Most clients experience smoothness for two to six weeks. Timing varies with individual hair growth cycles, hormones, and maintenance routines. Regular waxing can slow regrowth and make hair finer over time. We can recommend a schedule based on your results.

Sensitivity varies; many clients feel brief stinging during strip removal but the treatment is quick. Our technicians use techniques to reduce discomfort and apply calming products afterward. Taking over-the-counter pain relief beforehand can help if you're particularly sensitive.

Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin and avoid topical retinoids or heavy exfoliants for several days. Let hair be a quarter-inch long for best results. Avoid tanning and schedule around sensitivities to minimize irritation.

Temporary redness, minor swelling, or follicle bumps can occur but typically subside within a few hours to two days. Following aftercare—cool compresses and avoiding heat—helps healing. Contact us if you experience prolonged irritation or signs of infection.

Most clients return every three to five weeks depending on personal growth and desired smoothness. Regular appointments can thin hair and extend time between sessions. We’ll assess your regrowth and recommend a customized maintenance plan during your visit.

Avoid waxing if you use retinoids or strong exfoliants within seven days, as these increase peeling and sensitivity. Discontinue such products beforehand and let your skin recover. If unsure, consult our esthetician to set a safe timeline before booking.
