waxing and vitiligo

[Lynne Baker]

I've scoured my text books and training manuals and can find no mention of this. Can you wax over vitiligo patches?
Thanks v much!

Yes you can wax a client with Vitiligo ... Vitiligo is not a contra indication to waxing. It is just a pigmentation disorder of the skin (lacks melanin in the affected areas) and won't be affected by waxing.

I thought as much, but just wondered if the skin was thinner or more fragile on those areas. Cheers, Jen!

You're welcome

The skin is not more fragile... just lacking in colour. :hug:
