How to Prepare for Bikini Waxing
Allow your hair to grow for at least two weeks before going for a waxing treatment then trim hair short (about a quarter of an inch to half an inch at most). Shorter hair is easier and more comfortable to remove than long hair but there does have to be some hair there for the wax to grip. Ensure that the area is clean before your appointment either by showering or (if you don't have time for that) by thorough cleaning with baby wipes or simple soap and water. Salons usually provide disposable underwear (thong) or you can wear your own (not too precious) thong or go completely bare.
How Long Does a Bikini Waxing Session Take?
A session takes from 20 to 45 minutes. The initial session will probably take longest with each subsequent session taking a little less time as hair becomes easier to remove.
How Long Does it Take for the Skin to Recover after Bikini Waxing?
It will probably take a day or two after removing hair for the skin to settle down and for any redness and bumps to disappear. After that you should start to gently exfoliate the outer area to avoid any ingrown hairs.
How Long will the Area Stay Free of Unwanted Hair after Bikini Waxing?
Anything from two to eight weeks depending on the rate of growth of the unwanted hair. Of course you will need some regrowth if you want to go for waxing again so that the wax has something to grip. This probably means at least a month or so between sessions although you may have to use tweezers on the odd hair here and there. Fortunately follow-up sessions are generally less painful and shorter than the first session. That's because regrowth is generally weaker and you know what to expect and are less anxious about the whole process.
What are the Advantages of waxing
Some physicians do not recommend waxing for persons suffering from diabetes or who have varicose veins or poor circulation as they are more susceptible to infection.
Users of Retin-A, Renova, Differin or Accutane are advised not to use waxing on the face as these medications tend to weaken the skin and tearing of the skin may occur when the wax is removed.
Waxing should not be done on areas of skin affected by warts, pimples, moles or rashes or on skin that is irritated, chapped or suffering from sunburn. Never apply wax to peeling, broken skin or varicose veins.
How long before hair reappears?
Generally between 3 and 8 weeks. Less hair regrows and it is generally finer. Eventually some hair never regrows.
