Suggestions for your Brazilian Treatment

The following are some suggestions to make sure that you get the most out of your brazilian or bikini wax:		 Brazilian Wax

Before Treatment

  1. 3-4 weeks of hair growth is ideal for waxing. All hair should be a minimum on ¼ of an inch long.
  2. Prior to waxing trim all hair to a ¼ of an inch but no shorter. This will really help minimize discomfort.
  3. If you prefer take a pain reliever 45-60 minutes before waxing - it will help with the discomfort.
  4. Consult the esthetician prior to the treatment if you are taking Retin A or Accutane
  5. Ideally, the client will have little or no caffeine in their system. Caffeine heightens sensitivity.
  6. Skin tends to be more sensitive 2-3 days prior to your monthly cycle.
  7. If you are really nervous and/or sensitive you can purchase EMLA cream with a prescription from your doctor which numbs the area and will greatly minimize the pain. This must be applied approximately 1 hour prior waxing.
  8. Most importantly, RELAX! It will be a lot less painful than you think and you will be loving the results!

Homecare

  1. After you wax apply a cold compress to the area for 20 minutes.
  2. Exfoliate area starting 1 week after waxing
  3. Use PFB and Tea Tree products regularly to prevent ingrowns
  4. Avoid sun for 1 week
  5. Avoid hot baths or showers for 1 day
  6. Wear loose fitting pants and undergarments for the first 24 hours.
  7. Refrain from intimate activity for the first 24 hours.
