Question 2

Is it possible to get waxed during my menstrual cycle?

Accepted Answer

Certainly, you can still enjoy waxing services at Pia Esthetics Day Spa during your menstrual cycle. Many of our clients choose to keep their waxing appointments, including Brazilian Wax, even when they're on their period. We understand the challenge of scheduling and don't want you to miss your preferred slot! Our primary and important requirement for waxing during menstruation is the use of a tampon.

Question 4

Is the brazilian or completely bare bikini wax (sphynx) a popular choice among women?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we've noticed that more than half of our clients opt for the Brazilian or Completely Bare Bikini Wax (Sphynx). It's a trend that's been growing in popularity, reflecting a desire for a clean, smooth look. For those who prefer a bit of styling, the 'landing strip' is another popular choice, offering a neat and tidy appearance while maintaining some hair. Our experienced aestheticians are skilled in both styles, ensuring a comfortable and satisfying experience for every client. Whether you're a Brazilian wax enthusiast or prefer a more conservative approach like the landing strip, we cater to all preferences with the utmost care and professionalism.

Question 5

I'd like to get a brazilian wax but have never done it before, should I start small?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, starting small is a great way to ease into the world of waxing, especially if you're considering a Brazilian wax. Many of our first-time clients at Pia Esthetics Day Spa initially opt for a bikini line wax or our popular Sexy Bikini wax. The Sexy Bikini wax is a bit more extensive than the basic bikini line wax but doesn't go as far as a full Brazilian. What we've noticed is that many clients, after experiencing the bikini line or Sexy Bikini wax, feel more comfortable and confident to step up to the full Brazilian. They often find that their initial concerns about discomfort were far greater than the actual experience. Our skilled estheticians at Pia Esthetics Day Spa ensure a comfortable and professional waxing experience, making the transition to a Brazilian wax smoother and less daunting. Remember, it's all about your comfort and preference. We're here to guide you through each step and ensure you have the best experience possible.

Question 6

I just shaved, how long should I wait before coming in for waxing?

Accepted Answer

Wait at least two weeks before waxing after shaving. This gives your hair enough time to grow to the optimal length for waxing, which is between 14 and 12 inch. If your hair is too short, the wax won't be able to grip it properly, and you'll be more likely to experience ingrown hairs. If your hair is too long, it can be more painful to wax and may break off instead of being removed from the root. Here's why:When you shave, you only cut the hair at the surface of the skin. The root of the hair remains intact, so the hair will start to grow back quickly. Waxing removes the hair from the root, so it takes longer for the hair to grow back. If you wax before your hair has grown to the proper length, the wax won't be able to grip the root of the hair, and it won't be removed completely. This can lead to ingrown hairs, which are painful and unsightly. Tips for preparing for a wax:Exfoliate your skin the day before your appointment to remove any dead skin cells. This will help to prevent ingrown hairs. Avoid using any lotions or oils on your skin on the day of your appointment. This can make the wax less effective. Wear loose-fitting clothing to your appointment. This will make it easier for the esthetician to wax your hair. Book your waxing appointment at Pia Esthetics Day Spa today! We offer a variety of waxing services for all skin types and needs. Our experienced estheticians will make sure you have a comfortable and relaxing experience.

Question 7

Is it normal for white bumps to form after having a brazilian wax done?

Accepted Answer

Experiencing white bumps post-Brazilian wax, especially if it's your first time, is not uncommon. These bumps often occur when the hair is coarse and deeply rooted in the skin. At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we understand that this might be concerning, but there's no need to worry. A simple and effective remedy is to gently cleanse the area with antibacterial soap and apply an antibacterial lotion, similar to those used for treating breakouts. However, if you notice that these bumps appear consistently after each waxing session, it might indicate a condition known as Folliculitis, which is an inflammation of the hair follicles. For more detailed information about Folliculitis, you can visit MedlinePlus. In some cases, trying a different waxing provider might help determine if the issue is technique-related. However, at Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we pride ourselves on using techniques and products that minimize such reactions. If you have any concerns or persistent issues, we encourage you to discuss them with our skilled estheticians. They can offer personalized advice and solutions tailored to your skin's needs.

Question 8

How can I manage pain before a waxing appointment?

