At Silkskin Wax Specialist, we offer both hot wax and strip wax for body waxing. The choice of wax depends on the area being treated and your skin’s sensitivity. Each method delivers smooth, long-lasting results, but they work slightly differently.
Hot wax (also known as hard wax) is applied directly to the skin and allowed to cool before being gently removed without the use of strips.
It grips the hair, not the skin, making it ideal for sensitive areas and those prone to irritation.

Benefits:
Strip wax (or warm wax) is applied thinly over the skin and removed with a paper or fabric strip.
It’s the traditional and efficient method, perfect for large body areas.

Benefits:
If you have sensitive skin or prefer a more comfortable experience, hot wax is the perfect choice — even for body treatments.
For larger areas, strip wax is faster and effective for a smooth, clean result.
At Silkskin, you can choose your preferred wax type when booking, ensuring every treatment is tailored to your comfort.
