WHAT TO EXPECT What to expect from Waxing. You will need to do a little prep work before you wax, cleanliness is always appreciated before any treatment Hair needs to be at least 0.5cm in order for it to be long enough for removal by wax  A high quality pre-wax solution is applied to the skin to be epilated. This cleanser has anti-bacteria properties, helping to minimise the risk of infection once the hair is removed and the skin has been broken. The technician will hold the skin tight while systematically applying and removing warm liquid wax in small methodical sections until the desired area is hair free. For areas containing thick (terminal) hair, such as the pubic region, hot wax is applied, allowed too cool and removed. For areas containing thin (vellus) hair, such as back, arms and legs, warm liquid waxed is used with cotton strips for removal. A high quality post wax soothing gel is applied to the skin after treatment. Its active ingredients help close pores, reduce the risk of infection, minimise redness, soothe the micro trauma caused to the skin, leaving it feeling soft, hydrated and luxuriously hair-free.  Redness and sensitivity can be expected anywhere from an hour to 24 hours post treatment. However just a few hours of redness and sensitivity is most common. It is advised that sweating, hot showers and fragrances should be avoid for 24 hours post treatment as they can open the pores and increase the risk of infection.
