Which hair removal method is suitable for clients using tretinoin?

Clients using tretinoin, a topical retinoid often prescribed for acne and other skin conditions, are typically advised to avoid hair removal methods that can cause irritation or damage to the skin. Threading is considered a suitable method for these clients because it is a gentle hair removal technique that involves using a thin thread to pull hair from the follicle without applying products directly to the skin, which minimizes the risk of irritation.

While waxing can be effective, it often leads to increased sensitivity and potential adverse reactions in individuals using tretinoin. Shaving may also cause irritation, especially if the skin is already compromised from tretinoin usage. Electrolysis, although a permanent hair removal method, can also cause irritation and may not be the best choice for those with sensitive skin. Therefore, threading provides a balance between effectiveness and safety for clients undergoing treatment with tretinoin.
