Waxing Treatments

Waxing Treatments - The Beauty Rooms Chelmsford

We aim to make our Waxing Treatments as comfortable as possible whilst helping you to feel at ease and protecting your modesty. Our Therapists are highly skilled waxing specialists and will deliver your treatment in a clean and professional manner.

Professional Waxing Treatments have brilliant results leaving skin smooth and hair free for up to 4-6 weeks.

Regular waxing over a prolonged period can significantly reduce future hair growth.

Waxing Treatments

We use a combination of Hot Wax and Tea Tree Antiseptic Strip Wax.

Hot Wax is applied whilst hot and removed when cooled. It forms a tighter grip on the hair compared to Strip Wax, and grips the hair rather than the skin making it more comfortable for intimate areas.

Strip Wax is applied warm and removed with a fabric/paper strip. It is a quick and efficient method for covering large areas and is suitable for clients with heat sensitive skin.

Please talk to your Therapist if you have a preference.

Waxing Pre-Treatment Advice

  • Allow at least 4mm of hair growth, ideally 1cm – usually between 3-4 weeks worth. Some waxing can be done with as little as 2 weeks growth but to ensure the best results, it is advisable to let them grow a little longer if you can. This is to ensure hairs are of a sufficient length to be removed properly.
  • Do not use any retinol or exfoliating acids on the chosen area at least 72hrs prior to waxing as these can thin the skin.
  • Some waxing is not suitable for clients using topical antibiotics/steroid creams/Roaccutane.
  • Please refrain from using body lotion or moisturising body washes on the day of your waxing treatment as they may prevent the wax from being applied and removed efficiently.
  • Please note that any fake tan will be removed when the area is waxed.
  • Wear old high-cut briefs where possible for Bikini, Brazilian and Hollywood Waxing treatments.

Waxing Post-Treatment Advice

  • No lotions to be applied for 24 hours after waxing treatment. This includes deodorant, perfume, self-tan, moisturiser, body wash and shaving gel – these could block pores and cause irritation.
  • No heated treatments i.e. sun beds, saunas or swimming.
  • Avoid hot baths or showers.
  • Avoid tight clothing.
  • We usually recommend a 4-6 week interval between successive wax treatments.

How to heal the skin if a reaction occurs

As highly skilled as our therapists are, unfortunately, on the very rare occasion, bruising or skin lifting (wax graze/burn) can occur. This can happen due to a number of reasons and sometimes isn’t noticeable until a day or 2 after your treatment. Skin lifting is more prone to occur if:

  • Your stress levels are high
  • It has happened to you before
  • You are going through hormonal changes
  • Use of retinol and exfoliating acids
  • Use of medications that may thin the skin
  • Recent scar tissue
  • Skin disorders/diseases
  • Sunburn
  • Use of sunbeds 24hrs prior
  • If you are receiving cancer treatment

Bruising can occur during particularly hot weather when the skin sweats more and the wax is more likely to stick. It occurs more commonly on areas such as the bikini line where the skin is thinner but also on larger areas like the thighs where there is more excess skin. Our therapists will always do their very best to ensure this never happens but sometimes is unavoidable.

If you experience a waxing graze or bruise following a waxing treatment, try not to worry as it only affects the very top layer of the skin so can be soothed and healed quickly. Generally it takes 1-2 weeks to heal although this can vary for different skin types. To treat:

  • Apply a cold compress or run the area under cool water for 20 minutes
  • Apply 100% Aloe Vera gel several times a day
  • If necessary, cover the area with a bandage to avoid infection
  • Take ibuprofen to ease pain and reduce swelling
  • Avoid wearing make-up or applying products over the area
  • Wear sun protection to avoid pigmentation occurring.