Accepted Answer

Concerned about discomfort during your waxing session? It's a common worry, but we've got you covered at Pia Esthetics Day Spa. While some clients opt for over-the-counter pain relievers like Advil, we have a more tailored solution. "Relax and Wax - No Scream Cream" is our go-to recommendation. This product is specifically designed to minimize discomfort during waxing. It's been a game-changer for many of our clients, helping them to relax and enjoy a more comfortable waxing experience. If you're considering Advil, it can help to some extent. However, the effectiveness varies from person to person. The key is to address the pain directly at its source, and that's where "No Scream Cream" excels. Remember, everyone's pain threshold is different, and what works for one might not work for another. Our expert staff at Pia Esthetics Day Spa are here to guide you and ensure your waxing experience is as comfortable as possible. So, before your next waxing appointment, consider giving "No Scream Cream" a try. It might just be the solution you're looking for to ease your waxing worries.

Question 9

What are the reasons behind the popularity of brazilian waxing among women?

Accepted Answer

Brazilian waxing, a sought-after service at Pia Esthetics Day Spa, is popular for several compelling reasons:It offers a smooth, clean feeling that many women find incredibly refreshing. This sense of cleanliness and freshness is a significant factor in why Brazilian waxing is a preferred choice. Brazilian waxing enhances the comfort and appearance when wearing revealing swimwear or lingerie. It ensures that women can confidently sport their favorite beachwear or intimate apparel without worrying about unwanted hair. Additionally, Brazilian waxing is often appreciated in intimate settings. Many women report that their partners prefer the smooth, hair-free look and feel that comes with a Brazilian wax. Beyond aesthetics, Brazilian waxing can also contribute to personal hygiene. It reduces the trapping of sweat and bacteria, which some find leads to a more hygienic and comfortable experience, especially in warmer climates or during physical activities. At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we understand the diverse reasons our clients choose Brazilian waxing. Our skilled professionals ensure a comfortable, discreet, and satisfying experience, catering to your personal preferences and comfort.

Question 10

I'm too embarrassed to get a brazilian. Can't I just do it myself?

Accepted Answer

Embarking on a DIY Brazilian wax? We'd advise against it. Waxing sensitive areas like the Brazilian zone is a task best left to professionals, like our skilled team at Pia Esthetics Day Spa. Here's why:Waxing this area requires precision and expertise. It's not just about applying wax and pulling. You need to understand the hair growth patterns, which can vary significantly in the Brazilian area. For instance, hair on the labia often grows in multiple directions, necessitating careful, directional waxing. Doing it yourself can lead to ineffective hair removal, intense pain, and even worse, unsightly bruising. Unlike waxing simpler areas like legs, a Brazilian wax demands a certain finesse and technique to ensure a clean, safe, and relatively pain-free experience. At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, our experts are trained to provide a comfortable and efficient Brazilian waxing experience. They know exactly how to hold the skin taut, apply the wax correctly, and remove it swiftly to minimize discomfort and maximize results. So, for a Brazilian wax, it's always wise to trust the professionals. It's not just about removing hair; it's about doing it safely, effectively, and with as little discomfort as possible.

Question 11

If hairs are shorter than 1/4 inch do you still recommend waxing?

Accepted Answer

We advise waiting until your hair reaches at least 14 inch in length before scheduling a waxing appointment. Waxing hair shorter than this length can lead to an incomplete removal, resulting in a less satisfactory outcome. Our expert estheticians are trained in the most efficient waxing techniques, ensuring minimal discomfort and the best results. Waxing shorter hair can be more challenging and potentially more uncomfortable for you. For the smoothest, most effective waxing experience, it's best to let your hair grow to the recommended length. If you're unsure or have more questions, feel free to reach out to us at Pia Esthetics Contact Page. We're here to ensure your waxing experience is top-notch, from start to finish!

Question 12

Does the bare bikini wax cause more discomfort compared to the brazilian wax?

Accepted Answer

In our experience at Pia Esthetics Day Spa, clients may find the Bare Bikini Wax to be slightly more sensitive than the Brazilian Wax. This is primarily because the front part of the pubic area tends to be more sensitive for most people. However, it's important to note that the difference in discomfort is minimal. The procedure is quick, and our skilled aestheticians ensure it's as comfortable as possible. The additional step of removing just one more line of hair is done swiftly, minimizing any discomfort. Remember, our team at Pia Esthetics Day Spa is dedicated to providing a comfortable and professional waxing experience, whether you choose a Brazilian or Bare Bikini Wax.

Question 13

What are the chances of getting herpes infection with wax? Get the facts.

