I’m sure you’ve heard a wide range of opinions about waxing from the good, the bad and the ugly but we believe it’s one of the quickest and most manageable forms of hair removal methods out there. Here’s why:
FOR FACE:
We recommend not using retinoids for the first 24 hours before your appointment. Retinoids make the skin too delicate and prone to ripping.
FOR ALL OTHER BODY PARTS:
Please ensure that your hair is at least a quarter of an inch in length so that wax has something to grab onto.
If you’re on Accutane, you cannot be waxed for the first six months to prevent the skin from ripping and causing a wound, which can lead to an infection. If you’re on Accutane, and still want to come in for treatment, please give us a call and we’ll work together to find a service that fits your goals best.
We use several different hard and soft waxes, depending on the body type that is being waxed.
Hard wax is sometimes referred to as stripless wax since it’s removed without the help of strips and is best for larger areas of the body. The benefits are as follows:
Soft wax is a strip wax and causes more irritation since it removes the hair as well as the first layer of dead skin but there are some benefits of strip wax: :
No, waxing removes hair from the root, but it doesn’t destroy the hair follicle. Your hair will grow back with time.
While the level of pain during waxing depends on your individual tolerance, waxing may be slightly painful, especially if it’s your first time. The specific area you’re getting waxed can also affect the amount of pain you might experience.
No, your hair actually can grow back thinner with regular waxing, as this weakens your hair follicles.
A rough length is about a quarter of an inch long, similar to the length of a grain of rice or the thickness of a pencil’s eraser. This allows the wax to better grip your hair and remove it from the root.
Waxing can cause ingrown hairs, especially in places with thicker or curlier hair. An ingrown hair happens when your hair grows back into your skin as opposed to its normal outward direction. To minimize this risk after waxing, keep your waxed area clean and exfoliate regularly.
