Waxing is a semi-permanent hair removal method where warm wax is applied to the desired area and then quickly removed, pulling out hair from the root.

Typically, results last between 3 to 6 weeks, depending on individual hair growth rates and the area waxed.

Everyone's pain threshold varies, but there is usually some discomfort during the process, especially for first-timers. The sensation becomes more tolerable with regular sessions.

While there are home waxing kits available, it's recommended to get waxing done by professionals, especially for areas that are hard to reach or more sensitive.

Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, face, and more.

Ideally, hair should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long for effective waxing. Too short might not allow the wax to grip well, and too long might cause more discomfort.

After waxing, it's advisable to avoid sun exposure, saunas, and heavily fragranced products for 24 hours. Wearing loose clothing and exfoliating the area gently after a couple of days can prevent ingrown hairs.

Hot wax is applied in a thick layer and removed without strips, making it suitable for sensitive areas like the bikini line or face. Strip wax is applied thinly and removed with a paper or cloth strip, often used for larger areas like legs or arms.

While waxing is generally safe, those with very sensitive skin or certain skin conditions should consult with a professional or dermatologist before waxing.

Individuals on certain medications, like Accutane, or those with sunburn, cuts, or abrasions should avoid waxing. Always consult with a waxing professional about any skin concerns.
