Clean and exfoliate lightly 24-48 hours before to remove dead skin, avoid moisturizers on the day, and ensure hair is about 1/4 inch long. Avoid sunburns, tanning, and blood-thinners to reduce irritation and sensitivity.

You may feel brief stinging as hair is removed, but trained technicians use techniques to minimize pain. Discomfort typically subsides within minutes to a few hours. Apply cool compresses and soothing lotion after waxing to calm the skin.

Results usually last three to six weeks depending on hair growth cycles and individual factors. With regular waxing, hair often regrows finer and sparser. Scheduling appointments every four to six weeks helps maintain consistently smooth lower legs.

Active sunburn, open wounds, dermatitis, recent chemical peels, or use of certain topical retinoids/accutane may contraindicate waxing. Disclose sensitive skin or medical conditions during consultation; we can recommend alternatives or patch tests to ensure safety.

Avoid shaving between appointments because it removes regrowth that waxing targets. If you must remove stray hairs, use trimming instead. Shaving can interfere with the waxing cycle and shorten the duration of smooth results.

Avoid hot baths, saunas, heavy exercise, and direct sun for 24-48 hours. Wear loose clothing, apply soothing aloe or post-wax lotion, and exfoliate gently after 48 hours to prevent ingrown hairs. Contact us if prolonged irritation occurs.
