Does it hurt?
A wax combination is spread thinly over the skin. A cloth strip is pressed on the top and then ripped off with a quick movement, removing the wax along with the hair and dead skin cells leaving the skin smooth.

What is the effect on the skin?
As dead skin cells are removed in this process, the skin can feel quite smooth afterwards. The waxing action does cause the skin to sting and many find a soothing skin healing cream to be helpful afterwards. Some persons find the skin reacts with redness and bumps which disappear after a few hours.

On what body areas can waxing be used?
It is wise to test a small area first, but generally, waxing can be used on most parts of the body.

How long before hair reappears?
Typically between 3 and 8 weeks. Less hair regrows and it is finer. Eventually some hair never regrows.

What is Brazilian waxing?
Brazilian waxing refers to hair removal around the anus, perineum and vagina.

I'm too embarrassed to get a Brazilian. Can't I just do it myself?
There is no reason to be embarrassed. A brazilian wax is the best thing you'll ever do for yourself.

Don't try to wax this delicate area by yourself. It simply can't be done. You cannot apply the wax, hold the skin taut, get the right leverage, pull and pull quickly, all at the same time. It's not like waxing your legs where all the hair grows in the same direction. On the labia, for example, hairs tend to grow pell mell in more than one direction.

What about ingrowns?
This varies from individual to individual. I've had a few, minor in nature, but it's just like waxing any other part of your body. Ingrowns are possible. Use a washcloth and wash briskly in the shower and/or towel off briskly after bathing to discourage ingrowns. Based on getting other parts of your body waxed, you can make a pretty good judgment as to whether ingrowns may be problematic for you.

Does it hurt less the second time?
Yes! If you don't wait too long, the second time around the hairs will be shorter, thinner and sparser because they're not fully matured.
