Waxing versus IPL

Preparation before waxing:
To wax it correctly, the hair must be at least half an inch long. It is essential that you no longer shave the hair between wax treatments. A few days before waxing, it is good to lightly exfoliate the skin with a scrub cream or scrub glove. It removes dead skin cells and loosens ingrown hairs. The wax takes better hold on clean, dry skin, so do not use body lotion for the treatment. And, of course, you come to your wax treatment freshly washed. There is, however, an opportunity to refresh yourself.

Hypoallergenic wax
With a Brazilian wax, we wax with a hypoallergenic gold-colored film wax (hard wax) that is ideal for sensitive skin. The wax does not break or crumble and is extra flexible, ensuring that this waxing is less painful than regular waxing. And because this wax mainly sticks to the hair and not the skin.

We strive to make the treatment as painless as possible. But it remains sensitive. The first few times we remove your hair, it could be slightly more sensitive because the hair roots are still firm. The more often you are waxed, the less hair growth will become thinner and, therefore, less painful.

After treatment
After the treatment, the skin may be redder for 24 hours. You are, therefore, not allowed to sunbathe or take a tanning bed, sauna, or in a bath or shower that is too hot. Also, do not use too perfumed products such as Rituals after and before a wax treatment.

After three days, you can lightly exfoliate the skin from time to time. Do not wax if you use the following medication: Roaccutane, Differin, Isotrelitoin, Tretin-A, and Renova. Or consult with your doctor.
