Professional Face & Body Waxing
Waxing is a popular hair removal treatment that removes unwanted hair from various areas of the body & face using a wax-based formula. During the procedure, a trained esthetician applies warm wax to the skin and quickly removes it using a cloth strip or by pulling the wax directly, taking the hair along with it. Waxing can be done on the legs, arms, back, face, bikini area, and even more delicate regions such as the eyebrows and lip.
Before beginning the procedure, the esthetician apply a pre-wax solution, and then carefully use wax at an optimal temperature to minimize discomfort. The wax may be soft or hard, depending on the area being treated.
Benefits and Expected Results: Waxing removes hair from the root, offering long-lasting smoothness. Results can last anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks, depending on hair growth cycles. Regular waxing helps weaken hair follicles over time, resulting in finer and less dense hair regrowth. The skin is left smooth and free from hair stubble, unlike shaving, which can leave hair just beneath the surface of the skin.
Recovery Time/Aftercare: After waxing, it’s normal for the skin to appear red and feel sensitive for a few hours. This should subside within a day. Clients are advised to avoid hot showers, excessive sweating, or sun exposure for 24–48 hours after the treatment. Moisturizing the skin regularly and exfoliating 2–3 days after waxing can help prevent ingrown hairs.
