Waxing

Waxing is an excellent way to deal with most hair removal. Waxing leaves the area smoother than shaving does because it pulls the hair out from below the top layer of skin. This is the easiest and most convenient way to go about removing hair from large areas.

With warm waxing, a thin layer of heated wax is applied to the skin in the direction of the hair growth. The hair becomes embedded in the wax as it cools. The wax is then pulled off quickly in the opposite direction of the hair growth, taking the hair with it.

Prior to the treatment - I will cleanse the area using a specially formulated pre-cleansing lotion. I will then apply a high quality warm wax and remove the unwanted hair.

You should ensure that the hair to be waxed is a minimum of around 0.75cm - 1cm so that the wax will take to the hair effectively. This is normally around 2 weeks post-shaving growth for most ladies or 4-6 weeks post waxing.

Once the waxing has been completed, a soothing  lotion is applied to soothe and help the skin recover from the waxing treatment.
