An unidentified 20-year-old Australian woman with Type 1 diabetes (the kind that requires regular insulin shots) underwent a disastrous Brazilian bikini wax. During the waxing procedure, which was performed by a trainee, the woman experienced some vulval bleeding, suggesting tearing of the skin. And in the two weeks after, she developed symptoms of a worsening infection — pain, swelling, redness and discharge. By the time she sought medical help, she was reporting excruciating pain, fever, a rash that extended up to the chest and neck and severe difficulty urinating. Examination showed her external genitalia were "grossly swollen." Doctors couldn't do an internal examination because the woman was in too much pain; one was eventually performed after she'd been put under general anesthesia.
Several doctors reported "If she had not received appropriate therapy, she would have died".
Doctors continue to say "The importance of it is that it highlights a potential new phenomenon and that is the impact of the beauty industry on patients such as this...One of the problems with shaving pubic hair, as opposed to shaving your face or shaving your legs, is that it's an area that just has more bacteria in the neighbourhood, waxing also causes microscopic tears in the skin that can allow bacteria that normally sit harmlessly on the surface of the skin to slip into tiny cuts and cause infections."

The thing with the Brazillian wax technique is that it is hard to find proper trainng. I went to school to be an esthetican(skin therapist). My teacher was totally against the brazilian wax technique so I did not learn through her. I had to find someone already skilled to teach me.
You have to make sure your technician is prperly trained and that the wax is the right type for your skin and hair and also not recycled wax. Yup I went to a place where they reused the wax after filtering the pubes out NASTY! Also the room should be sanitary. -

travelling by car has reportedly killed a lot of people but still we do it. this is one girl we're talking about who was reported to have been almost killed by having her external genitalia shaved. then again there might be other instances such as this, that haven't been reported. -

Saying YES or NO to a Brazilian Wax is anyone’s option. If you say YES, …
Some precautions to take before you decide who’s doing your Brazilian wax:
An experienced wax applicator will:
- REFUSE: to work on people with diabetics, heart diseases, allergies, skin diseases
- SANITIZE: wear gloves, exchange spatulas every time he or she applies a new wax
- APPLY KNOWLEDGE: follow step by step the appropriate protocol
In case of a problem after a wax procedure:
- redness does not disappear after few hours
- swelling remains after 24 hours
- skin infection
*** You need to visit a physician as soon as possible!*** -

It hurts so much! But I don't have to shave for a while and it feels so much cleaner. I am not doing it to "look like a mannequin" as only one person really gets to see it, that is my husband. I do so (of course I have only done it twice) because I hate having to constantly shave. I like feeling clean. I do not want to have a jungle. It is not aesthetic reasons, but more comfort. Yet, that waxing is awful, but it is over fast! -
