Results typically last three to six weeks depending on hair growth, genetics, and care. Regular waxing can slow regrowth and produce finer hairs over time. Maintenance appointments help keep the area smooth and predictable.

Some mild discomfort is normal, especially during the first appointment, but estheticians use techniques to minimize pain. Numbing creams, quick strips, and calming breathing can help. Sensitivity usually decreases with regular waxing sessions.

Arrive with clean, dry skin and hair about a quarter inch long for optimal waxing. Avoid sun exposure, tanning, strong retinoids, and vigorous exfoliation forty-eight hours prior. Wear loose clothing for comfort.

Aftercare includes avoiding hot showers, saunas, and heavy exercise for twenty-four hours. Apply a soothing, fragrance-free lotion and exfoliate gently after forty-eight hours to prevent ingrown hairs and maintain smooth skin.

Waxing can cause ingrown hairs or irritation for some skin types, but proper technique and aftercare reduce risks. Gently exfoliate, moisturize, and use targeted products if bumps appear. Contact us for treatment or persistent concerns.

Schedule every three to six weeks depending on your hair growth and desired smoothness. Consistent waxing often lengthens intervals and softens regrowth. Your esthetician will recommend a personalized schedule based on results and skin response.
