Waxing

Remove unwanted hair with a waxing treatment at our Zi Medspa

Getting rid of unwanted hair can be a frustrating process that seems to never end. Waxing is a safe and effective hair removal method that can remove unwanted hair from almost anywhere on your body. At Zi MedSpa, waxing performed by our trained and licensed aestheticians can leave you with smooth, beautiful skin.

How the process works

A licensed and experienced aesthetician will assess the area that is being waxed and determine the best wax and technique to use. Hard wax is often used for sensitive areas such as the face or bikini area, as it adheres only to the hair and not the skin. Soft wax is typically used on larger areas of the body such as the legs or back.

The aesthetician will apply the warm or hot wax to the skin in the direction of hair growth with a spatula or roller. They usually work in small sections to make sure the wax is applied evenly.

Once the wax has cooled and hardened, the aesthetician will quickly remove it in the opposite direction of hair growth. The process is repeated until all unwanted hair is removed.

When the waxing has been completed, the aesthetician may apply a lotion or cream on the skin to help reduce redness and irritation.

The benefits of waxing

Why should you consider waxing to remove unwanted hair? Here are some of the benefits:

• Long-lasting results: Compared to other hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing can provide longer-lasting results, with many people experiencing hair-free skin for up to four weeks.
• Reduced regrowth: Repeated waxing can lead to finer and sparser hair regrowth that is less noticeable, making it a good option for long-term hair removal.
• Smoother skin: Waxing removes hair from the root, leaving the skin feeling smoother and softer than other hair removal methods.
• Exfoliation: When the wax is removed, it takes away dead skin cells in addition to hair, providing a gentle exfoliation that leaves you with healthier, smoother, and brighter skin.
• Convenience: Waxing is a relatively quick and convenient method of removing hair that can be performed on most areas of the body in as little as 15 minutes and usually no more than an hour.
