Hair Removal

  • Hair Length: Hair only needs to be 1/4" long for waxing & sugaring (about the length of a grain of rice.) Approx 10-14 days of growth after shaving.

    Moisturizing: We suggest using Finipil! Daily moisturizing keeps the skin healthy and dramatically helps to have a better waxing experience.

    Exfoliation: Exfoliating 2-3 times a week before your appointment will help remove the dead skin and decrease the pain associated with waxing. Just avoid over-exfoliating, especially 24 hours before and after your visit.

    Avoid using retinol 7-10 days prior to appointment and AHA/BHA 2-3 days before appointment to avoid irritation and reactions.

    Water Intake: Drinking extra water before your appointment can help your waxing to be less painful and more effective. Drinking coffee or alcohol before your visit is not recommended and can increase the pain during hair removal!!!

    Pain Reliever: Taking a pain reliever/ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment may help decrease the pain associated with hair removal. Please consult your doctor prior.

  • Exfoliating: Please wait three days after hair removal before exfoliating and then continue exfoliating 2-3 times a week.

    AHA/BHA Toner Pads: AHA/BHA exfoliating toner pads are perfect for those prone to ingrown hairs. Great for active skin too. They can be used on the face and body. You can start using 1-2 days after Treatment or once any irritation subsides. Use 2-3 times a week.

    Finipil: Apply Finipil daily to keep your skin hydrated and prevent ingrown hairs. This can be used immediately after Treatment. Use as your moisturizer daily.

    AVOID: Avoid Hot Tubs, bathtubs, and swimming pools for 2-3 days following Hair Removal. The skin's pores are more open 24 hours after Hair Removal, so there is a greater chance of infection. Showering is okay.

    Skin Spotting: Tiny red spots may appear on the skin for a few hours or even a day. If this should happen, do not be alarmed. This indicates that the hairs have been removed from the follicle, which is standard after Treatment, and they will disappear. If they turn into white pimple-like bumps use Hydrocortisone cream if you don't have an allergy to hydrocortisone.

    Exercising: It is best not to exercise the day of hair removal. Exercise increases sweating and, therefore, the chance of breakouts. We recommend waiting until irritation is gone before exercising. Usually 24 - 48 hours.

    What to wear: It is best to wear loose cotton clothing after receiving hair removal.

    Sensitive Skin: Do not use highly fragranced body products on the areas treated for 1-2 days after Treatment.

    Beware of Sun Exposure: After your Treatment, your skin may sunburn more easily. Avoid exposing your skin to the sun, and do not use a tanning bed for at least three days before or after hair removal. We can not perform hair removal on skin that is sunburned.

    Your Next Appointment: The best results occur when establishing a routine suitable to your hair growth. Since the diminishment of hair growth is a gradual process achieved by regular treatments over some time, the usual period between appointments is 3-5 weeks. It is important to note that due to the changes that may occur in your hormonal balance from time to time, you may have hefty growth perhaps 1 or 2 times a year. This is quite normal. Remember that the diminishment of hair growth will occur gradually, despite the occasional heavy increase. This doesn't mean the Treatment isn't working or your hair growth is being stimulated. Usually, hair diminishes the most within 18-24 months.

    Sugaring

    Sugaring is a more gentle approach to hair removal. This natural smooth paste results in an easier recovery yet is very effective at removing the hair from the root which helps reduce the risk of ingrown hairs. Hair regrowth is drastically reduced over time.
