Waxing

Let the hairs grow out—ideally, they should be about 6mm long, so the wax can grip them properly. Don't shave the area immediately before your appointment. Moisturize your skin with a moisturizing lotion a few days before your treatment—this will make hair removal easier.

Please arrive with clean skin, free of oils and greasy lotions in the treatment area. Choose loose clothing that won't chafe your skin after the treatment. Please inform us of any allergies, medications, or cosmetics containing retinol or acids.

You may feel a short, more intense pull during hair removal. Sensitivity depends on the area of the body, the type of hair, and your individual pain sensitivity.

We use Depilève products, tailoring the hair removal method to your skin type. If you need a break, let us know—we work at a pace you're comfortable with.

Waxing removes hair from the root, so the smoothness lasts longer than shaving. However, hair grows back at different rates, so the time until the next appointment varies from person to person. Waxing weakens hair, so it grows back thinner and weaker over time.

Schedule your next treatment when your hair has reached the desired length. Regular visits will help you maintain your chosen care routine—we'll tailor the appointment to the area being treated and your hair's rate of regrowth.

For the first 24–48 hours, and longer if your skin is still irritated, avoid saunas, swimming pools, hot baths, intense exercise and sunbathing.

Wear loose clothing, avoid rubbing your skin, and choose gentle, fragrance-free skincare. Avoid using deodorant immediately after shaving your armpits if it causes a burning sensation.

Only exfoliate after the redness and tenderness have subsided. If irritation worsens or persists for more than two days, consult a dermatologist.

Main contraindications to waxing: Open wounds, abrasions and unhealed scars in the area of depilation.

Sunburn or severely irritated skin.

Active skin infections, herpes and purulent lesions.

Exacerbation of eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis in the depilated area.

Allergy to ingredients of wax or care products.

Use of oral isotretinoin or discontinuation of treatment within the last six months.

The use of topical retinoids in the hair removal area requires prior arrangement of an appropriate break.

Recent chemical peel, laser, or other exfoliating treatment - until skin recovers.

Varicose veins in the area of planned hair removal - do not apply wax to them.

Healing, circulation, sensation or clotting disorders

Taking anticoagulants or medications that increase skin fragility
