Beth, Joan, Zahida and myself have been asking a few of our frequent spa goers if they have any questions about body waxing. The following is what we thought we should share. ( Answers to the most popular concerns)
Q- Does waxing hurt?
A- We use French Cream Wax which actually shrink wraps off of the skin and onto the hair shafts. This greatly reduces any discomfort.
Q- How does waxing compare to Sugaring?
A- Cream wax heats at a very low temperature and does not have a tendency to overheat, as opposed to sugar which can quickly reach a dangerous temperature. Cream wax does not require the repeated pulling and reapplication of the product to your skin that the non-strip sugar requires.
Q- Is waxing a safe choice for ethnic skin with a tendency towards developing ingrown hairs?
A-Due to the process of application and removal, inflammation is minimal if any. Ingrown hairs and hyper pigmentation as an end result is highly unlikely. Many of our clients rave that they have actually seen a reduction in ingrown hairs since they started waxing.
Q- My husband is interested in removing his back hair but is concerned about it looking unnatural. Would waxing be a good solution?
A- During the procedure, the bulk of the hair is removed on the center back. We then use a feathering process to blend the remaining hair to create a very natural appearance.
We hope this article sheds some light on the wonderful results of waxing.
We invite you to email us your skincare questions for future topics!
