Waxing

Most people seeking smoother skin and longer-lasting hair removal than shaving can benefit from waxing, though it requires hair to be at least a quarter-inch long, and those with specific skin conditions or medications should consult a professional first.

Immediate, smooth, hair-free skin results are noticeable after a waxing session, though individual results may vary slightly due to differing hair growth cycles.

Typically, waxing results can last 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. Regular waxing sessions can lead to finer and sparser hair growth.

Waxing involves minimal downtime but may cause temporary redness and irritation, with avoidance of sun exposure and heat treatments recommended to minimize these effects.

Before waxing, ensure your hair is about a quarter-inch long and your skin is clean and dry, with exfoliation a day before to enhance results.

After waxing, maintain cleanliness of the treated area, avoid heat treatments and exfoliation to prevent skin sensitivity, and consider using a soothing lotion to alleviate any irritation.

During a waxing treatment, an aesthetician applies warm wax to targeted areas for hair removal in the opposite direction of growth and will minimize discomfort. Session length varies by area.
