Waxing is a popular method for removing unwanted hair from nearly any part of the body. This method involves applying a layer of wax to the skin, allowing the wax to adhere to the hair, and then quickly removing the wax, pulling the hair out from the root.
We mostly use hard wax, which is particularly effective for sensitive areas.
The frequency of waxing depends on your hair growth, but it is typically recommended every 3 to 6 weeks. This allows the hair to grow long enough for the wax to effectively grip it.

A histamine reaction after waxing is a very common and normal immune response by your body. It doesn't mean you're allergic to the wax itself, but rather that your skin perceives the hair being pulled from the follicle as a minor trauma or "attack."

It is crucial to inform your esthetician about any medications or skin conditions you have before your waxing appointment.
