Waxing

Suitability

Who it's for

Anyone who wants smooth skin and longer-lasting results than shaving, with softer regrowth and fewer ingrown hairs over time. Suitable for most skin types and a welcoming choice for anyone who values a discreet, inclusive clinic.

What to expect

Expected results

Skin is left smooth straight away, and with regular waxing hair grows back finer and sparser. Results typically last three to four weeks depending on the area and your hair growth.

Preparation and aftercare

Pre-care and after-care

Pre-care advice

Let the hair grow to at least a quarter of an inch, around two weeks of growth, so the wax can grip it. Avoid sunbathing, hot baths and exfoliating on the day, and tell us if you use retinoids or other skin treatments as these can affect suitability.

After-care advice

Avoid heat, hot baths, saunas, swimming, exercise and tight clothing for 24 to 48 hours. Do not exfoliate for a couple of days, then exfoliate gently a few times a week to help prevent ingrown hairs, and keep the skin moisturised.

Downtime and recovery

There is no downtime. You can carry on with your day, simply avoiding heat, friction and tight clothing on the area for 24 to 48 hours.

Safety, risks and contraindications

Contraindications

Waxing may not be suitable over broken or irritated skin, sunburn, or if you use certain skin treatments such as retinoids. Let us know about any medication or skin conditions and we will advise.

Side effects and risks

Some redness, warmth or small bumps just after waxing are normal and settle within a few hours. Following your aftercare reduces the chance of irritation or ingrown hairs.
