Waxing Benefits
Waxing is a semi-permanent hair removal method. The technique removes hair from the root, and it typically takes 2-4 weeks for the new hair to grow. Waxing can be done on almost any part of the body including arms, legs, back, eyebrows, abdomen, face and bikini area. Here are just some tips before waxing.
• The hair should be a quarter inch long.
• Avoid using lotion since it can cause sensitivity or irritation of the skin.
• People under medication should avoid waxing; the products can cause quick exfoliation of the skin leading to scabbing.
• There should be a 24-hour gap after waxing before sun exposure because the skin is still sensitive.

FAQs
What is waxing?
Waxing is a hair removal method that involves applying a sticky substance (wax) to the skin and then quickly removing it, pulling out the hair from the root.
Is waxing painful?
Waxing can be uncomfortable, especially for those new to the process or with sensitive skin. However, the pain usually lessens with regular treatments as the hair becomes finer and sparser.
What areas of the body can be waxed?
Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including the legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, back, chest, and face (eyebrows, upper lip, and chin).
How should I prepare for a waxing session?
To prepare for waxing, ensure the hair is at least a quarter-inch long for effective removal. Avoid sun exposure, exfoliate the area a day or two before, and avoid using lotions or oils on the day of the appointment.
How long does waxing last?
The results of waxing typically last between 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the individual's hair growth rate, the area waxed, and the consistency of waxing sessions.
What should I do after a waxing session?
After waxing, keep the area clean and avoid sun exposure, hot baths, saunas, and tight clothing for 24-48 hours. Applying soothing lotions or aloe vera gel can help reduce redness and irritation.
