When you’re a first-time waxer, treatment may sound daunting, especially in more intimate areas.
However, waxing performed by trained professionals—like those at Evolve Medical Aesthetics + Wellness—is safe and effective.
Our aestheticians walk you through each step of the treatment process, guiding your expectations and aftercare for the smoothest possible results.
Keep reading to learn how you can prepare for treatment, or schedule your appointment for a facial, underarm, or Brazilian wax in Muncie, Indiana.
Priming Your Skin for a Waxing Session
Prior to your appointment, take a few simple steps to support maximum efficacy and comfort.
Typically, our aestheticians advise that you:
- Allow the hair in the treatment area to grow for 3 to 4 weeks to ensure the hair is at least ¼ inch long. This length gives the wax enough hair to adhere to.
- Protect the treatment area from direct sun exposure in the days leading up to treatment.
- Exfoliate 24 to 48 hours before your wax.
- Avoid applying heavy or oil-based moisturizers within 24 hours of your appointment.
- Limit your alcoholic or caffeinated beverages on the day of treatment, as they can increase your body’s sensitivity to pain.
- Take ibuprofen a few hours before your waxing session, if desired.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your session.
- Arrive at your appointment with clean, dry skin.
Waxing Away Unwanted Hairs
Our talented aestheticians perform each of our waxing services with skill and precision. Whether you hope to define your brows or achieve smoother skin for bathing-suit season, your provider tailors your waxing session to your goals, skin sensitivity, and hair type.
Brow Wax
During a brow waxing session, your aesthetician maps out the desired shape, then applies the warm wax, removing it in short, rapid strokes. The wax pulls out the unwanted hairs around and between your brows, preserving the skin below and artfully shaping the remaining hairs.
Underarm Wax
To care for your underarms, your aesthetician quickly removes the wax, leaving behind smooth, hair-free skin that minimizes your need for shaving.
Brazilian Wax
When waxing your intimate areas, our providers approach treatment with care and discretion. Your aesthetician carefully waxes away hair from the entire pubic region, including the:
- Upper thighs
- Labia
- Buttocks
Many clients feel more confident in their velvety skin as the weather warms up, while others enjoy improved intimate hygiene with a cleaner bikini line.
Maintaining Your Smooth Skin
Though your skin may be red or feel sensitive immediately following a wax, this naturally fades within a few hours of treatment.
After your appointment, take care to:
- Avoid sweat-inducing activities for the first 24 hours.
- Limit the skin’s exposure to the sun for 48 hours.
- Do not use hot tubs, saunas, or public pools for at least 48 hours.
- Use lukewarm water and gentle products to cleanse the treatment area.
- Exfoliate the skin between wax appointments.
- Do not shave any regrowth between waxes.
With proper care, many clients enjoy silky-smooth skin for up to 6 weeks.
