Aftercare

Avoid extreme heat for 24 hrs. This includes very hot baths/showers, steam rooms, saunas and Jacuzzi’s. This aggravates the skin and the pores are still open, so you could pick up an infection from public places.

Exposure to UV light, including sun beds and sunbathing, must be avoided for 24 hours following treatment, as burning can occur.

A heat reaction may be seen on the skin for several hours following treatment and this is quite normal. This will vary from a mild redness to a much stronger skin reaction Iand some people have red dots on the waxed area for several hours. If aftercare advice is followed the skin will return to normal within 24 hours. If the reaction is still present after this time or worsens, it may be that you have had an allergic reaction to the wax, and you should get medical advice from your GP.

Waxing removes dead skin so the skin may be a little lighter immediately following treatment but colour will return to normal within a few hours. If any spots or rashes persist for more than a week, or become infected, you should see your GP

Deodorant or anything perfumed should not be applied to the area that has been waxed for 24-48 hours as this could make the area very sore. Make-up should be avoided following facial hair removal for that day although mineral make up is fine.

Tight clothing should be avoided following any waxing treatment for 24-48 hours as this can aggravate the area that’s been waxed.

Dry brush the area that has been waxed a couple of times a week. Get a brush that you would scrub your back with made from wood and bristle. Just before you step into the bath or shower, take the dry brush and brush your skin whilst it’s dry.

After you’ve bathed/showered, apply some baby oil or E45 lotion and you’ll see great results and this may help to avoid ingrown hairs
