Q:What Can I expect from a Brazilian bikini wax?
A: A Brazilian
wax removes the hair from the entire pubic region, except for a small
patch just above the vaginal area. Many women request a Brazilian
because it gives a clean, close wax and the freedom to wear even the
most revealing swimwear and lingerie.
A traditional Brazilian includes the labia and the area that reaches
into the buttocks. If there are stray hairs after waxing, the
technician may also tweeze the area. The key to allowing wax to
penetrate into the follicles (and provide the closest possible wax) is
to relax. And many women claim the treatment is not nearly as painful
as it sounds.
Q: Isn't hair in the pubic area there for a reason?
A: Doctors say that though humans once needed protection against the
elements, there's no real clinical need for pubic hair in this day and
age - clothing certainly provides ample protection and warmth. Some
even claim it's more hygienic to have the hair removed so it doesn't
absorb sweat.
Q: What Can I expect from the treatment?
A: At
the beginning of each treatment I will carry out a
consultation asking you a few questions about yourself to determine
what you require from the treatment and check you do not have any
contra-indications. Some treatments will require you to undress to your
underwear and cover yourself with a towel so specific areas can be
reached, Brazilian or Hollywood waxing. Some treatments you will remain
dressed and only expose the area to be treated e.g Facial. You
will then either lie on the couch covered by the blanket or
seated in a chair. I will ensure you are comfortable and
warm before beginning the treatment. At the end of the treatment you
will be left to take your time to come round and get dressed before
being offered a glass of water and given feedback on the treatment and
advice.
Q: What is a contra-indication?
A: Contra-indications
are particular reasons why a treatment may not be suitable or a doctors
permission may be required. Important contra-indications that mean a
treatment is not safe include fever, under the influence or alcohol or
drugs, all over sunburn, infectious skin disease, phlebitis, undiagnosed
lumps, thrombosis, fractures and swelling. Some conditions may mean a
treatment can only be carried out on certain areas these include
varicose veins. During the consultation I will advise you
of any contra-indications and if doctors permission will be needed.
Q: How Do I pay for a treatment?
A: You can pay cash at the end of each treatment.
