Can Brazilian Waxing Cause UTIs or Cysts? What You Really Need to Know

At Zera Haus, we know that Brazilian waxing can feel like a vulnerable topic—especially when you're Googling things like “Can Brazilian waxing cause UTIs?” or “Will I get a cyst after waxing?” First of all: you're not alone. These are some of the most searched questions we see from clients in Orlando and beyond, and we’re here to give you real, honest answers.

The Short Answer: It Can, But It Shouldn’t

Here’s the thing—like any beauty service, Brazilian waxing done incorrectly or in an unhygienic environment can lead to irritation, ingrowns, or infections like UTIs or cysts. But that’s exactly why where you go matters.

At Zera Haus, we’re meticulous about our technique, sanitation, and aftercare education. We’re not just in the business of waxing—we’re in the business of trust. And your body deserves nothing less.

Let’s Break It Down:

Can Brazilian Waxing Cause UTIs?

Technically, yes—especially if:

• The area isn’t cleaned properly before/after waxing

• Tools or gloves aren’t sanitary

• You wear tight, sweaty clothes right after your wax

But at Zera Haus, we follow strict sanitation protocols, use single-use tools, and advise clients to wear breathable fabrics post-wax. If you're prone to UTIs, let us know—we’ll take extra precautions.

What About Cysts?

Cysts can form from blocked hair follicles, ingrown hairs, or bacteria entering the skin. Again, poor technique is usually the root cause.

We minimize risk by:

• Using high-quality waxes suitable for sensitive skin

• Applying product that soothes + protects post-wax

• Guiding you on how to exfoliate and hydrate at home

Here’s What You Can Do To Protect Your Skin:

• Avoid working out or sweating heavily for 24 hours

• Don’t wear tight jeans or thongs right after your wax

• Use a gentle exfoliant 2–3x/week (we’ll recommend our favorites)

• Come to a pro (hi 👋🏼) instead of DIY waxing
