Waxing is our non-permanent solution to hair removal. This is for clients who still wants to wax the areas NOT treated with laser or thermolysis, or those still deciding on permanent hair reduction methods! Our waxing specialist will focus on waxing your hair away.

Waxing is a method of hair removal where the hair is removed from the root.  New hair will usually only appear through the skin again after an approximate period of four to six weeks (although some people’s hair grows back quicker due to different hair growth cycles in every person.)  The hair is removed by covering the area with a sticky substance called “wax” to ensure the body hair sticks to it, and then the wax is quickly removed.  Through this action the hair is pulled out from the follicle.

Almost any area of the body can be waxed, from top to toe!  Please request our pricelist for a detailed overview of the areas.

Many types of waxing are available for removing unwanted hair, but we will only explain what we use at our clinic due to the efficacy of the method.

If you struggle with some of the following or went through a process mentioned below, you might be more prone to “skin lifting”, where the top layer of the skin is torn away during treatment

• Recent sunburn
• Recent surgical peel, microdermabrasion or chemical peel using glycolic, alpha hydroxy, salicylic acid, or other acid-based products.
• Taking drugs for autoimmune diseases like lupus.
• Taking prednisone or steroids.
• Psoriasis, eczema, or other chronic skin diseases.
• Recent cosmetic or reconstructive surgery.
• Recent laser skin treatment.
• Severe varicose leg veins.
• Rosacea or very sensitive skin.
• History of fever blisters or cold sores
• Using any peeling agent like Trevino or Tazaronene
• Blood thinning medications

While waxing is a good temporary solution for hair removal, there is some drawbacks to it.

Painful – Although it is painful, we will try our best to make it the least painful possible.

Some people experience ingrown hairs.  If this is the case and you continuously get it, it might be time to strongly consider laser hair removal.  All our clients who struggled with ingrown hairs, does not experience this anymore.  If there were marks left from the ingrown hairs, this marks eventually also fade away when our clients start with laser hair removal. (Please see our laser hair removal tab for more info)

Some people experience red bumps or minor bleeding, if this is the case with you, please let us know so that we can evaluate if you are a candidate for waxing or if we should monitor it for future purposes.
