Is It Safe to Wax or Epilate my Underarms After Having Botox Injections?

I would suggest you wait at least four hours after Botox before you wax or shave, just to minimize a mechanical shifting of the Botox as we normally instruct our patients not to bend their head over for four hours after facial Botox.  Otherwise there is no concern with such hair removal the day after Botox. 

Hi Lthom.  It shoudl not be a problem regardless of how soon after you wax or otherwise remove the hair.

If you want to be even safer, wax the week before you go for the Botox injections as this schedule would not interfere at all.

As an aside, Laser Hair Removal will be cheaper for you in the long run!  See the link below for more information.

Hi Lt,

It's the pits!  You don't wish to be sweaty or hairy under those arms.  Best to wait a day or two after your Botox.  No sweat!.

Good luck and be well.
