What is an Underarm Wax?
Underarm waxing is a process that removes the hair from the root, providing a significantly longer period of smoothness (typically 2-4 weeks) compared to daily shaving. Because the underarm area is highly sensitive and hair often grows in multiple directions, many people prefer hard wax for this treatment as it adheres to the hair and not the skin, making the process less painful.
The Process
The underarm wax process begins with cleansing and drying the skin to remove any residue from deodorant or oils. Warm wax is then applied in sections, following the various directions of hair growth in the underarm. The wax is swiftly removed against the direction of hair growth to pull the hair from the root, often requiring the client to hold the skin taut. The treatment concludes with a soothing post-wax oil or lotion to calm the sensitive skin.
Benefits of this Service
- Longer-Lasting Smoothness: Results can last for several weeks since the entire hair follicle is removed.
- Finer Regrowth: Consistent waxing can cause the hair to grow back finer, softer, and more sparse over time.
- Natural Exfoliation: The process removes surface-level dead skin cells, which can help brighten the underarm area.
- Reduced Ingrown Hairs: Compared to shaving, waxing often results in fewer ingrown hairs because it pulls the hair completely from the root.
Aftercare Instructions
- Wait 24 Hours to Apply Deodorant/Perfume: The skin is highly sensitive, and ingredients like alcohol or fragrance can cause irritation, stinging, and clogged pores.
- Avoid Heat and Steam: Skip hot baths, saunas, hot tubs, and steam rooms for 24-48 hours to prevent swelling and minimize the risk of infection.
- Wear Loose Clothing: Choose loose-fitting, breathable fabrics (like cotton) to prevent rubbing and allow the sensitive skin to heal.
- Moisturize Daily: Keep the area hydrated with a mild, unscented lotion or oil once the skin is no longer red or tender.
- No Intense Exercise: Avoid strenuous activity that causes excessive sweating or friction for 24 hours, as sweat introduces bacteria to open follicles.
