Wax depilation is a procedure that allows you to get rid of unwanted
hair for a long time. It provides removal of vegetation from all areas of the skin: from the brow, from nasolabial folds, from the bikini zone, from the axillary hollows, from the abdomen, legs, etc. Unlike shaving, the skin is less injured, the hair follicle remains untouched, the skin for a longer period remains smooth and velvety, the growing hair becomes thinner and lighter. The effect persists for 3-6 weeks, the duration depends on the anatomical features of the body. Wax depilation is of three types:
- It's hot. The wax is heated to a certain temperature, and then the spatula is applied to the skin. A napkin is applied from above. After full hardening, the napkin breaks off sharply, removing unwanted hair. In this case, the hair bulb is preserved.
- Warm. It is believed that this type of depilation is the most hygienic and sparing. Warm wax is applied to the skin and has no thermal effect. With the help of special paper, the frozen consistency is removed together with the hair.
- Cold. This type of procedure is most convenient for use at home. Cold wax is already applied to the strips, and you only need to apply them to the places where hair removal is necessary. Strips are wide and narrow - for ease of use in different places.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to treat skin areas where the wax will be applied,
