Trim or allow hair to reach about 1/4 inch (6 mm). Exfoliate a day before and avoid heavy lotions, sun exposure, or blood-thinning medications. Arrive clean-skinned so your esthetician can deliver safe, even waxing results.

Most clients enjoy smooth forearms for three to four weeks; timing varies with personal hair growth, hormones, and previous waxing history. Regular waxing often lengthens intervals and produces finer, sparser regrowth over time.

A brief sting or tug is normal, especially on first sessions. Skilled estheticians use proper technique, soothing pressure, and immediate aftercare to reduce discomfort. Topical numbing creams are available by request; communication helps tailor the experience for greater comfort.

After waxing, avoid hot baths, saunas, intense workouts, and direct sun for 24 to 48 hours. Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers and skip harsh scrubs for two days. Begin light exfoliation after 48 hours to prevent ingrown hairs and maintain smooth results.

If you have sensitive skin or take medications, book a patch test first. Inform us about prescriptions like retinoids or blood thinners — some treatments require waiting periods. Our estheticians adapt technique and aftercare to minimize irritation and ensure safe waxing.

Schedule touch-ups every three to four weeks for consistent smoothness. Individual cycles vary, so follow-up timing may differ. With regular waxing most clients can extend intervals gradually as hair grows back finer, leading to longer-lasting and sparser regrowth.
