WHY ARE WAXING TREATMENTS SO POPULAR?

Waxing has numerous advantages over other hair removal methods. It is a practical way to get rid of a lot of hair at once. It is a method that lasts a long time because hair won’t grow back in waxed places for two to eight weeks. Hair is cut off at the surface rather than the hair root when it is shaved or removed with depilatory lotion. The hair may return to the surface after a few days. These techniques frequently result in hair growing back as coarse stubble. Areas that have been waxed often over an extended period of time frequently show softer regrowth. Let us offer you hair-free, smooth skin!

WHY CHOOSE LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

BENEFITS OF WAXING AND LASER TREATMENTS

Eliminate ingrown hair – The worst type of hair is ingrown hair; however, waxing and laser hair removal can treat it. By permanently destroying the hair follicles at the root, both waxing and laser hair removal prevent hair regrowth, minimizing the risk of ingrown hairs.

Save time – A huge advantage of hair removal treatments like waxing or laser hair removal is that they save you time. By skipping time-consuming shaving and plucking, you can enjoy your life and spend more time doing what you want and less time in the bathroom.

No more cuts and itching – Say goodbye to razors and accidental skin cuts. You could gravely hurt yourself if the blades are overly sharp or you’re not paying attention while shaving.

No recovery or downtime – There is generally no downtime after waxing or laser hair removal. While the skin may be slightly red or sensitive in the treatment areas, this will subside within a few hours.

Quick and convenient – Waxing and laser hair removal are relatively fast processes, making them ideal if you have a busy schedule.

Laser And Waxing FAQs

How Long Does The Hair Need To Be In Order To Wax?

In the area where you intend to wax, your hair needs to be at least ¼ inch. That’s about the length of a grain of rice. Generally, it takes about 2 weeks of not shaving (bikini area) for hair to grow to this length. Hair that is shorter is not long enough to get “stuck” in the wax and be pulled out. If there’s any question, we can always try a test strip as some people can be waxed at less than ¼ inch.

How Long Does The Hair Need To Be For Laser Hair Removal?

For laser hair removal, shaving the treatment area altogether at least 24 hours before your appointment is required. This will help the laser target the follicles close to your skin rather than the overgrown hair and stubble. If you were not to shave, the hair would absorb the laser beams, leading to skin irritation and burns.

Is There Anything I Can Do To Make Waxing Hurt Less?

Some clients find that taking an ibuprofen before their treatment helps a little. Also, allowing the hair to grow a little longer than the required ¼ inch can help a little by reducing the amount of times we need to go over the area. Once you’ve begun waxing, the one thing you can do to reduce the pain is to STAY ON SCHEDULE with your appointments.

Is Waxing Safe For Sensitive Skin?

At Blue Water Spa, we only utilize top-quality materials designed to avoid irritating sensitive skin. We use a cream-based natural wax safe for delicate and sensitive skin types. After the waxing procedure, we use an after-waxing oil that relaxes, calms, and removes any leftover wax residue.

How Long Does Waxing Last?

In the beginning, you may experience more growth and random hairs popping up in the 1-2 weeks after your appointment than you would after waxing for a few months. Once you have been waxing for 3-6 months, you experience around 2 weeks free of hair with 1-2 weeks of some random hairs beginning to pop up and then proceeding to reach ¼ inch (bikini area). Most people are ready to wax again at about 4 weeks for bikini, 5 for backs, around 3 for legs (lower) and underarms, 2-5 for facial hair, upper legs 4-6 weeks. These are generalizations/estimates. It depends how long you have been waxing, how many active hair follicles you have, your after care, whether or not you’re shaving in between, the texture of your hair and how fast it grows, etc.

How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last?

Laser hair removal permanently reduces unwanted hair growth and can provide long-lasting results. Once you complete your treatment plan, you may not see new hair growth for years. Any hair regrowth will be much finer and lighter.

Does Body Waxing Cause Hair To Regrow Thicker?

No. This is a complete myth. Waxing, in fact, is known to actually stop hair growth all together in some cases. It is important to keep in mind though that waxing should be used as a temporary hair removal method as the slowing or stopping of hair growth takes many years of consistent waxing.

Does Laser Hair Removal Cause Hair To Regrow Thicker?

In extremely rare cases, laser hair removal can stimulate certain types of hair to grow denser and longer. However, most individuals experience clearer, smoother skin and a permanent reduction in hair growth. That being said, if your hair isn’t suitable for laser hair removal, your provider will let you know prior to starting the process.

How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Will I Need?

With laser hair removal, it may take a couple of sessions to achieve your desired results. A series of 6 to 12 sessions is recommended for optimal results. However, the number of sessions you will need depends on factors like the color and thickness of your hair, your skin tone, and your response to the treatment. With each session, you can expect your hair growth to become lighter and finer.

What Happens After I Complete 6 Laser Hair Removal Sessions?

Once you complete 6 sessions of laser hair removal, you can expect significant and permanent hair reduction in your treatment areas. While there may be some regrowth, you can expect a substantial reduction overall. On average, 1 to 2 annual touch up treatments per year will help you enjoy smooth, hair-free skin and keep unwanted hair at bay.

Should I Shave In Between Laser Hair Removal Sessions?

Yes, shaving in between laser hair removal sessions is fine, and shaving prior to your laser hair removal session is a must. This will help eliminate any hairs and stubble above the skin’s surface so the laser can precisely target your hair follicles. Over time, your skin will become smoother, and you will notice you do not need to shave as frequently.
TESTIMONIALS

“Bringing my teenage son who is experiencing severe acne. The spa is incredibly inviting and the esthetician Tatiana who is working with him is super attentive. The fact that my son, who was resistant to even using a toner at home, is now asking to go back for follow up facials says it all. Wonderful place.”
