Waxing treatments
Waxing is a temporary
hair removal treatment of hair not less than approximately 10mm long,
lasting four to six weeks.
Waxing takes hair
removal a step further by going under the skin and pulling the hair out from
the root, thus extending that silky-smooth feeling longer than a day, which
is the average length of time shaving works for.
Waxing is not permanent. It does, however, keep hair away for as long as two
weeks, depending on the area and how often you have it treated. Because
waxing hits at the follicle root, hair grows back thinner with each
treatment, thus greatly reducing the coarseness of hair.
It is advisable that up to 24 hours after any waxing treatment, you should:
- Avoid heat treatments, including sunbeds, sunbathing, and hot
baths/showers.
- Avoid applying scented products or make-up to the waxed area.
- Wear only loose clothing.
Waxing procedure
The waxing procedure is quick and involves a warm tea tree wax being applied to the skin in the direction of the hair growth using a wooden spatula. This hair is then pulled off in the opposite direction using fabric strips. A cooling lotion is then applied to keep the skin healthy and supple.
The area to be waxed requires varying times. Below shows approximate times taken:
Full leg wax including bikini line 40 minutes,
Full/Half leg wax 30/20 minutes,
Full/Half arm wax
20/15 minutes,
Bikini wax/Brazilian wax
10-15 minutes,
Underarm wax 15 minutes,
Lip or Chin wax 5 minutes,
Full face/Side face wax 15/10 minutes.
