Facial Waxing Ottawa: Helpful Tips for Pre and Post Wax

If this is your first time getting a facial wax service, here’s what you need to know for planning and preparing for your appointment.

A good idea is to take an Advil before your appointment. This won’t just help with the pain, it will also combat your body’s natural inflammatory reaction to the waxing, helping to reduce redness and swelling.



Exfoliating will also help prevent an unwanted ingrown hairs: exfoliate the evening or morning before your appointment for best results.

If you are new to waxing, the bad news is that the first time is usually the most painful. The good news? The first time is usually the most painful. After that, the pain will decrease with each appointment. Waxing veterans hardly bat an eye!

Facial Waxing & Hair Growth

There is a common myth that waxing hair will make it grow back faster, darker, and thicker. The good news is that waxing won’t affect that thickness or growth rate of your hair. Instead, it will help to remove the root of the hair, and this will prevent the hair from growing back faster, giving you more time between hair being noticeable.

Another myth is that body hair is unhygienic. This is also a misconception. There is nothing wrong with body hair or facial hair. Despite what media may portray, facial hair is very common among females. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about, and more and more women are flaunting it freely and unashamedly. However, unattended to hair that grows longer is sometimes accompanied with other unhygenic habits, which has given it a bad rap.

Facial Waxing, Does it Hurt?

Generally speaking, facial waxing doesn’t hurt. The most sensitive areas on your face will be your nostrils, your ears, your upper lips, and your eyebrows. But as mentioned above, this usually gets better with time and is nothing to fear. Waxing specialists are experts at making your experience as painless as possible. It’s also recommended to take an advil before your appointment. This will help with pain, but will also reduce redness and swelling as advil is an anti inflammatory. Exfoliation will also help to reduce ingrown hairs, which, if left untreated can become painful. Exfoliation is recommended a few hairs before treatment, so a good idea is to exfoliate the night before or morning of your appointment.
