Facial Waxing Side Effects

Redness & Irritation: Facial waxing can cause mild redness, sensitivity, and irritation around the applied area for up to 24 hours.
Temporary Bumps: Bumps can develop on top of the pores where the hair was removed for up to a few hours.
Ingrown Hairs: While you have a lower risk of ingrown hairs with waxing, the chances are still possible if the hairs aren’t fully removed from their follicles.
Allergic Reactions: Depending on the individual, it’s possible to have an allergic reaction to some waxing products used by salons.
Rashes: Redness and irritation is common with any kind of waxing, but if the symptoms develop into a rash within a couple of days, care for it accordingly immediately.
Sun Sensitivity: Applying fresh wax before or after a sunburn is not advised. A layer of your skin is lifted with waxing, which can lead to even more irritation if you’re experiencing sunburn.
Bleeding: Waxing may cause mild bleeding because of the extra layer of skin getting pulled. There should only be small amounts of bleeding and it shouldn’t last long.
