Frequently asked body waxing questions.
What should I do to prepare for my waxing hair removal treatment?
Before your treatment, avoid applying any lotions or creams to the treatment area. You should also avoid shaving or waxing the treatment area for at least two weeks prior to treatment. The hair should be at least 1/4 inch in length for optimal results.
Can I shave the treatment area before my appointment?
No, you should avoid shaving the treatment area before your appointment. The hair should be long enough to be removed by the body wax.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable loose fitting clothing to your appointment. Avoid any clothing that will rub against the treatment area.
What types of activities or exposure should I avoid after my treatment?
After your treatment, avoid sun exposure, hot showers, and saunas for at least 24 hours. Additionally, avoid applying any irritants to the treated area, such as perfumes or deodorants. You should also avoid shaving or waxing the treated area for at least two weeks after your treatment.
How should I care for my skin post treatment?
Your esthetician will recommend aftercare product to you after your service. It is important to keep the area clean and moisturized unless specifically instructed otherwise. Avoid exfoliation and any harsh products for at least 48 hours.
When can I apply make-up or lotion to the treatment area
Your esthetician will give instructions on when it is safe to apply make-up. As a general guideline we recommend waiting at least 24 hours after any skincare treatment to apply make-up or lotions.
Are there any side effects to expect with body waxing?
Common side effects of sugaring hair removal treatments include redness, mild swelling, and mild discomfort at the treatment site. These side effects typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as blistering or scarring can occur. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, contact your practitioner immediately.
When should I schedule my next treatment?
The timing of your next treatment will depend on the rate of hair growth and your individual response to the treatment. Your esthetician will advise you on when to schedule your next treatment to achieve the best results.
