| Enjoy your summer and avoid the daily hassle of shaving unsightly body/facial hair. Waxing thins and softens your hair over time making the procedure quick with less discomfort. Waxing is an excellent exfoliation treatment for the skin. The results from waxing typically last 3-4 weeks. We use a cirephil hard wax which is quick, virtually painless, less irritating, no sticky mess after, and doesn’t require strips. Depending on the body part waxing itself takes thirty minutes or less.
(Did You Know? Our skin care special is 3 micropeels for $195 (normally $85 each). Limit 1 per patient.)
To prepare for your waxing you want to lightly exfoliate the area 24 hours prior to appointment and hair must be at least a quarter of an inch and no longer than 1 inch. Avoid any strenuous exercise at least 5 hours prior and 24 hours post wax. For facial waxing you must be off your Retin-A/retinol and pre/post chemical peel for 5 days.
Waxing is a much better alternative to shaving. Shaving can cause ingrown hairs, cuts, irritation, typically needs to be done daily, and razors can harbor a lot of bacteria which can lead to infection. Avoid all of these issues and start waxing today!
