Tips for Reducing Pain During Waxing

Waxing removes hair from the follicle, ensuring a smoother and longer-lasting finish compared to shaving. The process involves applying a warm or hot wax to the skin, allowing it to adhere to the hair. Once the wax is quickly removed, hair is pulled out from the root. Over time, regular waxing weakens hair follicles, leading to finer and sparser regrowth.


The Benefits of Waxing


  1. Long-Lasting Results: Waxing keeps your skin smooth for up to 4–6 weeks, unlike shaving, which often leads to stubble within days.
  2. Improved Skin Texture: Waxing exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells along with hair, leaving it brighter and softer.
  3. Reduced Ingrown Hairs: Unlike shaving, waxing encourages even regrowth, reducing the risk of ingrown hairs.
  4. Time-Saving: With waxing, you can enjoy weeks of smooth skin without the need for daily maintenance.

Debunking Waxing Myths


  • “Waxing is unbearably painful.” While some discomfort is natural, professional techniques and high-quality waxes significantly reduce pain.
  • “It damages the skin.” On the contrary, waxing improves skin texture by exfoliating and encouraging cell turnover.
  • “It’s unsuitable for sensitive skin.” Vegan-friendly, hypoallergenic waxes make waxing safe for all skin types.

Tips for Reducing Pain During Waxing


Before Your Appointment:


  • Exfoliate 24 Hours Prior: This removes dead skin cells, ensuring the wax adheres to hair and not the skin.
  • Avoid Caffeine or Alcohol: Both can increase skin sensitivity.
  • Hydrate Well: Keeping your skin moisturised makes it more pliable, reducing discomfort during hair removal.


During Your Appointment:


  • Communicate with your aesthetician about sensitive areas or concerns.
  • Practise slow, deep breathing to stay relaxed.


After Your Appointment:


  • Apply soothing products like aloe vera or chamomile lotion to calm the skin.
  • Avoid tight clothing, hot showers, and sun exposure for at least 24–48 hours to prevent irritation.


At  Phoenix Eco Spa, we use advanced techniques and premium waxes  to minimise discomfort and deliver exceptional results tailored to your skin type.
