WAXING & THREADING

Waxing Aftercare Instructions and Advice

Please follow the after-treatment guidelines below to ensure your skin is cared for properly.

Please note: slight soreness, small bumps, and redness are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions, particularly if this is your first wax. You can apply A&E First Aid All Purpose Ointment or aseptic cream, Aloe Vera gel, and/or ice to the treated area following your treatment to help alleviate these. Always wash your hands before applying any product.

• Keep the waxed area clean and avoid heat and friction during the next 24-48 hours:
• No hot baths or showers (cool to lukewarm water only).
• No saunas, hot tubs, or steam treatments.
• No tanning (sunbathing, sunbeds or fake tans).
• No sport, gym work, or other exercise.
• Avoid scratching or touching the treated area with unwashed hands.
• Wear clean, loose fitting clothes.
• Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools.
• Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotion, perfumed products or other products to the treated area for 24 hours.
• After 24 Hours it is vital that you use a good quality moisturiser.
• Do not undertake any other skincare treatments within 48 hours of having a waxing treatment.
• For long-term improvements, book regular treatments (every 4-6 weeks). You may notice a small amount of re-growth after a week or so.  It can take up to four treatments for your hair to get on a growth cycle that gives the best results. Hair needs to be at least 5mm long before it can be successfully removed by waxing so do not shave between treatments.
• For in-grown hairs use an exfoliator or extract with tweezers.
