POST-CARE

Sugaring services

After your appointment

  • Avoid touching your freshly sugared area with dirty hands.

  • Hot baths or hot tubs after sugaring may increase skin sensitivity and is not advised. Salt water pools and tubs are okay.

  • Avoid working out for 24 hours after your service as perspiration may irritate the skin directly after treatment.

  • Skin spotting

    Tiny red spots may appear on the skin for a few hours, or even a day or so in some cases. If this should happen, do not be alarmed. This is just an indication that the hairs have been removed from the follicle and it is quite normal after a treatment. They will disappear.

  • Avoid sun tanning for at least 24 hours after your sugaring appointment, as sugared skin will be more sensitive to the UV rays.

  • IN-GROWN HAIRS.

    To prevent this from happening you should soak 3 times per week in lukewarm water with a 1/2 cup of dead sea salts for 10 minutes. Exfoliate for a few more minutes. Be sure to re-hydrate your skin afterwards with body lotion. Ask your technician for suggestions to suit your personal requirements. The use of a topical agent such as Tend-Skin or In-B-Gone on a regular basis will help prevent ingrown hairs from forming and heal any active ones you do have.

if you have sensitive skin.

  • Sting and redness.

    To take away the sting and to reduce redness, apply an ice cold compress two to three times for about 2-3 minutes at a time.

    You may develop some whiteheads in this area but they seldom appear with subsequent treatments.

  • no exfoliation.

    Exfoliation should be avoided for 24 hours after treatment as this can irritate sensitive skin.

  • avoid irritant products.

    Do not use perfumed soap or products with chemical irritants on treated area within 24 hours of your treatment.

YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT.

The best results occur when you establish a consistent routine suitable to your hair growth.

  • The usual time span between appointments is 4-6 weeks. Perhaps a little more often in the summer. It is important to note that due to the changes that may occur in your hormonal balance from time to time, you may have unusually heavy growth perhaps once a year. This is quite normal. Keep in mind that the reduction of hair growth will occur gradually, despite the occasional heavy growth and this doesn't mean that the treatment isn't working or that your hair growth is being stimulated.

  • If you have been shaving, the first treatment is the worst, due to the fact that the bulb at the base of the hair shaft is enlarged. The more treatments you receive, the weaker the roots get and the easier it is to remove the hair. Due to the way hair grows, it will take a few months to replace the shaven hair with a natural hair growth.