Accepted Answer

* disclosure:For your peace of mind, we do not double dip. ever. At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, your safety is our top priority, and we strictly adhere to sanitary practices, including never double-dipping during waxing. The concern about contracting herpes or any STD through waxing is largely based on myths and misinformation. To set the record straight, we consulted several gynecologists who confirmed that the likelihood of catching an STD, including herpes, from waxing is extremely low, almost negligible. Here's why:The herpes virus does not survive for long outside the human body. Moreover, the high temperature of the waxing pot is sufficient to kill any bacteria or viruses that might be present. The practice of double-dipping (using the same stick more than once) does not increase this risk, but for added safety, our estheticians always use a new stick for each application. To further ease your concerns, consider the analogy of nail polish in a salon. Even if a person with hepatitis has their cuticles touched by the brush, which then goes back into the bottle, the bottle's contents are too chemically hostile for bacteria to survive. We understand that this topic can be sensitive, so we've gathered some informative links for further reading:The Origins of the Urban Legend MedHelp. org:STD Forum - Waxing Question Answered by Doctors HuffPost:Relax, You Won't Get An STD From Bikini Waxing The claim that eyebrow waxers are at risk of contracting herpes from unsanitary equipment has been investigated and found to be false, according to Snopes. The rumor suggests that herpes can be transmitted through virus-contaminated eyebrow waxing implements. However, upon consulting the National Herpes Hotline, it was clarified that herpes is a "very fragile virus" and could not survive on the implement used to apply the wax, nor in the warm wax itself. Additionally, there have been no documented cases of herpes being transmitted in this manner. Herpes is a common virus, with a significant percentage of American adults having oral herpes, and about one in four adults in the United States having genital herpes. However, the idea of contracting herpes at waxing salons due to poor hygiene is more of an urban legend than a medical fact. This rumor reflects societal fears about dread diseases being contracted through seemingly safe activities, but in the case of waxing and herpes, there is no substantiated risk. For any further concerns or questions, feel free to reach out to us at Pia Esthetics Day Spa. We're here to ensure your waxing experience is not only effective but also safe and comfortable.

Question 14

How long after a bikini wax is it safe to go swimming in a chlorine pool?

Accepted Answer

It's generally safe to swim in a chlorine pool on the same day as your bikini wax, provided your skin isn't overly sensitive. However, at Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we advise our clients to be cautious about certain activities post-waxing. Direct sun exposure should be avoided for at least 24 hours following your waxing session. This precaution is crucial because freshly waxed skin is more vulnerable to severe sunburns. Similarly, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before entering sea water. Salt water can potentially cause irritation or a burning sensation on freshly waxed skin. Our priority is your comfort and the health of your skin, so these guidelines are designed to ensure a smooth and enjoyable post-waxing experience. Remember, every skin type is unique, and some may be more sensitive than others. If you have any concerns or specific skin conditions, feel free to discuss them with our experienced estheticians at Pia Esthetics Day Spa. They can provide tailored advice to suit your individual needs. Explore Our Waxing Services | Contact Us for Personalized Care

Question 15

What disqualifies someone for a brazillian or bikini wax?

Accepted Answer

It is not recomended to perform any type of waxing services on someone that is taking high doses of Blood thinners and Diabetic clients. Anybody with any type of skin disorder such as Fungus, Hives, severe allergic reactions, eccema etc or STD can't have waxing services. At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we prioritize your safety and skin health. Certain conditions and factors can make waxing unsuitable. These include:Medications and Skin Treatments:If you're on antibiotics, acne treatments, or using skin-thinning products, it's safer to skip waxing. These can heighten skin sensitivity, increasing the risk of irritation or injury. Skin and Health Conditions:Challenges like varicose veins, skin disorders, diabetes, and undergoing cancer therapy can make waxing risky. Our team is trained to identify these issues and advise accordingly. Also, anybody with any type of skin disorder such as Fungus, Hives, severe allergic reactions, eccema etc or STD is not elegible for waxing services. Lifestyle and Sensitivity:Factors like menstruation, pregnancy, smoking, or recent caffeinealcohol consumption can make your skin more reactive. We recommend a patch test for those with heightened sensitivity due to these conditions. Exfoliation:Using strong exfoliators? Let your skin rest for a few days before and after waxing to prevent adverse reactions. Your well-being is our top priority. If you have any concerns or questions about whether waxing is right for you, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Pia Esthetics Day Spa Contact. We're here to ensure your experience is not only enjoyable but also safe and tailored to your unique needs.

