Waxing treatments · Body
Body waxing,
weeks without stubble.
Underarms, arms, legs or back: larger areas, the same care. Your skin feels soft for days afterwards, and the razor can stay in the cupboard for a while.
Larger areas, the same eye for detail
Shaving only removes hair at the surface; waxing removes it from the root. That keeps your skin smooth for weeks rather than days, without the stubble and itching that often follow shaving.
On the body, hair grows in different directions — especially in the underarms and around the knees. So the wax is worked in strips that follow the hair growth, to break as few hairs as possible and keep your skin calm.
What body waxing involves
The skin is cleansed and dried. The wax is then applied in strips and removed with a short, quick movement while the skin is held taut. Holding the skin taut makes a real difference to how it feels.
Afterwards any stray hairs are tidied and wax residue is removed. For the first few hours your skin may look a little red or show small bumps around the follicles; that is a normal reaction that usually settles within a day.

Finish
Stray hairs are tidied and the skin is soothed with a softening product.
Who it suits
- You are tired of shaving daily or weekly, or your skin reacts with stubble, itching or red bumps.
- You want smooth skin for a holiday, wedding, photo shoot or sports event.
- You want a regular rhythm, so your hair growth becomes more even over time.
Preparation
- Let the hair grow for two to four weeks; it needs to be at least 0.5 cm long.
- Exfoliate lightly one or two days beforehand, but not on the day itself.
- On the day of your appointment, skip body lotion, oil and self-tan on the area.
- Avoid sunbathing and sunbeds for 48 hours beforehand.
Aftercare
- For the first 24 hours, avoid sauna, swimming pools, sunbeds, hot showers and intense exercise.
- Wear loose, breathable clothing over the treated areas.
- After underarm waxing, skip deodorant and perfume for the first 24 hours.
- After two days, start exfoliating gently and regularly, and keep the skin supple with a mild cream.
Precautions
- Varicose veins, cuts, eczema, psoriasis and sunburnt skin are never waxed.
- Taking blood thinners, or living with diabetes or reduced circulation? Consult your doctor first and mention it in your request.
- Self-tan or a fake tan can turn patchy after waxing; apply it at least 48 hours after the treatment instead.
- If you are pregnant, your skin may react more sensitively. When in doubt, check with your midwife or doctor.

Questions and answers
Can I combine underarms and legs in one appointment?
Yes. Mention in your request which areas you would like, and the appointment will be planned accordingly.
My hair is very light. Can it still be waxed?
Usually, yes. Wax also grips light, fine hair as long as it is long enough. If you are unsure, feel free to ask beforehand.
How do I prevent ingrown hairs on my legs?
From two days after the treatment, exfoliate gently two or three times a week and keep your skin supple. It also helps to skip tight trousers straight after waxing.
