Facial Waxing and Shaving During GLP-1 Treatment

If facial hair removal is part of your routine during GLP-1 treatment, review the products and method together.

If you choose shaving

AAD advises wetting skin and hair, applying shaving cream or gel, and shaving with hair growth. For very dry or sensitive skin, look for a shaving cream labeled for sensitive skin. Rinse the razor after each stroke. [2]

Care for the razor

Change blades or discard disposable razors after five to seven shaves, and let the razor dry completely between uses. Avoid storing it in the shower or on a wet sink. [2]

Bring the product names

Before booking, photograph the names and strengths of products used on your face. Write down which area you want treated and any previous reaction. Ask the clinician and hair-removal provider to agree on a plan before paying for a service.
