Discover the Benefits of Waxing Services at Reston Aesthetics

Waxing is a popular cosmetic treatment at Reston Aesthetics of Centreville, Virginia. However, many patients who are looking for this treatment may have a plethora of questions for their provider before proceeding. Let’s look at some information that can help you decide if this treatment is appropriate for you when seeking long-lasting hair removal methods.

Why should I choose waxing instead of other available hair removal methods?

Waxing is a popular method of hair removal because it provides long-lasting results and leaves the skin feeling smooth and soft. Unlike shaving, which allows hair to regrow within just a few days, waxing removes the entire hair follicle. As a result, hair regrowth is slower and finer. This means you can enjoy silky-smooth skin for up to four weeks without constant maintenance.

Additionally, waxing is known to exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells along with hair. This helps improve the overall appearance and texture of your skin, giving it a healthier and natural-looking glow. Waxing also does not cause harsh razor burn, as shaving can.

What steps does an aesthetician follow during waxing?

After patients have consulted with our team to determine if waxing is safe and appropriate, an aesthetician will perform the waxing procedure. The aesthetician will start by cleaning and sanitizing the area that needs to be waxed. They will then apply warm wax to the skin, following the direction of hair growth. A strip of cloth is placed over the wax and swiftly removed, pulling the hair out from the roots.

Is waxing painful?

Depending on your specific pain tolerance, you might experience some discomfort during the process, but most people find it tolerable. Afterward, any remaining stray hairs are plucked with tweezers for a smooth finish. The entire procedure takes around 30 minutes or less.

How long will my waxing results last?

It is important to note that everyone’s hair grows at a different rate, so your results may vary in how long it takes to regrow. However, on average, waxing results can last anywhere from two to four weeks before you start noticing any regrowth.

What should I do to prepare my skin before a waxing appointment?

We recommend exfoliating the area a day or two beforehand to ensure the best results and minimize discomfort during your waxing appointment. This removes dead skin cells and allows the hairs to be pulled out more easily. It is also important to avoid sun exposure for at least 24 hours before and after your appointment, as this can make your skin more sensitive.

What areas of the body can be waxed?

  • Legs
  • Arms
  • Underarms
  • Bikini area
  • Brazilian (for women)
  • Chest and back (for men)
  • Face (eyebrows, upper lip, chin)
