Let's have a look on the risks of bikini waxing:
Infection
If not done properly, bikini waxing can be the reason of bacterial infection in your body. When your hair is pulled during bikini wax, you are at the increased risk of tiny skin tears. It makes your body vulnerable to bacterial infection. Also, sometimes the infection starts from your pubic or bikini area and infects other parts of body also.
Sexually Transmitted Infection
Sometimes you don't realise or understand the infection as it is just starting and not showing much of its bad effects. But when you have unprotected sex with your partner, or use the same towel, she gets the infection as it transfers from one to another partner.
Skin Burns
Always make sure that you are going to a qualified professional for a bikini wax. A trained professional knows how to keep wax hot enough to work without hurting your skin. You are at a greater risk of getting burns on your skin if the person is not trained enough for bikini waxing.
Ingrown Hair

It is a big side effect of bikini waxing. When the hair is pulled in the opposite direction of the follicle growth, ingrown hair grows and causes irritation on the skin.
Scars and Dry Skin
