Reactions to waxing

Some individuals may find following a waxing treatment a slight reaction to the skin. This may be a slight reddening, occasional blood spots often in the under arm or bikini line area or in some cases a slight tingling sensation.

These reactions are completely normal and will pass in a few hours. All of this will be discussed with you at the time of your appointment with your therapist who will then explain the after-care advice to you following your treatment. If you follow your after-care advice for 24 hours after treatment you should not experience any problems. However if you do have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact your therapist for reassurance.

Each individual reacts very differently to waxing and may find one type more suitable for their skin than others. It is possible that different wax types are required to specific areas of the body depending on the skin's sensitivity. At Bella Vou we offer all three types of depilation.

When looking at your appointment at Bella Vou for waxing the therapists would be very happy to discuss the different depilation types with you prior to treatment to help decided the most suitable method for you. Patch tests are also available.
