Waxing of back and shoulders in Berlin
Hair removal is a personal decision and can be chosen for aesthetic, hygienic, or simply personal reasons. Below you will find information on what you should know before undergoing waxing treatment for your back and shoulders at a hair removal studio.
- Understand the process: Waxing is a form of hair removal where hair is removed at the root. Warm wax is applied to the skin, swiped in the direction of hair growth, and then quickly pulled off, taking the hair with it.
- Skin preparation: The skin should be clean and dry before treatment, free of oils or lotions. It is recommended to exfoliate the skin before waxing to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.
- Hair length: The hair should be at least 0.4 mm long, about the length of a grain of rice. If the hair is too short, the wax cannot grip enough hair to remove it effectively.
- Pain management: Waxing can be painful, especially the first time it is done.
- Aftercare: After waxing, the skin may be sensitive and reddened. Avoid direct sunlight, hot showers or baths, and the application of perfumed products for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
- Regular sessions: To achieve optimal results, you should schedule a waxing appointment every four to six weeks. Over time, the hair becomes finer and its growth slows down.
The most important thing is to choose a professional studio that focuses on hygiene and customer satisfaction. It's normal to be nervous the first time you go for waxing, but our depiladoras will make sure you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
How does the treatment work?
Hair removal on the back and shoulders with warm wax in a hair removal studio is a common procedure and offers many benefits, including smooth skin for weeks and slow and fine hair regrowth.
Treatment steps
Before the actual treatment begins, your therapist will likely ask you to undress your upper body. The therapist will then cleanse your skin to remove sweat, oils, and lotions.
Our depiladora will apply the warm wax to your skin in the direction of hair growth. This will be done in small sections, usually starting at the bottom of your back and working upwards.
Once the wax has cooled and hardened, it is quickly pulled off in the opposite direction of hair growth. This pulls the hairs out at the root.
After the wax has been removed, the depiladora will apply a soothing lotion or gel to relieve irritation and reduce redness.
Your therapist will give you instructions for caring for your skin after the treatment. This may include avoiding sunlight, hot water, and certain skin products for a specific period of time.
Keep in mind that it's normal to experience some discomfort, especially if it's your first time. After a few sessions, you'll likely find the process becomes less painful as the hair grows back thinner and less densely.
If you experience any pain or persistent skin irritation after treatment, please contact the studio or a doctor immediately. It is important to listen to your body and take proper care of it.
Benefits of treatment
Hair removal with warm wax offers many advantages, especially when used on larger areas such as the back and shoulders. Here are some of the main benefits:
- Long-lasting results: Compared to shaving, which only cuts the hair at the skin's surface, waxing removes the hair at the root. This means that the skin stays smooth for longer, usually between three and six weeks.
- Finer and lighter hair growth: Because waxing removes hair at the root, it can result in finer and less noticeable regrowth. Over time, regular waxing can even slow hair growth.
- Smooth skin: Waxing removes not only hair but also dead skin cells. This results in particularly smooth and soft skin, as a gentle exfoliation takes place.
- Less skin irritation: Compared to shaving, which can often lead to skin irritation and ingrown hairs, the risk is lower with waxing, especially if proper aftercare is followed.
- Efficiency for large areas: Waxing is an efficient method for hair removal on large areas of the body, such as the back and shoulders. An experienced professional can treat these areas quickly and effectively.
- Avoiding stubble: Because the hair is removed at the root, the new hairs grow back soft, unlike the hard stubble that can occur after shaving.
- Self-confidence and well-being: Many people report feeling more confident and comfortable in their own skin after a waxing treatment.
However, it's important to remember that everyone is different and experiences and results can vary. The choice of hair removal method should be based on individual needs, skin type, and personal comfort.
