Features of Women's Waxing for different Body Zones
Waxing is a method of hair removal with melted wax. It gets rid of vegetation on any part of the body. If you regularly remove hair with wax, they will become noticeably thinner, softer and will grow slower.
Bikini area
The skin in this area is delicate, sensitive and prone to irritation. Many nerve endings are located here, as well as the epidermis borders with mucous membranes. The price of a mistake is high - trauma, burns, infections, and inflammation. If you don't want to take risks, we recommend you get the hair removal done at a spa center, and not at home.
The hair in the bikini area is dense, stiff, coarse and thick. They grow in different directions and have deep roots. Shaving often causes irritation and has a short-term effect. The smoothness is already lost after a couple of hours.
Unlike shaving, waxing removes the hair together with the root. The result lasts up to a month. Hard wax (hot wax) is suitable for intimate hair removal. It captures the hair better and reduces pain.
Varieties of bikini waxing
-
Classic Waxing (French)
- Only the hair extending beyond the underwear, on top and on the sides (lower abdomen, inner thighs) is removed.
- Quickly performed and gives a minimum of discomfort.
- Suitable when you need to remove excess vegetation in the bikini area, but you do not want to remove it all at once or are afraid of pain.
- It is often used for women who have not done waxing before. This way the epidermis can gradually adapt.
-
Deep Waxing (Brazilian hair removal)
- All hair in the intimate area is removed.
- Allows you to wear any underwear.
- Relevance - before the beach season.
- A small stripe or triangle can be left in the front.
The service of classic and deep bikini waxing is available in our center:
Classic Waxing - epilation area along the bikini line.
Deep Waxing - total hair removal from the entire bikini area.
We invite you to make an appointment for a consultation and appreciate the level of our service: we are always comfortable, clean and sterile.
Feet and hands
The skin here is less sensitive and has a smooth texture. The hair is thinner and less frequent. Soft (warm, cartridge) wax is suitable for these areas. They can quickly treat large areas. It can be used on the entire surface as well as on individual areas such as thighs, shins, forearms or upper arms.
Before and After
Underarms
The underarm area is characterized by increased sensitivity and sweating. The hair here is darker, stiffer and denser. For underarms, it is better to use a hard wax. It captures the short and stiff elements better.
Important!
The hair in the armpit area grows in different directions, which complicates the procedure. The wrong trajectory will result in the hair simply breaking off. The result is inflammation and ingrown hairs. To avoid this, contact a professional.
Face
The skin in this area is delicate and sensitive. The hair is very thin and short. Plucking them does not give long-lasting results. Waxing helps to permanently remove vegetation and smooth the skin without causing micro-damage, as can happen with shaving.
Waxing can be used to remove vegetation:
-
above the upper lip
-
on the chin
-
cheeks
-
the sideburns
-
the front of the nose
-
the supraorbital arches
-
bridge of the nose
Before and after
Back and abdomen
The skin in this area is more resistant to wax and the hair is usually softer. Warm wax is more commonly used here. It effectively captures vegetation in large areas.

How a woman should prepare for Waxing
Types of wax for waxing
Suitable for epilation of small and most sensitive areas. Handles tough and thick vegetation well. Better adhesion, removing even the shortest elements. More often used in the face, bikini line, and underarms.
Hard wax is heated in a wax melter to 50-60 ° C. The composition warms the epidermis well, opens the pores and simplifies epilation, making it less painful.
Hot bikini wax is removed without the use of paper. After cooling down, it turns into a dense elastic film. The master picks it up with his fingers and pulls it off the skin with a sharp movement.
Careful!
It is dangerous to use hot wax at home. It can cause serious burns, allergic reactions and pigmentation. Do not risk your health.
It has the highest adhesion (grip) to the skin. When heated to 40 degrees, it softens, deeply enveloping the hair and gripping it at the root. Warm wax is a thick mass. It does not harden on the skin and remains sticky. Wax is applied with a spatula and removed with paper strips. Good for removing vegetation on large surfaces - chest, back, arms, legs, as well as soft, downy hair of any density.
These are strips that have been soaked in wax. They are ready to use. Cold wax does not require heating devices and consumables. It melts at the temperature of human palms. Inferior to the first two in effectiveness, especially when removing stiff, thick and strong hair. It is not suitable for the face and deep bikini.
Hot Wax (hot wax) - for delicate areas (face, bikini, underarms).
Strip Wax (warm wax) - for large areas (arms, legs, chest).
What is the difference between waxing and sugaring?
Depilation male is generally a safe procedure. But it has some limitations. Contraindications for guys are the same as for girls.
Epilation should not be performed when you have:
| Parameter | Waxing | Sugaring |
| Material | Wax | Sugar paste |
| Technique | Applied in the direction of hair growth, removed - against it. | Applied against hair growth, removed in the direction of growth. |
| Speed of application | Goes faster. A wax strip removes vegetation from a large area at once. | Takes longer, especially on larger areas. Sugar paste is removed in short sections. It may not capture all the elements the first time and the procedure will have to be repeated (possibly several times). |
| Temperature | Wax is warm or hot. | Room temperature paste (can be slightly warmed). |
| Number of applications | Can be applied to the skin only once. | Sugar paste can be applied multiple times. |
| Price | Lower. | Higher. |
| Result | Works well on short, stiff, shaved elements. | Sugar paste requires a slightly longer length (about 5mm) for a perfect grip. |
| Working comfort | Works in all conditions. | Sugar paste can be affected by the temperature and humidity in the room. Sugar paste can become "naughty" due to unsuitable conditions. |
Important!
Waxing - epilation of wax.
Sugaring - sugar hair removal.
