Underarm waxing

Fresh, smooth underarms, without the stubble, itching and red bumps that shaving often leaves behind.

Which area is treated?

The full underarm on both sides.

How the appointment goes

You lie comfortably with your arm above your head, which naturally holds the skin a little tauter. The skin is cleansed and dried completely; in the underarms that matters even more.

Underarm hair often grows in two or three directions. So the underarm is done in parts, each following the growth direction of that part. Stray hairs are tidied and the skin is soothed.

Good to know beforehand

  • On the day of your appointment, skip deodorant, perfume and cream in the underarms.
  • Don’t shave for the last two to three weeks; the hair needs to be at least 0.5 cm long.
  • A cut, inflammation or irritation in the underarm? Then the treatment is rescheduled.

Precautions and possible reactions

  • Small red bumps or dots around the follicles are normal and usually disappear within a day.
  • The first time, the underarm is often more sensitive; with a regular rhythm most people find it less intense.
  • A tiny pinpoint bleed can occur with coarse hair; that is harmless.

Aftercare

  • Skip deodorant, perfume and fragranced products for the first 24 hours.
  • Wear a loose, breathable top and skip intense exercise on the first day.
  • After two days, start exfoliating gently with a washcloth.

Preparation and recovery

Ideally don’t book your appointment just before a workout or a hot day when you’ll need deodorant. After that, you’ll be free of stubble for weeks. Every three to five weeks is a comfortable rhythm.

Questions and answers

Can I use deodorant straight afterwards?

Better not. The follicles are open and sensitive for the first few hours. Wait 24 hours and the risk of irritation is much lower.

Will I sweat more after waxing?

Waxing has no effect on how much you sweat. Skin without hair often feels fresher, though.
