How long do waxing results last?
• Waxing results can last 3–8 weeks, depending on the person's hair growth, the location of the wax, and the accuracy of the application. Regular waxing every 4–6 weeks can make skin
less sensitive and hair finer.
How can I prepare for waxing?
Before waxing, you can:
• Stop shaving or plucking two weeks prior
• Gently exfoliate the area the day before
• Consider scheduling your appointment between menstrual cycles when skin
can be more sensitive
• Take an ibuprofen an hour before your appointment if you're worried about
pain
How can I minimize ingrown hairs?
• Exfoliate before and after waxing to promote healthy skin and reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs. You can also use products like scrubs, brushes, poufs, and oils.
What should I avoid after waxing? For 48 hours after waxing, you should
avoid:
• Sun exposure
• Tanning
• Hot baths and hot tubs
• Heavy lotions
• Exfoliation
Who should avoid waxing?
• Some physicians don't recommend waxing for people with diabetes, varicose veins, or poor circulation, as they may be more susceptible to infection. Waxing is also not recommended for people taking Accutane or using skin-thinning acne medications like Retin A, Renova, or Differin.
