FAQ — waxing for sensitive skin
We perform a small sensitivity patch and use hypoallergenic low-temp wax. Most clients see minimal reactivity with proper prep.
Avoid retinoids and exfoliants 5–7 days prior, arrive with clean, oil-free skin, and avoid sun exposure before treatment.
Cool compresses, fragrance-free soothing gel, and avoiding tight clothing or heat for 24–48 hours help recovery.
