Waxing: Prices, Procedure & Application Areas on the legs with wax and spatula

Waxing

In summer, the beauty routine demands clean skin, free from unwanted hair, more than any other time of the year. However, laser hair removal, which is a benchmark method, is sometimes not suitable. For the summer period, classic waxing or sugaring (a hot wax method using natural ingredients) is an ideal choice for your skin, especially when laser hair removal is not possible due to tanned skin.

Waxing Process

The first and most important step for the waxing process is to choose a professional establishment that respects and adheres to hygiene rules . At Facemed Clinic , we use hot wax enriched with azulene , with antimicrobial and soothing properties .

  • PREPARATION : Waxing does not require extensive preparation. It is applied to skin that has been cleansed with a mild soap, free from sweat, microbes, etc. Exfoliating 2-3 days before your waxing appointment also contributes to a better result.
  • STEP 1 : The depilatory wax is applied when warm, not at a very high temperature, pressing gently to ensure it adheres to dry skin, always in the direction of hair growth.
  • STEP 2 : Subsequently, the depilatory wax is removed in the opposite direction of hair growth.
  • STEP 3 : Any wax residue on the skin is removed with body oil or a fatty cream. After depilation, apply a moisturizing cream with soothing properties, and if the area will be exposed to the sun, apply sunscreen.

A basic rule between your waxing or sugaring appointments is to never use a razor . Besides the known effects on the skin (irritations, etc.), it will also affect the duration of the treatment results. Shaving is forbidden even before waxing , as hair must have a specific length for the treatment to be effective. "Waxing makes the skin more sensitive, so sunscreen use is essential"
