Professional Waxing For Silky Smooth Skin

We ask you to arrive with clean, dry skin, free from oils, lotions or deoderent.

We also recommend that you exfoliate 24 hours beforehand to remove dead skin cells and reduce the risk of ingrown hairs.

For effective waxing, hair needs to be approx 1/4 inch long to ensure that the wax can grip the hair and remove it from the root.

You may experience discomfort if the hair is very long, so we recommend you trim it to the required length before your appointment.

Waxing is not a permanent method of hair removal. You are likely to see regrowth within 3 – 6 weeks. However, with regular waxing, your hair may reduce in density and thickness.

Typically, you’ll need to return for waxing every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and the area being treated.

Regular waxing ensures that the hair is long enough for effective removal and helps maintain smooth, hair-free skin.

Over time, you may notice that your hair grows back finer and slower, allowing for longer intervals between appointments.

For areas like the face, underarms, or bikini line, you might need slightly more frequent visits, while areas like legs may last closer to 6 weeks.

At Defy Clinic in Plymouth, we will recommend a schedule based on your individual hair growth and preferences.

We take your aftercare very seriously, so we’re always happy to answer your questions and we’ll remind you about aftercare during your treatments.

Waxing can cause some discomfort, as it involves removing hair from the root. However, the level of pain varies according to your tolerance level and the area being waxed.

Sensitive areas, like the bikini line or underarms, may feel more tender than less sensitive areas, such as the legs.

The good news is that the discomfort is usually very brief and tends to decrease over time with regular waxing, as the hair grows back finer and weaker.

To minimize pain, some clients find it helpful to:

• Exfoliate the skin gently before the appointment to remove dead skin cells.
• Avoid caffeine or alcohol on the day of waxing, as these can increase sensitivity.
• Schedule appointments around your menstrual cycle, as the skin can be more sensitive before or during your period.

At Defy Clinic in Plymouth, we have been professionally waxing our clients for over 25 years, so we know how to make waxing as comfortable as possible for you.

Waxing can be suitable for all skin types but if you do have concerns about your skin, please talk to us and we’ll recommend the most suitable hair removal options for you.

You can have waxing while pregnant but your skin may be more sensitive than usual, so please discuss this with us so that we can discuss your treatment with you.
