Can We Wax Body (Legs and Hands) While On Accutane Acne Treatment?

Question

Dina D. Strachan, MD · Answer

Do not get waxed anywhere on the body while on Accutane as this may results in erosions on the skin.  Also avoid laser and light treatments, as well as depilatory at this time.  Acceptable options for hair removal are threading, plucking, and shaving.

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

It is not a good idea to undergo waxing while on Accutane. In fact, it can result in very bad burns or pulled off skin. I absolutely would recommend you not do this!
