Back and shoulder waxing in Berlin
Hair removal is a personal decision and can be chosen for aesthetic, hygienic or simply personal reasons. Below you will find out what you should know before treating your back and shoulders with waxing in the hair removal studio.
- Understand the process: Waxing is a form of depilation that involves removing hair at the root. Warm wax is applied to the skin, stroked in the direction of hair growth, and then quickly peeled off, taking the hair with it.
- Skin Preparation: Skin should be clean and dry, free of oils or lotions, before treatment. to exfoliate the skin before waxing
- Hair length: The hair should be at least 0.4 long, i.e. about the length of a grain of rice. If the hair is too short, the wax cannot “grab” enough hair to effectively remove it.
- Pain Management: Waxing can be painful, especially when done for the first time.
- Aftercare: After waxing, the skin may be sensitive and red. Avoid direct sunlight, hot showers or baths, and applying scented products for at least 24 hours after treatment.
- Regular Sessions: For optimal results, you should schedule a waxing appointment every four to six weeks. Over time, hair becomes finer and growth slows.
The most important thing is that you choose a professional studio that focuses on hygiene and customer satisfaction. It's normal to be nervous when going for waxing for the first time, but our depiladoras will make you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
How does the treatment work?
Removing hair from the back and shoulders with warm wax in a hair removal salon is a common procedure and offers many benefits, including smooth skin for weeks and slow and fine hair growth.
Treatment steps
Before the actual treatment begins, your therapist will probably ask you to uncover 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 your hair growth. It is done in small sections, usually starting at the bottom of the back and working upwards.
Once the wax has cooled and hardened, it is quickly peeled off in the opposite direction of hair growth. This pulls the hair out at the root.
After the wax is removed, the depiladora will apply a soothing lotion or gel to soothe irritation and reduce redness.
Your therapist will give you instructions on how to care for your skin after the treatment. This may include avoiding sunlight, hot water, and certain skin products for a period of time.
Remember that it is normal to feel some level of discomfort, especially if it is your first time. After a few sessions, you will likely notice that the process becomes less painful as the hair grows back thinner and less dense.
If you experience any type of pain or persistent skin irritation after treatment, you should contact the studio or a doctor immediately. It's important to listen to your body and take proper care of it.
Benefits of treatment
Hot wax hair removal offers many benefits, 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 hair at the surface of the skin, waxing removes hair at the root. This means the skin stays smooth for longer, usually between three and six weeks.
- Finer and easier hair growth: Because waxing removes hair at the root, it can cause the hair that grows back to be finer and less noticeable. Over time, regular waxing can even slow hair growth.
- Smooth Skin: Waxing not only removes hair but also dead skin cells. This results in particularly smooth and soft skin as light exfoliation occurs.
- Less skin irritation: Compared to shaving, which can often lead to skin irritation and ingrown hairs, the risk of waxing is lower, especially if proper aftercare is followed.
- Efficiency on 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.
- Preventing stubble: Because the hair is removed at the root, the new hairs grow back softly, unlike the hard stubble that can appear after shaving.
- Self-confidence and well-being: Many people report feeling more confident and comfortable in their skin after a waxing treatment.
However, it is important to remember that every person is different and experiences and results may vary. The choice of hair removal method should be based on individual needs, skin type and personal comfort.
