Going for a bikini wax definitely doesn’t qualify as a relaxing trip to the spa. Get answers to your questions about managing waxing pain and other aspects of the bikini wax procedure.
Preparing for your first bikini wax — especially the Brazilian bikini wax — may be a bit nerve-wracking. You probably have questions about the procedure mixed with concerns about waxing pain.
But others have gone before you and lived to tell about it. Even a Brazilian bikini wax, in which hair is completely removed from your intimate areas, takes less than an hour to complete, depending on your response to the process and the efficiency of your waxer.
Bikini waxes can be performed at joz spa. Unlike other body hair waxing, a bikini wax is difficult to do yourself. This procedure is often done by aestheticians trained in hair and skin care.
The first step is to decide how much hair you want removed. The cost, length, and pain of the procedure depend on that decision, so be sure you and your waxer are in agreement. Your options are: Traditional bikini wax. Only the hair outside of the bikini coverage area will be removed. Extended bikini wax. Hair is removed up to two inches inside the bikini line. Partial Brazilian bikini wax. Hair is removed in the groin area, buttocks, and on the labia (the lips of the vagina), leaving a thin strip of hair pointing upwards toward your bellybutton. You do have some creative license with the shaping of this strip of hair. Full Brazilian wax. All hair is removed from the groin area, labia, and buttocks.
Schedule your wax so that it occurs well before or well after your period. The days around your period come with an increased sensitivity to pain.
Breathe and relax. The pain and the experience are only temporary. Tensing up makes it worse.
Most women will not have an allergic reaction. Your skin is likely to be sensitive after the waxing is complete, and your waxer may apply a cooling moisturizer to help ease the immediate irritation. If itching, dryness, or redness last more than a day or so and cannot be eased by moisturizing, you may need to consult a dermatologist.
