I'm just into my second month of 40mg per day (first month 20mg) and I'm really missing my waxing routine :/
I know this is something I have to deal with and I am.. however, my skin isn't feeling that tender or overly dry as of yet.. so I was wondering if anyone has tried waxing early on into their treatment or even later.. will I be able to squeeze in one last under arm wax or am I too late?
I know everyones skin reacts differently to the drug but I am curious to hear other peoples experiences with waxing because I've heard a few horror stories!!
Although it's been a long time since you posted this . I'm on isotretoin (60mg/day since day 1, 62kg). I was never waxing (except of the hands sometimes) but i decided to try it after 40days of treatment. All my skin is still there, didn't rip off at all. I wouldn't recommend waxing on face, skin there is more tensed, dry and sensitive (even with tweezers you can see sometimes your eyebrows to peel, the safest way for face hair removal is the thread) To my mind whoever wants to try waxing while on accutane/acnotren etc would be good to try it first in a small spot and see how it reacts. I tried waxing on legs,:bikini and hands and there was no irritation rather than the usual one.
Sorry for my bad english and good luck to whoever is on isotretoin!..
