How does the treatment work?
A professional arm waxing treatment at a waxing studio generally follows the following steps:
Treatment steps
Before treatment of the arms begins, the esthetician will conduct a brief consultation to ensure that there are no health concerns that could prevent waxing. These include skin diseases, allergies or taking certain medications. After the consultation, the beautician will thoroughly cleanse 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 to do this.
After the wax has cooled sufficiently and clung to the hair, it is quickly peeled off in the opposite direction of hair growth. This step can be a little painful, but our depiladoras' professional technique helps minimize the discomfort.
After all 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 advice on aftercare, including avoiding sun, heat, and harsh peels for a few days.
- Finally, the beautician will discuss with you the optimal frequency for your waxing treatments, depending on how quickly and thickly your hair grows back. In general, it may be necessary to repeat the wax treatment every 4-6 weeks.
Benefits of treatment
Waxing is a popular hair removal method for many areas of the body, including the upper and lower arms. It offers several advantages over other methods of hair removal such as shaving or depilatory creams:
- Long-lasting results : Because the wax removes the hair at the root, the hair grows back more slowly than shaving, which only removes the surface of the hair. Results can last up to 4-6 weeks depending on individual hair growth.
- Smoother skin : After waxing, skin often feels smoother because the hair that grows back has a finer tip than shaved hair that is trimmed bluntly.
- Less hair growth over time : Regular waxing may cause hair to grow back thinner and less dense, as constantly pulling hair out at the root can affect hair growth over time.
- Exfoliation : The waxing process also removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, resulting in a type of exfoliation. 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 hair is removed. This is particularly helpful for shaping areas like the eyebrows, but can also be used on the arms if you only want to wax certain areas.
However, keep in mind that waxing can have some disadvantages, including pain during the treatment and possible skin irritation afterwards. It is important to consult an experienced professional and ensure that you take appropriate aftercare measures to minimize such side effects.
