Waxing is a long-lasting hair removal method that also leaves your skin smooth and exfoliated. It takes longer for hair to grow back after waxing compared to shaving.

Various body and facial areas can be waxed, including the bikini area, underarms, arms, legs, back, stomach, and chest.

Typically, hair removal from waxing lasts up to 6 weeks, but this may vary based on individual hair growth.

Ensure the area is clean, dry, and exfoliated before waxing. Avoid lotions or oils which can interfere with the wax’s adherence.

Apply moisturizer to soothe skin and avoid sun, hot baths, and excessive sweating for 24-48 hours to prevent irritation.

Yes, despite the upfront cost, the long-lasting results and minimal maintenance make waxing a cost-effective hair removal method.

Aftercare is essential to ensure that your skin remains healthy and comfortable following a waxing treatment. Here are some important aftercare instructions for waxing:

• Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching or scratching the waxed area immediately after the treatment. Your skin might be sensitive, and touching it can introduce bacteria and lead to irritation.
• Stay Away from Hot Water: It is recommended to avoid hot showers, steam rooms, and saunas for at least 24 hours after waxing. Hot water can further irritate the skin and cause redness or discomfort.
• No Sun Exposure: Steer clear of direct sunlight, tanning beds, and artificial tanning products for at least 24 hours after waxing. Your skin will be more sensitive, and sun exposure can lead to sunburn or skin damage.
• Loose Clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent friction and irritation on the freshly waxed area.
• Skip the Gym: Refrain from strenuous exercise or activities that may cause excessive sweating for 24 hours after waxing. Sweating can irritate the skin and may lead to folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles).
• Avoid Harsh Products: Avoid using products with harsh chemicals, fragrances, or exfoliating properties on the waxed area for at least 24 hours. These products can cause some irritation to the skin and cause redness or inflammation.
• No Touch-Ups: Avoid shaving or tweezing any regrowth between waxing sessions. Allow your hair to grow out to get the best results from your next waxing appointment.
• Exfoliate After 48 Hours: After 48 hours, you can gently exfoliate the waxed area to prevent ingrown hairs. Use a mild exfoliant and avoid scrubbing too vigorously.
• Moisturize: Keep your skin moisturized after waxing to maintain its hydration and suppleness. Choose a gentle, unscented moisturizer to avoid irritation.
• Regular Maintenance: For optimal results, maintain a regular waxing schedule based on your hair growth cycle and your esthetician’s recommendations.
