Waxing

Waxing is the removal of unwanted hair usually found under the arm, bikini line and legs; however, any part of the body can be waxed.

The effects of waxing will last for between 4 to 6 weeks on the body, up to 2 weeks on the face. This will vary with the individual and re-growth is normally faster in the warmer months of the year. As the hair is removed from the root the hair grows back with a fine soft tip unlike when hair is shaved it feels rough to touch.

There are a number of conditions that are not suitable for waxing treatments such as varicose veins, thread veins, very sensitive skins and certain medical conditions that may affect the healing of the skin. The therapist can offer advice concerning these conditions and discuss alternative treatments.
