What to Expect at Your Appointment
If you are considering facial waxing, here are some things you can expect during and after the process:
- Preparation: Before starting the waxing process, your esthetician will cleanse and exfoliate the area to remove any dirt or dead skin cells. This helps to ensure a smooth application of wax and better hair removal.
- Wax application: Once the area is prepped, the wax will be applied in the direction of hair growth. The wax used for facial waxing is usually a hard or soft stripless wax that adheres to the hair and not the skin.
- Wax removal: After allowing the wax to cool and harden, your esthetician will quickly pull off the wax in the opposite direction of hair growth. This removes the hair from the root, resulting in a smoother finish.
- Discomfort: Facial waxing can cause some discomfort, especially during the first few sessions. However, this can be minimized by choosing an experienced and skilled esthetician who knows how to handle sensitive areas of the face.
- Redness and irritation: After waxing, you may experience some redness and irritation in the treated area. This is normal and usually subsides within a few hours.
- Results: You can expect to have smooth and hair-free skin for about 3-4 weeks after waxing. The more you wax, the weaker your hair follicles become, resulting in slower and finer regrowth.
Facial Waxing Treatment Areas
Facial waxing can be done on various areas of the face, including:
- Eyebrows: This is a popular option for shaping and defining eyebrows. It is usually done using hot wax or threading.
- Upper lip: Waxing is an effective way to remove unwanted hair from the upper lip area, giving you a smooth and clean look.
- Chin: If you have fine hairs on your chin, waxing can help remove them and prevent them from becoming more noticeable.
- Sideburns: For those with excess hair on the sides of their face, waxing can provide a quick and long-lasting solution.
- Cheeks: Waxing the cheeks is an excellent way to remove any peach fuzz or unwanted hair that may be present in this area.
- Full face: Some people choose to get their entire face waxed for a more comprehensive and thorough hair removal process.
