WAXING AFTERCARE ADVICE.

Following your treatment it is essential that you follow the aftercare instructions and advice provided to you.

​

This will help protect you from any adverse reactions and help with the longevity of the results that you have gained from your treatment.

​

Following your waxing treatment you may notice:

  • Slight soreness

  • Small bumps and redness

​

This is perfectly normal, is a temporary reaction and symptoms should subside within 24-48 hours.

If you experience persistent soreness and redness please do not hesitate to contact SCL Beauty or seek medical advice from a Pharmacist or your GP

​

Please follow the guidelines below to ensure that your skin is properly cared for over the next few days:

​

  • Avoid very hot bath/showers for 24 hours

  • Avoid the sauna, steam room, public swimming pools and jacuzzi for 24 hours

  • No massage for 24hrs

  • Do not sunbathe or use sunbeds for 48hrs after waxing. Freshly waxed skin is more susceptible to to UV rays and this can lead to permanent sun damage

  • Avoid using fake tan for a while as the chemicals can irritate the skin. 

  • For the first few days following your waxing use gentle, fragrance free wash and creams to avoid irritation of the area

  • Avoid tight clothing for 24-48 hrs following your waxing to avoid aggravation of the area

  • A few days after your treatment use a dry body brush, exfoliating mitt or scrub and gently rub the area that has been waxed before getting in the shower. Be careful to not to over-exfoliate the freshly waxed area. This will help prevent ingrowing hairs and prepare for new hair growth.

  • Moisturise regularly to keep the skin soft 

​

​

You will need at least 3-4 weeks growth of hair before it can be successfully removed by waxing.

​

4-6 weeks is recommended between waxing appointments to maintain a smooth appearance.

​

Please do not shave between treatments