Question 16

Is it ok for kids to get waxed?

Accepted Answer

At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we understand that waxing for children can be a topic of consideration for many parents. We find it safe and appropriate to offer waxing services for legs, arms, brows, and lip for children. However, we require that the minor is accompanied by an adult, who must be present in the room during the procedure. In various cultures around the world, introducing children to waxing at a younger age is quite common. Parents often see the benefits of early waxing, such as reduced hair growth and thickness over time. While children's skin can be more sensitive, leading to some initial redness, many adapt well to the process. With subsequent sessions, the skin typically becomes more accustomed to waxing, and any initial sensitivity tends to diminish. It's important to note that every child's skin is different, and what works for one may not be suitable for another. We prioritize the comfort and safety of our younger clients and provide a gentle, caring approach to our waxing services. If you're considering waxing for your child and have questions or concerns, we're here to help. Please visit Pia Esthetics Contact Page for more information or to discuss your child's specific needs. Our experienced estheticians are trained to provide a comfortable and safe waxing experience for clients of all ages.

Question 17

How long does a person stay smooth after getting a brazilian wax?

Accepted Answer

The duration of smoothness after a Brazilian wax at Pia Esthetics Day Spa can vary from person to person, as each individual has a unique hair growth cycle. On average, clients enjoy a silky, smooth feeling for about 2 to 3 weeks following their Brazilian wax session. It's important to understand that hair growth is influenced by several factors, including genetics, hormonal balance, and personal health. Therefore, some may notice their hair growing back slightly sooner, while others may enjoy smoothness for a longer period. To maintain the best results, regular waxing sessions are recommended. Over time, many clients find that their hair grows back finer and sparser, extending the periods of smoothness. Additionally, our expert estheticians can provide personalized advice on aftercare and how to extend the benefits of your Brazilian wax. For more information or to book your next Brazilian wax, feel free to visit Pia Esthetics Contact Page. We're here to ensure you have the most comfortable and effective waxing experience, tailored to your individual needs.

Question 18

Is the second waxing session less painful than the first?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! When you return for your second waxing session at Pia Esthetics Day Spa, you're likely to find it a more comfortable experience. Here's why:The hair is shorter, thinner, and less dense during your second wax. Since these hairs haven't fully matured, they're easier to remove, which typically means less discomfort for you. Not only is the second session less painful, but it's also often quicker. With less hair to remove, the process is more efficient. There's also a bonus in effectiveness. During your first wax, especially if you have a lot of hair, some hairs might break at the surface rather than being pulled from the root. This can lead to quicker regrowth. However, in your second session, the hair removal is more thorough, leading to longer-lasting smoothness. Remember, consistency is key. Regular waxing sessions can lead to finer and sparser hair growth over time, making each session progressively easier. So, if you're considering a second waxing appointment, rest assured that it's generally a smoother and less painful experience. At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we're committed to making your waxing sessions as comfortable and effective as possible.

Question 19

Does waxing the bikini area cause itchiness during hair regrowth?

Accepted Answer

At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, many clients find that waxing the bikini area leads to less itchiness compared to other hair removal methods. This is because waxing removes hair from the root, resulting in regrowth that is typically thinner and softer. Unlike shaving, which cuts the hair at the skin's surface and can cause sharp, stubbly regrowth, waxing ensures that the new hair is finer and less likely to cause discomfort or itchiness. It's important to note that individual experiences may vary, but generally, waxing is a preferred method for those looking to avoid the itchiness and irritation often associated with shaving. Our expert aestheticians at Pia Esthetics Day Spa are skilled in providing a comfortable waxing experience, ensuring that your skin remains smooth and irritation-free.

Question 20

Are razor bumps along the bikini line treated with any of the bikini waxes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we understand the frustration of dealing with razor bumps, a common issue for many who shave the bikini area. Waxing can be a game-changer in this regard. Unlike shaving, which often causes irritation and bumps due to the sharpness of the blade and the angle of hair growth, waxing removes hair from the root. This method not only ensures a smoother finish but also helps in reducing the occurrence of razor bumps. When you switch from shaving to waxing, you'll notice that the hair grows back softer and finer. This change in texture significantly minimizes the risk of developing those pesky, uncomfortable bumps. Plus, our skilled estheticians at Pia Esthetics Day Spa use high-quality waxes and techniques that are gentle on your skin, further reducing the likelihood of irritation. Remember, consistency is key! Regular waxing sessions can improve the condition of your skin over time, making it smoother and more resistant to common issues like razor bumps. If you're ready to say goodbye to razor bumps and hello to smoother skin, book your appointment with us today at Pia Esthetics Day Spa Contact. We're here to help you achieve the silky-smooth skin you deserve!

