WAXING AFTERCARE ADVICE

To get the best possible results from your treatment over the next few days, please follow the guidleines below:

Note: Some slight soreness, small bumps and redness are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions, particularly if this is your first wax.  These symptoms should subside over the next 24-48 hours.  If you experience persistent redness or irritation, or if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

​

Keep the waxed area clean, and avoid heat and friction for the next 24-48 hours.

​

This means:

• No hot baths or showers (cool to lukewarm only)

• No saunas, hot tubs or steam treatments

• No tanning (sunbathing, sun beds or fake tan)

• No sport, gym or any other exercise

• Avoid scratching or touching the treated area with unwashed hands

• Avoid sexual contact (intimate treatments only)

• Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools

• Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or make up to the waxed area, other than those recommended by me

Remember to:

• Wear clean, loose fitting clothes

• Apply a lotion or cream to soothe the area and promote healing

• Always wash hands before applying any product

• Use a sunblock on exposed areas of skin 2-3 days following treatment

To minimise ingrown hairs exfoliate the waxed area a few days after your treatment 2-3 times  week using a loofah, exfoliating mitt or scrub.  Moisturise the area daily, which keeps the skin supple and encourage new hairs to grow through easily.

​

You may notice a small amount of re-growth after a week or so.  It can take up to 4 treatments for your hair to get on a growth cycle that gives best results.  Hair needs to be at least 1/2 cm long before it can be successfully removed by waxing.  Please do not shave, tweeze or use hair removal cream between appointments.

​

To maintain your new smooth appearance, I recommend regular waxing every 4 weeks.
