Body Waxing Spa

At a body waxing spa, you can have hair removed from the roots from just about any area on your body. The results are quite enduring – lasting anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks. Some of the common areas that people have waxed are:

• Bikini areas;
• Arms;
• Legs;
• Chest and abdomen;
• Back;
• Hands and feet;
• Eyebrows;
• Facial hair;
• Full body wax;

Regular waxing sessions over the course of several years will cause the hairs to become weaker and grow back less frequently. In many cases, permanent hair removal is achieved.

The process for body waxing hair removal:

One of various types of wax substances is applied to the area where the hair is to be removed. In the case of pubic hair, beeswax is the preferred wax type. There are two techniques utilized for hair removal with waxing. One involves the use of cloth strips and a thin wax substance and the other involves the thicker wax substance and no cloth strips. In either case, the wax is applied while heated and allowed to cool. It is then ripped quickly off in the opposite direction that the hair grows. Discomfort and sometimes pain are associated, especially in the bikini regions. However, most people find that the discomfort subsides quickly and that negating the need to shave on a daily basis is worth it.

Areas of the body that should never be waxed:

• Ears;
• Nose;
• Eyelashes;
• Eyelids;
• Palms of the hands;
• Soles of the feet;

And of course, if you want to have your genitals or nipples waxed, you should definitely only allow a licensed professional to perform the procedure.

What characteristics does a candidate for body waxing demonstrate?

In the majority of cases, waxing the various areas of the body for hair removal is a generally safe practice. Very few complications arise. However, successful candidates for body waxing should possess a relatively strong immune system. Other than that, they just need to be prepared for the associated discomfort of the process. In addition, certain physicians recommend that those with diabetes and/or varicose veins do not engage in body waxing procedures. Also, body waxing should not be performed on areas that have pimples, warts, moles or rashes.

What are the benefits granted by a body waxing spa?

Millions of people around the planet utilize the services of body waxing spas. The benefits that they report are as follows:

• The elimination of the need to repetitively shave or use depilatory creams;
• Enhanced personal hygiene;
• A more youthful looking genital area;

• Time savings;
• Long-lasting smoothness;

This all sounds pretty good, but are their risks associated with body waxing?

There are some complications that may arise from undergoing body waxing procedures. Besides the commonly experienced redness and swelling that goes away quickly, a small percentage of individuals experience the following:

• Prolong swelling;
• Uncomfortable sensitivity in the waxed areas lasting up to five days;
• Ingrown hairs;
• Folliculitis – infection of the hair follicles;
• Abscesses of the hair follicles;
• Hair regrowth in various directions;
• Red bumps;
• Minor bleeding;
• Infection, especially in the mucus membrane areas of the genitals;

The bottom line about services offered at a body waxing spa:

Partial or full body waxing is a relatively harmless procedure to undergo. There are home kits for body waxing that are available over the counter. However, especially if you are waxing sensitive areas like your genitals or nipples; it is highly recommended to employ the services of a professional waxing specialist. Be prepared for mild to moderate discomfort levels. They will only be temporary – most of the time just lasting a few minutes. However, be mindful that a small percentage of waxing patients are burdened with moderate discomfort levels for several days. Most people agree that the benefits that they gain from waxing outweigh the discomfort that they experience. Be sure that the environment that you are waxing in is clean and that the experience levels of your waxing specialist are known and documented.
