Well, I think that first of all, you should probably stop getting your brows waxed if you have such sensitive skin! Ouch poor thing. Try threading instead. Just keep the affected area clean, and put extra virgin coconut oil on it often, or Neosporin because they will both prevent more scarring.

The wax could be too hot when it is put on your skin. try aloe.

If you've gone to the same place and this is happening maybe they aren't doing it right?

Its what we call 'lifting'. Meaning the top layer of skin is lifting off with the wax. A lot of the times is has nothing to do with how hot the wax is, but if you are on any oral medications that may cause skin sensitivity (anti biotics, blood thinners aka aspirin, or accutane. As well as any medications you may be using topically such as salicylics, glycolics, retinols etc. Or just plain old dry/sensitive skin. In this case you just wanna put on the poly! Vitamin E oil will also help as well.

Thanks Kathryn! I was prescribed acne medication from the dermatologist so that is probably why! Is there any way I can prevent this in the future? And how can I heal it quickly?

I think the wax might be too hot, or they're pressing it too much on your skin. I have sensitive skin, and when I wax my brows at home I dip my stick in the wax and let it cool for just a few seconds, apply the wax and strip, lightly rub once then rip off. I haven't had any issues since I started that routine. If that doesn't work, it could also be the wax is too much for your skin in general :(

I know, I was on differin for a long time and even though I would put it nowhere near my eyes it still finds a way to sink into that orbital area. Even as an esthetician, I would still be silly enough to wax my own brows rather than tweeze or just go off the topical and tell myself I wouldn't lift, but surely, still would! I would recommend to stop the use of the topical at least 1 week prior to brow waxing!

Oh shoot! If its an oral med, I would just stay away from waxing in general until you are all done. If it is by any means that you are on accutane, you should be off it for 6 months to 1 year before proceeding with waxing!

Polysporin is the best thing you can do to heal a lift.

You should get them threaded it lasts longer and is more gentle on the skin than waxing. I have very sensitive skin and it works for me xx

I agree with Kathryn, I'm a cosmetologist and I was taught that people on skin medications should avoid being waxed- the medication makes your skin way more sensitive and easier for the wax to adhere to, hence why you're having such terrible experiences.
Switch to threading, it will be much gentler on your skin and give you much cleaner results, I've been a customer and threader for over 5 years and it is by far the best kind of hair removal service. It might be hard to find a place that does it and a threader that you're happy with but it will be worth it.
