Brazilian waxing differs from regular bikini waxing as hair is removed in the front, back and everything in between the genital area. During a Brazilian wax, a center strip is typically left in the front, but some women opt for everything removed.
At Body Beautiful Spa in Phoenix, expert Brazilian waxing is provided for women by licensed, experienced aestheticians.
Here are some do's and don'ts:
Yes, there can be some discomfort, but each person will have areas that are more and less sensitive. You can compare it to removing a band-aid from a hairy area of the body. Your tattoo hurt much worse. The area may remain a little pink for up to 24 hours if you have sensitive skin.
Usually your Brazilian wax will last about 4 weeks for the average person to keep it really smooth. Some are comfortable with up to 6 weeks of growth. Remember that if the hair gets over 1 inch long it is harder to work with.
Usually 2-3 weeks growth is enough in the bikini area for Brazilian waxing.
If the hair in the area to be waxed has never been clipped or shortened it would be OK if you trim it back to 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. This is a comfortable length to be removed.
No, there should be no stubble from the waxing the hair is removed not cut off. It will grow back slowly and softer as the ends are not blunt or scratchy when it does grow back. Not all hair grows back at the same rate so that keeps the hair less dense until it is all grown back. The only time the hair might break and create stubble is if it breaks because the growth direction cannot be determined.
After your waxing treatment you should wait at least 3 hours to shower to allow the pores of the skin in the waxed area to close. On the second day after your Brazilian you should start to exfoliate the waxed area. This is done to insure the waxed area does not get any ingrown hairs. With more waxing treatments the hair will grow back slower, finer and with less density.
Yes, it is possible to wax several areas at the same time and many like to do just that. When you make your appointment be sure to mention all the areas you would like to have waxed. This will insure the preparation is completed for your Brazilian waxing as well as any other waxing needs.
