Mens Intimate Waxing FAQ's
Does intimate waxing hurt?
This type of waxing can be painful, but is minimised with the use of Lycon Hot Wax which deals with the challenge of hair removal on sensitive skin and the removal of coarse hair.
Should I shave down the hair?
Your waxing may be more comfortable if the hair is clipped short, but remember there MUST be at least half an inch of hair for the waxing to be effective. To guarantee this no shaving must be done within 3 weeks of your treatment. Check with your therapist before shaving.
Hollywood or Brazilian?
The Hollywood leaves no hair at all and the Brazilian leaves some hair above the penis.
Should I be naked for the treatment?
A t-shirt can be worn but the area being waxed needs to un-covered for access.
What if I get aroused?
Don't worry - this does happen on occasion and the key is not to worry as therapists are used to this occurring and consider it a natural event. Often the waxing sensation tends to subside throughout the treatment.
Intimate Waxing Aftercare Advice
Keep the waxed area clean and avoid both friction and heat during the 24-48 period after treatment. Please be aware the following should be followed:
- No saunas, hot tubs or steam rooms
- No tanning including sunbathing, sunbeds and fake tan
- No hot baths or showers but washing with cool or lukewarm water is fine
- Washing with an antibacterial skin wash or adding a cup of Dead Sea salts to your bathwater will help prevent infection over the next few days
- No sport, gym work or other exercise
- No sexual activity
- Do not touch the waxed area unless hands have been washed
- Apply an antiseptic cream to the treated area for the following couple of days after treatment and ensure hands have been washed before doing so
- Avoid swimming and chlorinated water
- Do not apply deodorants, body spray, powders, lotion or other products to the area other than those which your therapist has recommended
- Wear clean underwear and avoid friction from tight clothing
To prevent ingrown hairs starting a few days after your appointment gently scrub the skin 3 times a week in the bath or shower. Moisturising the skin is recommended to keep the skin supple and help new hairs to grow through normally
It is normal to notice a small amount of re-growth a week or so after the waxing. It may take up to four treatments for your hair to get used to a growth cycle that gives best results. To maintain a smooth appearance we recommend regular waxing every 4-6 weeks.
