All my friend Nina wanted was a smooth bikini line. But within 24 hours of getting a bikini wax at a reputable salon, an infection crept in.

She developed a fever of 102, chills, and pain in her left thigh. first she ignored, thinking its normal cold, but after five days, the pain was worse.

Her doctor diagnosed her with Cellulitis, a potentially life-threatening bacterial infection of the skin and the underlying tissue.She spent the next 15 days in the hospital pumping antibiotics and heavy-duty painkillers. She also had surgery to drain the infection.
One doctor said she could have lost her leg.
She still hasn't recovered fully both physically and emotionally from the whole ordeal.

Steep price to pay for a little vanity, I thought i will share it with my friends here, i hope you guys take all the care, any other experiences guys ?


While there are no reliable stats on body wax related complications, Jennifer's experience wasn't unique. Recently, the state of New Jersey nearly banned Brazilian bikini waxes after two women landed in the hospital as a result of them (one of the women filed a lawsuit against the state cosmetology board). And in 2007, an Australian woman with type 1 diabetes almost died of a bacterial infection she got after a bare-it-all wax.

i like eating raw meat near that part..even though it taste like seafood!!

but why baby i think no problem

i think who is doing it for you is also important, get it done from a nice place

Beware of yeast infections...

how long does a full bikini wax take to heal?

I'm scheduled to get my wax down there tomorrow but I'm so scared. I'm considering canceling. On a scale from one to ten I'm sure it's a 12! plus it's my first time.

Another important thing ladies, please insist on hard wax, otherwise you will have blisters and redness all over

Yea, its hell painful, just a suggestion guys, i always take an Asprin when I go for one
