Please follow the guidelines below to ensure your skin is cared for properly over the next few days.

Please note: some slight soreness, small bumps and redness are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions, particularly if this is your first wax. These symptoms should subside over the next 24-48 hours. If you experience persistent redness or irritation, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

• Keep the waxed area clean, avoid heat and friction during the next 24-48 hours.

This means:

• No hot baths or showers (lukewarm or cool water only).
• No saunas, hot tubs or steam treatments.
• No tanning (sunbathing, sun beds or fake tans).
• No sport, gym work or other exercises.
• Avoid scratching or touching the treated area with unwashed hands.
• Wear clean, loose-fitting clothes.
• Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools.
• Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or other products to the area, other than those recommended by your therapist.
• To soothe and protect the skin, apply an antiseptic cream to the waxed area regularly for 3 days following your treatment. Always wash your hands before applying any product.
• To prevent ingrown hairs: starting a few days after your appointment, gently scrub the skin 3 times a week in the bath or shower using a loofah or exfoliating mitt. Also moisturise the area every day, which will keep the skin supple and help new hairs to grow normally.  
• You may notice a small amount of regrowth after a week or so. It can take up to 4 treatments for your hair to get on a growth cycle that gives the best results. Hair needs to be at least 1/2 cm long before it can be successfully removed by waxing; please do not shave between appointments. To maintain your smooth appearance, we recommend regular waxing every 4-6 weeks.