Question 22

Is it safe for pregnant women to get a brazilian wax?

Accepted Answer

It's always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before scheduling your waxing appointment during pregnancy. Once you're all set, our team at Pia Esthetics Day Spa is here to provide you with a comfortable and safe waxing experience. Learn More About Our Waxing Services

Question 23

Will I feel discomfort wearing my clothes right after a brazilian wax?

Accepted Answer

After a Brazilian wax, it's quite common to have concerns about clothing comfort. We recommend wearing 100% cotton underwear post-waxing to ensure maximum comfort and to minimize any potential irritation. Cotton is breathable and gentle on the skin, making it an ideal choice after such a sensitive treatment. It's also advisable to avoid thong or t-back style underwear for at least the next 24 hours. These styles can cause friction and increased sensitivity in the freshly waxed area, potentially leading to discomfort or irritation. Opting for looser, more breathable styles can significantly enhance your post-waxing experience. In addition to the type of underwear, consider wearing loose-fitting clothes for a day or so after your wax. Tight clothing can rub against the waxed area and might lead to discomfort or even minor irritation. Remember, every individual's skin reacts differently, and some may experience more sensitivity than others. If you have any specific concerns or need further advice on post-wax care, feel free to reach out to us. Visit Pia Esthetics Contact Page for more information or to book your next appointment. Our goal is to ensure your waxing experience is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Question 24

I occasionally suffer from folliculitis. Will waxing aggravate this?

Accepted Answer

If you have a history of folliculitis, waxing might exacerbate the condition. Folliculitis is a skin issue where hair follicles become inflamed, often due to infection or irritation. At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we prioritize your skin's health and well-being. Therefore, we strongly recommend consulting with your dermatologist before proceeding with any hair removal treatment, including waxing. Your dermatologist can provide personalized advice based on your skin's condition and history of folliculitis. They might suggest alternative hair removal methods that are gentler on your skin or provide specific guidelines to follow if you decide to proceed with waxing. At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we are committed to providing a comfortable and safe waxing experience. Our skilled estheticians are trained to handle various skin types and conditions with utmost care. If you decide to go ahead with waxing after consulting your dermatologist, please inform our staff about your skin condition. This will enable us to tailor our approach to ensure the best possible care for your skin. Explore Our Waxing Services | Contact Us for Personalized Advice

Question 25

How long will I feel pain after the brazilian wax?

Accepted Answer

At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we understand that the comfort of our clients post-waxing is just as important as the procedure itself. When it comes to a Brazilian wax, most clients experience minimal discomfort immediately after the procedure, which typically subsides within a few hours. It's normal for first-timers or those with thicker hair (often due to prolonged shaving) to experience a bit more soreness. This is because the hair is denser and more deeply rooted, making the waxing process slightly more intense. However, this discomfort is usually short-lived and diminishes quickly. To enhance your post-waxing experience, we recommend a few simple steps:Avoid tight clothing immediately after your wax to prevent irritation. Apply a soothing lotion or aloe vera to calm the skin. Avoid hot baths or showers for at least a few hours post-wax. Remember, regular waxing can actually reduce the pain over time. As you continue with your waxing routine, hair tends to grow back finer and less dense, making each subsequent waxing session more comfortable. For more tips on post-wax care or to book your Brazilian wax appointment, visit Pia Esthetics Contact Page. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your waxing experience is as smooth and comfortable as possible, from start to finish.

Question 26

Are wax treatments available for men?

Whether it's for the back, chest, arms, legs, or even the male bikini area, our skilled estheticians are here to provide top-notch service. It's important to note that when it comes to waxing the male bikini area, only certain estheticians at Pia Esthetics specialize in this service.

Question 27

What happens if someone has a reaction to wax?

