How long does lycon wax last

Waxing is something we specialise in, Both Male and Female waxing, using Lycon precision waxing. How long does My hair need to be? Our hot wax can grab hair as short as 2mm in length. Our strip wax can remove hair as short as 4mm. Everyone has a different growth cycle but we are generally able to wax areas that have been shaved one week earlier.

What makes Lycon less painful? When we use our hot wax on sensitive areas, we first apply an essential oil to the skin which acts as a barrier between the wax and the skin.

Therefore, the wax is able to shrink wrap around the hair and will not stick to the skin. Less tugging results in less pain! This is suitable for high-cut underwear or swimwear. Also called a Thong wax. This is a very tight bikini wax which leaves a thin strip of hair finger width from the front of the bikini on to the lips labia. All hair from the bum is removed.

This treatment leaves hair on the front in either a strip or mini-triangle shape. All the hair from the lips labia and bum is removed. After your Hollywood wax, your choice of Swarovski crystal gem is applied. Gems should last days. You will have far better results as your hair will gradually weaken, growth will appear finer and a lot of clients will experience a reduction in hair growth over time. Exfoliate the area regularly with a body scrub or bath mitts.

Not only will your skin feel great, but this will also help prevent in-grown hairs. Let your therapist know about any allergies or medical conditions you have. Waxing is not suitable if you have been using Retin A or Ro-Accutane within the last six months. If you are a little nervous that your Brazilian or Hollywood wax will be uncomfortable, then it might be worth taking 1 — 2 paracetamol half an hour before treatment.

If you know your skin is quite sensitive or reactive, another alternative would be to take an anti-histamine to reduce redness. Also, avoiding caffeine for a few hours before your intimate wax can help reduce discomfort. Caffeine heightens nerve ending sensitivities, which is exactly the opposite of what you want to be doing before a hair removal session!

Does the time of the month make a difference? It is absolutely fine to have a wax during your period, sometimes it is unavoidable. Sweat and chlorine can both increase the likelihood of open follicles becoming infected, so if at all possible workout on the morning of your treatment.

So what are you waiting for? In fact, you might even be persuaded to throw away your razors once and for all! One word of warning, before I sign off. Please check your therapist has attended an advanced waxing course. As it currently stands in March , Brazilian and Hollywood waxing is not currently part of the NVQ syllabus required to become a beauty therapist and requires further training to be carried out correctly and safely.

It is a skilled treatment requiring a very different technique to warm waxing and should only be carried out by an appropriately qualified therapist.
