How do I prevent spots/breakout after waxing/shaving of the buttocks?

Question

No matter what i try my buttocks breaks out in spots from hair removal and they actually take longer to clear up. I have tried creams etc but wondered would a tanning cab or sun bed session after waxing be helpful?

Scars can be temporary or permanent and there are many aspects of scars that can be improved. During your consultation, we look to determine the textural changes, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, scar color, scar contour depth, scar atrophy, inflammation, and scar thickness. Once complete, a HIDEF protocol is established that includes pigmentation protocols to either lighten or darken scar tone, retexturization of scars, inflammatory mediators, lasers, and contour correction. All of these require time and multi-plane correction.
