What should I do before my hair removal appointment?

No sun tanning prior to a treatment. Avoid stimulants such as caffeine. Keeping your skin exfoliated and hydrated is very important however; do not exfoliate the day before or the day of a treatment. The day of your appointment please come with clean, dry skin without moisturizer or oils. 

​

How long does my hair need to be?

For best results hair should be between 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch (about the length of a grain of rice). If your hair is longer than ½ inch, trimming before your appointment may  be necessary.

​

How long should I wait between treatments?

It is recommended that the hair be between 1/8 to 1/4 inch for the best results.  Each person will have a different rate of growth but typically the first few treatments are spaced 3-4 weeks apart to get the hairs on the same schedule.  Subsequent treatments are then spaced 4-6 weeks apart. You may notice a small amount of regrowth after a week or so. It can take up to 4 waxing cycles for your hair to get on a growth pattern that gives the best results.

​

What should I do after my appointment?

You may feel a little sensitive and your skin more vulnerable to irritation by otherwise harmless bacteria. It is important to keep the waxed area clean. 

Avoid heat (hot showers, sauna, and exercise) for 24 hrs

Avoid tanning; recently waxed areas are prone to hyperpigmentation 

Avoid tight fitting clothing that causes friction and synthetic fabric clothing for 24 hrs

Avoid any creams, lotions, or deodorants with artificial fragrances for 24 hrs

Do not use any products with hydroxy acids or other exfoliating properties for at least 4 days
