Most clients enjoy three to six weeks of smoothness depending on hair growth cycle and hormonal factors. Regular sessions can result in finer regrowth and longer intervals between appointments.

We use gentle waxes and expert technique to minimize irritation. A patch test is recommended for very reactive skin or rosacea, and therapists tailor temperature, timing and soothing post-care accordingly.

Ensure hair is about a quarter inch long for effective removal; avoid exfoliating 48 hours prior. Cleanse the area and skip heavy products or numbing creams to allow hygienic, precise waxing.

Temporary redness is normal and typically subsides within hours. Long-term hyperpigmentation is uncommon with professional waxing; follow aftercare guidance and avoid sun to reduce any darkening risk.

You can apply light makeup after two to four hours if skin feels calm. For best results wait until redness subsides and use clean, non-irritating products; avoid heavy makeup for 24 hours.

Typically schedule every three to six weeks based on individual growth and maintenance goals. Regular waxing often encourages finer regrowth and allows longer intervals between sessions over time.
