Facial waxing is a popular hair removal method that involves using heated wax to remove unwanted facial hair. It is a quick and effective way of getting rid of excess hair on the face, such as peach fuzz, eyebrow hairs, and upper lip hair.

Why Choose Facial Waxing?

Facial waxing has several benefits, making it a preferred method of hair removal for many individuals. Some of the reasons why you should choose facial waxing are:

• Removes hair from the root: Unlike shaving or using depilatory creams, facial waxing removes hair from the root. This means that it takes longer for the hair to grow back, and when it does, it is finer and softer.
• Exfoliates the skin: The act of waxing also helps exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells. This leaves your skin feeling smooth and looking radiant.
• Long-lasting results: With facial waxing, you can enjoy hair-free skin for up to 6 weeks. This is much longer compared to other methods of hair removal.
• Precision: Facial waxing allows for precise shaping and definition, making it a great option for eyebrow grooming.

What to Expect During a Facial Waxing Session

At Dimensions Family Practice and Medspa, our trained estheticians will guide you through the facial waxing process. The steps involved include:

1. Cleansing: Before the wax is applied, the esthetician will cleanse your face to remove any dirt or makeup.
2. Application of wax: The heated wax is applied on the desired area using a spatula in the direction of hair growth.
3. Placing a strip: A cloth or paper strip is then placed over the wax and pressed down firmly.
4. Quick removal: The provider will quickly pull off the strip in the opposite direction of hair growth, removing the wax and hair.
5. Soothing and post-wax care: After the waxing is complete, a soothing lotion may be applied to calm down any redness or irritation. The esthetician will also provide you with post-wax care instructions to ensure your skin stays smooth and healthy.

Preparing for a Facial Waxing Session

To ensure the best results and minimize any potential discomfort, it is important to prepare your skin before a facial waxing session. Here are some tips to follow:

• Avoid sun exposure: It is recommended to avoid prolonged sun exposure at least 24 hours before and after a facial waxing session.
• Do not exfoliate: Refrain from exfoliating your skin a day before and after waxing.
• Let hair grow out: The hair should be at least ¼ inch long for the wax to properly grip onto it.
• Cleanse your face: Make sure to cleanse your face thoroughly before the appointment to remove any dirt, makeup, or oils that may interfere with the waxing process.
