A Brazilian wax is a type of waxing treatment that involves the removal of hair from the pubic area, including the front, back, and everything in between. Depending on your preferences, you can choose to remove all hair in the area or leave a small strip of hair in the front.

Skindeep’s Brazilian waxing technique, using only hot wax and not strip wax,  has been developed and perfected for 30 years to ensure a treatment that is as pain free, fast and effective as possible.

To prepare for your Brazilian wax:

• Make sure your hair is at least ¼-inch long — about the size of a grain of rice. 
• Gently exfoliate a couple of days before your appointment to help prevent ingrown hairs. 
• Cut down on alcohol and caffeine the day of your appointment. Both can cause your pores to tighten and make waxing more painful.
• Wear breathable, cotton underwear or loose bottoms to your appointment for maximum comfort. 

Waxing typically provides smooth results for about 3 to 6 weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles.

While everyone’s pain tolerance varies, waxing may cause some discomfort.

However, our experienced beauty therapists use techniques that we have been perfecting for over 30 years and high-quality waxes to minimise discomfort and ensure a more comfortable experience.

At Skindeep we only use Hot Wax (not strip wax) on sensitive areas like the Bikini, Underarms and Face. 

Hot wax is applied directly to the skin and removed without the need for strips, making it suitable for sensitive areas. Strip wax involves applying a thin layer of wax and removing it with strips.

Ideally, your hair should be about ¼ to ½ inch long, or roughly the length of a grain of rice, for the best waxing results.

To prepare for Waxing treatments: 

• Hair should be about ¼ to ½ inch long, or roughly the length of a grain of rice, for the best waxing results.
• If you have been shaving allow 2-3 weeks growth before a wax.
• Trim your hair down to 2cm before you have any bikini, chest or back wax.
• Exfoliate the area the night before waxing for a smoother finish.
• If you are sensitive to waxing avoid it a few days before, or the first day of your menstrual cycle as your pain threshold can be reduced.
• Avoid heat treatments eg. sauna’s 24hrs pre-wax. 
• Schedule your waxing at 48hrs before you plan to apply any false tan.
• For facial waxing, avoid using AHA’s, BHA’s and Retinol in the area for 2-3 days pre-wax and post-wax. 

• Avoid heat treatments for 24-48 hours E.g Sauna
• Avoid swimming and exercise that induces excessive perspiration for 24-48 hours. 
• Do not apply perfumed products to the area for 24-48 hours. 
• Avoid tight clothing for 24-48hours. 
• Wait 24-48 Hours before applying false tan. 
• Wait 48 hours before using AHA, BHA or Retinol products in the treated area.
