Q: Does it hurt? A: Well, it doesn't not hurt. With routine appointments, it hurts less and less, honest! The hair becomes finer and less dense making it a little less painful.
Q: Am I the hairiest person you've seen? A: No! Everyone says that. Honestly, I don't even pay attention.
Q: What do I need to do before my appointment? A: Let your hair grow! It needs to be a good ¼" long! Also, no tanning for 24 hours before AND after your appointment. Wear loose clothing and avoid lotions or deodorant.
Q: What about after? A: After care is very important to get the best results. Immediately after, don't exercise or work up a sweat, it can lead to breakout. Wear loose clothing after to avoid friction, whether it's your bikini line or underarm, some shirts can cut into your underams. Gently exfoliate between appointments and moisturize too. Make sure to wear your SPF!
Q: I keep getting ingrowns! Help! A: There are a variety of ways to tackle the problem of ingrown hairs. Gentle exfoliation, gentle scrubs, or even an AHA or BHA may be needed! I have mud masks and treatment serums. We can talk about what's best for you at your appointment! PLUS: it's important to moisturize too. The more you sugar and the hair gets finer, it needs to grow through your skin, and if it can't break through layers of dead skin, an ingrown can form. Also, curly hair is more prone to ingrowns.
