What can occur when using wax that is too hot?

Redness and puffiness
Allergic reactions
Burns or blisters
Skin irritation

The correct answer is: Burns or blisters

Using wax that is too hot can lead to burns or blisters on the skin. When the wax temperature exceeds safe limits, the risk of direct thermal injury increases significantly. Burns can result in pain, redness, swelling, and in more severe cases, blistering, which can lead to further complications if not properly treated. Understanding the importance of waxing temperature is critical for estheticians to ensure the safety and comfort of their clients. Ensuring that wax is at a safe temperature before application helps to minimize the risk of injury and promotes a smoother waxing experience. Although redness and puffiness, allergic reactions, and skin irritation can occur due to various other factors in the waxing process, burns or blisters specifically relate to the danger of using wax that is too hot.
