Here we describe the typical process of an arm waxing treatment in our studio. The process begins with a consultation and preparation, followed by the actual waxing Waxing and concludes with aftercare and maintenance instructions. It's important to note that every person and every skin type is unique, and therefore individual experiences and results can vary. Nevertheless, the following steps should provide a good overview of what you can expect from a professional arm waxing treatment.
How does the treatment work?
A professional waxing treatment for the arms in a waxing studio generally follows these steps:
Treatment steps
Before the arm treatment begins, the esthetician conducts a brief consultation to ensure there are no health concerns that could prevent a waxing treatment. These include skin conditions, allergies, or the use of certain medications. After the consultation, the esthetician thoroughly cleanses your arms to remove oil, dirt, and dead skin cells.
In the next step, the beautician warms the wax to a comfortable temperature and applies it to your arms in the direction of hair growth. She uses a spatula for this.
Once the wax has cooled sufficiently and adhered to the hair, it is quickly pulled off in the opposite direction of hair growth. This step can be somewhat painful, but the professional technique of our depiladoras helps to minimize discomfort.
After all the hair has been removed, the esthetician will apply a soothing lotion or aloe vera gel to your arms to relieve any redness or irritation. She will also give you aftercare advice, including avoiding sun, heat, and harsh scrubs for a few days.
- Finally, the beautician will discuss the optimal frequency for your waxing treatments with you, depending on how quickly and thickly your hair grows back. Generally, it may be necessary to repeat the waxing treatment every 4-6 weeks.
Benefits of treatment
Waxing is a popular method of hair removal for many areas of the body, including the upper and lower arms. It offers several advantages over other hair removal methods such as shaving or depilatory creams:
- Long-lasting results : Because wax removes the hair at the root, hair grows back more slowly than with shaving, which only removes the surface of the hair. Depending on individual hair growth, the results can last up to 4-6 weeks.
- Smoother skin : After waxing, the skin often feels smoother because the regrowing hair has a finer tip than shaved hair, which is cut bluntly.
- Reduced hair growth over time : With regular waxing, hair may grow back thinner and less dense, as constantly pulling the hair out at the root can impair hair growth over time.
- Exfoliation : The waxing process also removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, resulting in a kind of peeling. This can make your skin look and feel softer and smoother.
- Precision : Wax can be applied precisely to specific areas, giving you more control over which hairs are removed. This is especially helpful for shaping areas like eyebrows, but can also be used on arms if you only want to wax certain areas.
However, be aware that waxing can have some drawbacks, including pain during the treatment and possible skin irritation afterward. It is important to consult an experienced professional and ensure you follow proper aftercare instructions to minimize such side effects.
