Waxing
Enquire Now
What is waxing?
Waxing is the longest-lasting temporary hair removal technique available. Warm wax is applied to the skin and enters the hair follicle, allowing the hair to be pulled out from the root.
The different types of waxing performed at Therapy House include:
First a pre-conditioning lotion for waxing is applied to the area to be treated and then hot wax is poured onto the skin and covered with strips of cloth. Once the wax hardens around each strand of hair, the cloth is quickly pulled off. Your skin will be held taught in the opposite direction from the way the strip is removed.
How long do the effects last?
Hair grows back in 3 to 6 weeks.
Are there any side effects?
Waxing can be painful, especially for those with sensitive skin.
The best way to reduce pain is to try and relax! This may be easier said than done but according to many beauty practitioners when a client is tense, the follicle closes and the wax doesn't reach the root of the hair.
Immediately after waxing it may help to apply gentle pressure to the area with your hands and icing the area can also help to ease the pain.
The more often you get a wax treatment, the more accustomed you'll grow to the experience and the more pleasent it will become.
Is there anything else i need to know?
Waxing should be avoided if you have a contagious skin condition, cuts or grazes to the area requiring waxing, skin allergies, or thin, fragile skin.
Steroid medication can also thin the skin, so do not wax for three months after your medication course is complete, or six months if taking the acne treatment Roaccutane.
You may also be advised to avoid waxing in areas with raised moles and skin tags, bites, bruises or varicose veins.
Are there any other options?
Another option to waxing is our virtually pain-free laser hair removal system which can leave you with permanently hair free smooth skin.
What should I do next?
Call us to arrange a free half hour consultation with our Clinical Director to discuss your requirements and the most suitable procedures given your medical history and the results you’re looking for.
