Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including bikini area, legs, arms, back, abdomen, and feet. There are many types of waxing suitable for removing unwanted hair.
BENEFITS OF WAXING:
Effective method of removing large amounts of hair at one time
Waxing is a much longer-lasting method when compared to shaving and depilatory creams
Areas that are repeatedly waxed over long periods of time often softer hair regrowth
Waxing cost varies by area. Please call for pricing.
BEFORE AND AFTER WAXING TIPS: Before
Make sure that the area which you intend to wax does not have any wounds, skin rashes, acne
Do not shave the desired spot before waxing. Your hair should be at least 1/4″ long, any hairs shorter than that will not get pulled out.
Trimming down the longer hairs makes the treatment much less painful
After
Apply oil immediately after the treatment and use it to get rid of the remaining wax. The next step is to put some talcum powder in order to prevent skin wetting.
Never moisturize the treated area as this can lead to skin infections or irritations. Wait at least 12 hours before taking a shower.
The use of an after wax cream some 60 minutes after the procedure helps soothe the skin
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Contagious skin condition. Wait for the condition to clear before waxing.
Thin or fragile skin Can cause bruising and tearing of the skin which may lead to infection.
Use of steroid medication The use of steroid creams or medication can cause a thinning of the skin. Waxing should not be done whilst using such medication, and not until three months after completing the treatment.
Roaccutane This treatment for severe acne can cause extreme dryness in the skin which often leads to thin or fragile skin. Wait at least 6 months from completing the course before waxing, longer if the skin is still fragile
Allergies As with all topical products/treatments those with allergies to the ingredients should not proceed with the treatment.
Raised moles and skin tags. Wax should not be applied directly over them.
Abrasions, bites, broken skin, bruises. Avoid waxing the affected area until completely healed
Varicose veins. Do not wax over the affected area
