The Benefits of Professional Waxing for Hair Removal
Our waxing services in Fort Collins offer several benefits for hair removal, including:
- Long-lasting results: Unlike shaving, body and facial wax removes hair from the root to give you smoother skin for up to six weeks. Waxing weakens hair follicles, causing the hair to grow back finer.
- Exfoliation: Waxing also acts as an exfoliant for the skin. When wax is applied and pulled away, it removes any dead skin cells that accumulate on the skin’s surface, making it appear dull and dry. This exfoliation helps reduce ingrown hairs and irritation.
- Convenience: Less regrowth means less frequent maintenance and more time between appointments. Waxing also saves you time in your daily grooming routine.
- Precision: Waxing allows you to target small or sensitive areas like eyebrows or bikini lines. Eyebrow wax, bikini wax, and Brazilian wax have exfoliating qualities that minimize irritation compared to other methods like shaving. Waxing is a preferred choice for defined results without nicks or cuts.
What to Expect During Your Waxing Treatment
1. At-home preparation
Refrain from taking a shower or bath immediately before your treatment, although make sure the area is clean and the hair is long enough for waxing. You should also avoid certain medications and products that make the skin more sensitive and increase the likelihood of irritation or other complications. Our team can guide you as you prepare for your treatment at home.
2. Preparation during your appointment
Your wax technician will assist you into a comfortable position and clean your skin to remove any lotions, soap residue, sebum, and impurities. They will then prepare the wax.
3. Wax treatment
Once the wax is ready, your technician will apply the wax to your skin, removing it in quick motions to remove the hair. Feel free to let your technician know if you’d like to take a break or if anything feels amiss.
4. Post-wax care
When your treatment is complete, your specialist will apply a moisturizer to the freshly waxed skin. You may have temporary redness or minor irritation and itchiness for a day or two. Proper post-wax care can alleviate these symptoms. Be sure to exfoliate one to two times per week after to prevent ingrown hairs.
