Lightly exfoliate a day or two before, avoid tanning and heavy creams, and grow hair to about a quarter inch. Arrive clean and skip caffeine to reduce sensitivity. Always inform your technician of skin conditions or medications.

Some discomfort is normal, but techniques like quick waxing, topical numbing on request, breathing, and experienced hands reduce pain. Pain often lessens with regular treatments as hair becomes finer and follicles adapt over time.

Results typically last three to six weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and personal hormones. Regular waxing can extend intervals as regrowth becomes finer. Factors like metabolism, medications, and hormones influence how quickly hair returns.

For most clients schedule every four to six weeks for maintenance, but personal cycles vary. After several sessions, many extend to six to eight weeks. Your esthetician will recommend timing based on regrowth patterns and skin sensitivity.

Avoid hot baths, saunas, pools, and tight clothing for 24 to 48 hours. Use soothing, fragrance-free lotions and gentle exfoliation after 48 hours to prevent ingrown hairs. Contact us if irritation or prolonged redness occurs.

Active sunburn, open wounds, recent chemical peels, retinoid use, or certain blood-thinning medications may rule out waxing. Pregnant clients can receive Brazilian waxing but should disclose pregnancy and any medical conditions so we can modify service safely.
