Which area is treated?

The chin and, if you wish, the skin just beneath the chin and along the jawline. Exactly which area is included, you agree beforehand.

How the appointment goes

Hair on the chin often grows in different directions and can be coarser than elsewhere on the face. So first the growth pattern is checked, and then the wax is applied in small sections per direction.

Coarse hairs that remain are tidied with tweezers. Afterwards the skin is soothed and you get advice on preventing ingrown hairs.

Good to know beforehand

  • Let the hair grow for two to three weeks and don’t tweeze or shave in that time.
  • Active, inflamed spots on the chin? They are worked around, or the appointment is rescheduled.
  • Noticing a clear increase in coarse hair on your chin or jaw within a short time? Talk to your GP; sometimes there is a hormonal cause.

Precautions and possible reactions

  • Red dots around the follicles are normal and usually disappear within a day.
  • Ingrown hairs are more common on the chin, especially if you tweeze or shave in between.
  • With retinoids or after a recent peel, waxing is temporarily not suitable.

Aftercare

  • No make-up on the chin for 12 to 24 hours.
  • Don’t touch the skin or squeeze any spots.
  • After two days, start using a mild facial scrub a few times a week.

Preparation and recovery

You can carry on with your day straight away. Keep to a rhythm of roughly three to five weeks and let the hair grow in between as much as possible. That helps prevent ingrown hairs and irritation.

Unsure about your skin, medication or health? Please consult your GP or dermatologist first. This information does not replace medical advice.

Questions and answers

I tweeze my chin myself at the moment. Can I still come?

Yes. Just leave the hairs for two to three weeks before your appointment, so the wax can grip them properly.

Is waxing better than shaving on the chin?

Waxing removes hair from the root, so there is no stubble and it takes weeks before it is visible again. What suits you best depends on your skin and hair growth; you are welcome to discuss it together.
