One of my besties is a pro swimmer and she waxes her arms and such. She's never had any problems with it but It does feel really coarse when it starts to grow in.

I waxed my arms to years, as long as its done properly it won't harm your skin. The hair is so much finer now that I havent waxed in a long time.

Nope fully body waxes are completely safe. I wax my arms and stomach :) the only place I don't wax is my face because I'm acne prone and can breakout. It won't harm your skin but I have had waxes break me out before so just be careful with the brands you use :D

My mum waxes her arms and tbh she doesn't really get any thick re-growth! She has coarse hair, although she used to wax her legs (she now does laser as although it is expensive, it is less re growth after a few sessions) and for we legs, the re-growth was pretty coarse. So I believe it matters about different parts of the body for different people and more genetics than anything else. I suggest laser as (from what I've heard) it is quiet painful at first and a bit pricey however it does do the job it claims and after about 5-10 (not entirely sure) sessions, the hair follicles get pretty weak therefore the hair grows less and slower!
Right, I'm now going off on a tandrum! Haha ok,I think you can wax the arm and belly area, If it's safe on the bikini area then most likely it is on the arms and stomach! Just be sure on the belly as even though you may be 'slim' it have no fat, you still have skin on your stomach at the end of the day and you don't want that ripping off! So be extra gentle around the belly. If your not sure; I would do this too; then just rest the wax on a little area on your belly/arm and see what happens over the period of time it grows back!

Sorry for the long&detailed answer, I hope I helped you and remember I am no expert, so do research before you try! 😊

Thanks! I wanted to use wonder wax that sticks to the hair rather than the skin. But that's odd how when it grows back it feels coarse, I thought I would feel finer! But thanks for the advice!!

I wax my arms...zero issues. Stomach...I have zero experience with that one but waxing my arms the hair comes in fine and my skin is super soft ( I use a honey based wax because it causes less irritation).

Mya I've been waxing most parts of my body abd and wax is great all over.hair will grow thinner not courser..

Not bad at all. The follicle actually gets smaller, and hair gets finer. An experienced waxer, I suggest an aesthetican, will use proper waxes, and methods.

Good waxers use wax techniques that sticks wax to hair, not skin.

You can wax anything and everything! For armsI recommend just shaving them. I've been shaving my arms for years, and could NEVER get them waxed, just because you have to wait for the hair to grow back so much before waxing again!

Being a licensed esthetician, I've waxed anywhere and everywhere pretty much. It is completely safe as long as you use the correct technique while waxing. If you're not sure, I would recommend having a professional esthetician (who specializes in waxing those types of parts as well) help you out.
