Waxing is a method of temporary hair removal which removes the hair from the root. New hair will grow back in the previously waxed area in two to eight weeks, although some people will see re-growth in only a week. Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including eyebrows, face, bikini area, legs, arms, back, abdomen and feet. However, waxing should not be performed on the face if using prescriptive tretinoin cream.
Sugaring is a 100% natural method of hair removal. The procedure uses a mixture of sugar, lemon and water which does not adhere to live skin cells, so delicate facial tissue is not traumatized.
Therefore, sugaring:
• Can be used on any skin type
• Can be performed on skin while using tretinoin (Retin-A)
• Can be used on areas with spider veins
• Can be used on diabetics and dry eczematous skin
Sugaring is water soluble and has no sticky residue; leaving the skin soft, smooth and hair free. As little as 3-4 days of hair growth
(at least 1/8") can be removed by sugaring, so no more waiting while hair grows out.
