properly, it is pulled in the opposite direction of hair’s growth to remove hair right from the roots.
You may feel pain while waxing, and in unfortunate cases, you can also get wax burns. Sounds scary, right? But don’t worry; there is nothing to be scared of, as these side effects can be totally prevented by taking the right measures.
If a professional or an experienced person is waxing, the level of pain would be very lower, and you won’t feel pain, discomfort, or burning. So, always choose the right person to wax your hair.

What If I Get Wax Burn?
Making err is human! So, if you have got wax burn due to some mishap during the waxing session, fret not. You can ease the burn and improve the skin’s condition in different ways.
Wax burns occur when you apply very hot wax on the skin. Most cases of wax burn can be managed at home using home remedies alone. However, if the burn area is more and you cannot handle it at home, visit the emergency room immediately.
At the same time, if you notice your wound is taking too long to heal (more than three weeks) and there is pus formation, it could be a sign of infection. In such cases, you should visit your doctor immediately to prevent further spread.
