WHY OUR WAX FORMULA IS DIFFERENT
We use a botanical non-wax formula developed over 25 years ago to help plastic surgeons remove hair from patients before surgery. It is a natural, self-preserving antibacterial and antimicrobial, anhydrous botanical formula. It contains no wax, no sugar, and no honey.
- Our formula is not a traditional wax and does not stick to the skin like standard waxes.
- It is self-preserving, antibacterial, and antimicrobial, so it stays safe, clean, and germ-free.
- The formula is completely botanical and safe for use on the entire body.
- It does not dry on the skin and can be gently removed at any time.
- It has been scientifically tested and uses no animal products.
PRE-WAXING TIPS
A little prep goes a long way toward a smoother, more comfortable waxing experience.
- Do not shave or wax the area for at least three to four weeks before your treatment so hair is long enough to remove.
- For Brazilian and bikini waxes, trim any very long hair so it is between 1/4″ and 1/2″ in length.
- Female clients may notice heightened sensitivity during the week before or during menstruation.
- Limit caffeine intake on the day of your waxing service, since caffeine can increase sensitivity.
BEFORE WAXING RULES
To protect your skin, please avoid the following before your Austin body waxing appointment:
- Avoid using Retin-A or Renova on the treatment area for at least 30 days before waxing.
- Avoid Accutane for at least one year prior to your service.
- Avoid chemical peels (glycolic, AHA, etc.) or dermabrasion on the area for at least 24 hours before waxing.
- Avoid consuming excessive amounts of alcohol and avoid sunbathing for at least 48 hours beforehand.
- Skip self-tanners, exfoliants, or heavy moisturizers on the day of your service, as they can irritate freshly opened follicles.
AFTER WAXING RULES
After your wax, a few simple steps can help keep your skin calm and smooth.
- Minimize irritation by applying aloe vera gel or a light hydrocortisone cream to the treated area as needed.
- You may wash the waxed area, but avoid harsh cleansers or active creams for 24–48 hours.
- Stay away from hot tubs, hot showers, hot baths, and direct sun or tanning beds for at least 24–48 hours.
- For ingrown hairs, consider Flawless by Whish, available at BEAUX MedSpa.
- To prevent ingrown hairs, wait two to three days, then begin exfoliating the area regularly.
- Avoid shaving between waxing treatments to help maintain smoother regrowth.
