Wax treatment (hair removal with wax)
Are you considering removing hair? Would you like to try something other than shaving, tweezers and non-prescription hair removal creams?
Waxing can be used for hair removal on all parts of the body where unwanted hair growth is achieved. Growth can be carried out relatively easily if the proper method is used. With waxing, you avoid shaving several times a week and reducing the risk of red buds and caries. In addition, after waxing, the hair grows finer and softer than other hair removal methods and hair growth is reduced after each treatment.
Generally about the treatment
If you are tired of shaving and removing hair with tweezers, then waxing might be an option for you.
The wax treatment method uses hard wax vs soft wax to remove the hair at the root. There is a soft and hard version. The soft wax treatment method uses a thin layer of wax and fabric / paper strips to tear the hair off your body (against the hair growth).
The hard waxing technique uses a thick layer of wax and does not use strips, but rather the cured wax itself. This method is better for people with sensitive skin.
Waxing should preferably be done by a professional beautician (especially when it comes to people with sensitive skin or when the hair removal is done in a delicate area). The hair can grow back in as little as a week, but the regrowth of an average person takes between four and six weeks. Some people experience burns, buds and ingrown hair after treatment.
Who is suitable for waxing?
Everyone, men as well as women, can have hair removed with wax. Waxing is especially suitable for removing hair with deep roots.
The length of your hair should be a minimum of 0.5 cm and between 0.5-1.5 cm, to achieve the best result of waxing. The skin should be cleaned of creams and the like before treatment.
The procedure
First, the skin is cleaned. Then the wax is applied and subsequently covered with strips. When the wax is dry, remove the strips with a quick jerk so the hairs are torn out.
Finally, apply a soothing oil and hair-reducing cream. However, the pores are open for up to 24 hours after a wax treatment, so avoid strong sun and swimming pool. Avoid using creams, lotions, deodorants and the like on the day of wax treatment.
Waxing is usually repeated at 4-week intervals. Here, the hairs are again typically at least 5mm and in the growth phase. When the hairs grow in the growth phase, the best result is obtained.
