Why the face and eyebrows are included
The instruction applies to waxing, not only to a particular body area. It therefore includes facial and eyebrow waxing.
Wax epilation should be avoided during treatment and for at least six months afterward because of possible scarring.
What to do instead
Ask your dermatologist about the exact area and alternative method before threading, tweezing, shaving, using a depilatory cream, having laser treatment, or substituting another procedure.
If you already waxed
Do not wax again during the restricted period. Ask your healthcare provider what to do next and when cosmetic procedures can resume.
