Waxing is a semi-permanent hair removal technique. Unlike shaving, which removes hair on the surface of the skin, waxing removes hair at the root.
PREPARATION AND PROCESSING
On the day of the session, a semi-long hair should be present on the skin in order to be able to remove it effectively. Waxing involves applying heated wax to the desired area and removing the wax with a strip against the direction of hair growth. Any wax residue is then cleaned off and unwanted hair removed.
WHAT TO EXPECT
After a session, it may take about two to eight weeks before you experience any new hair regrowth. However, it is necessary to keep in mind that in for some, there is regrowth as quickly as after a week. Please consider that several factors can influence the rate of regrowth.
WAXING OR LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
The two most commonly used hair removal treatments are permanent laser hair removal and waxing sessions.
Laser hair removal is the most effective and cost-effective long-term strategy. Advances in technology have also reduced the duration of sessions, thereby reducing discomfort.
There are several other advantages to laser hair removal, but the permanent results that this technique offers is a huge advantage over waxing. We should also add that contrary to popular opinion, laser hair removal is now accessible to the majority of skin types, including dark skin.
That being said, waxing remains the recommended method in cases where the hair is red or white and on areas covered with tattoos.
IN CONCLUSION
Waxing is an effective solution to temporarily get rid of unwanted hair. Unlike shaving, the hair grows back, but without becoming harder or even darker. Our qualified team members can wax almost any area of your body.
