HAIR REMOVAL FOR MEN

Over the last few years, as men have become much more aware of their appearance - and how to improve it - we have seen increased interest in men’s treatments, both in hair and skin products,
Many men feel excessive body hair is no longer a thing to be proud of, as wives and girlfriends prefer to have their man a bit smoother about the body, so men are turning to waxing as a way to keep there body’s smooth and hair free.
So if you are a man looking to get rid of some of your excess body hair, here are some questions and answers that may help you to make up your mind.

Q: What type of man goes in for waxing?
A: Any man regardless of age or sexual persuasion, who feels that too much body hair is blighting his life

Q: If I have it done, will it hurt?
A: With waxing you are removing the hair from the root, not just taking the hair from the skin level, as with shaving or hair removal creams. Any discomfort is minimal, and goes almost instantly. Having said that,  if you have a full body wax, then there are more sensitive areas, i.e. the genital and pubic areas, these are more sensitive and need special care when being waxed, but the results are worth it.

Q: What are the most popular areas that men get waxed?
A: For most men its the hair on there backs and chests that they hate most, so this tends to be the most popular area, but the most important area is the one that you yourself want the hair removed from, we will readily  give you advice on any area of the body that you may want to be waxed.

Q: How long will it last?
A: As you are taking the hair from the root, it means that a new hair will have to grow in its place,  so with waxing you will get a longer time without hair than with other treatments, and the more you have it done the longer the effects will last as the hair growing cycle will gradually slow down,

Q: Does it itch when the hair starts to grow?
A: Because it is a new hair that is growing there is none of the itching associated with shaving, so there is no discomfort when the hair re-grows.

Q: Are there any people who can’t have the treatment?
A: Most people can have waxing, but there are some exceptions to the rule. It is not advisable if you suffer from diabetes, have a serious skin allergy or very sensitive skin, also new scar tissue cannot be waxed over, (ie after an operation ). The therapist will be glad to answer any other questions you might have about suitability, before any treatment takes place.


PRE-TREATMENT ADVICE
Avoid using any form of moisturising on the area prior to waxing treatment. It is advisable to wear loose clothing, it minimizes the risk of irritation to the newly  waxed area.

AFTERCARE ADVICE
In the first 24 hours after a waxing treatment, refrain from sunbathing, or a sun bed treatment, don’t use any self tanning preparations, deodorants or perfume products on the newly waxed area, also avoid HOT baths and showers, cool to warm is ok.
Try to avoid touching or picking the new waxed area as well.