Accepted Answer

While it's rare, some clients may experience an allergic reaction to wax. At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we understand that everyone's skin is different, and reactions, though uncommon, can occur. These reactions might include symptoms like swelling, itchiness, or a rash. It's important to note that such reactions are unpredictable and can happen to anyone, regardless of their previous waxing experiences. In the event of an allergic reaction, we recommend applying a lotion containing hydrocortisone to the affected area. This can help alleviate the symptoms and provide relief. Our team at Pia Esthetics Day Spa is committed to ensuring the comfort and safety of our clients. We advise anyone who experiences a reaction to contact us immediately, so we can provide guidance and support. Remember, your well-being is our top priority. If you have sensitive skin or have had reactions in the past, please let us know before your appointment. We're here to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable waxing experience for everyone.

Question 29

I'm using differin. Should I get waxed?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely essential to know:If you're using Differin or similar skin treatments, waxing might not be suitable for you. At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we prioritize your skin's health and safety. Products like Differin, Retin-A, Accutane, Obagi, and Glycolics have potent effects on the skin, increasing its sensitivity and vulnerability to peeling, especially when waxed. If you're considering facial waxing, it's crucial to pause these medications at least 8 days before your appointment. More importantly, always inform your esthetician about any skin treatments you're undergoing. This transparency allows our skilled professionals to assess your skin's condition and decide whether it's safe to proceed with the waxing service. Remember, your skin's well-being is our top priority. If you have any concerns or need further guidance, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Pia Esthetics Day Spa Contact Page. We're here to ensure your beauty treatments are both enjoyable and safe.

Question 31

What is the reason it is not recommended to wax over varicose veins?

Accepted Answer

It's not safe to wax over varicose veins because the pulling of the skin can cause a damaged vein to worsen its condition. We recommend you to get treated before considering waxing.

Question 32

How long after leg waxing are you able to sunbathe

Accepted Answer

After enjoying a leg waxing session at Pia Esthetics Day Spa, it's crucial to give your skin some time to recuperate before hitting the beach or poolside for sunbathing. We strongly recommend waiting at least 24 hours post-waxing before exposing your skin to direct sunlight. This guideline is particularly important for individuals with fair or sensitive skin, where a waiting period of 48 hours is advisable. The reason behind this precaution is simple yet vital for your skin's health. Waxing, while effective and providing long-lasting smoothness, can leave your skin slightly vulnerable. The process removes hair from the root, which can temporarily increase skin sensitivity. Exposing freshly waxed skin to the sun too soon can lead to heightened risks, including sunburn and irritation. This is why it's essential to allow a sufficient healing period. To ensure your skin remains in top condition after waxing, consider using a gentle, soothing lotion and avoid any harsh skincare products during the recovery phase. Remember, taking care of your skin post-waxing is just as important as the waxing procedure itself for achieving that flawless, smooth look.

Question 33

After eyebrow waxing how long does the swelling usually last?

Accepted Answer

Following an eyebrow waxing session, it's common to experience some redness and a bit of swelling. Typically, these mild reactions should subside within 24 hours. This is a normal part of the skin's response to the waxing process, as the removal of hair can temporarily irritate the skin around the eyebrows. However, if you notice that the redness or swelling persists for more than 24 hours, it may indicate that your skin is particularly sensitive to waxing. In such cases, it's important to monitor your skin's reaction and consider consulting with a skincare professional. At Pia Esthetics, we take great care in ensuring that our waxing procedures are as gentle and skin-friendly as possible. Our experienced estheticians are skilled in providing a comfortable experience, minimizing potential skin irritation. We also offer aftercare advice to help soothe your skin post-waxing.

Question 34

Is ok to get facial waxing the same day I get a facial without skin irritation?

Accepted Answer

It's generally advised to avoid combining facial waxing with a facial treatment on the same day. At Pia Esthetics Day Spa, we prioritize your skin's health and safety. Most facials include an exfoliation process, which can make the skin more sensitive and susceptible to irritation. Adding waxing to this can increase the risk of skin irritation or peeling. However, there are exceptions, such as eyebrow waxing, which might be safely combined with a facial in certain circumstances. This decision is made based on the esthetician's assessment of your skin's condition and sensitivity on the day of your appointment. Our skilled estheticians at Pia Esthetics Day Spa will evaluate your skin and advise you on the best course of action to ensure your skin remains healthy and radiant. If you're considering both treatments, we recommend discussing your skin's condition and treatment history with our estheticians. They can provide personalized advice and schedule your appointments appropriately to ensure the best results for your skin.

Question 35

Is depilation a contraindication if someone has a heart condition?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to depilation, particularly waxing, at Pia Esthetics Day Spa, there are no broadly known contraindications for individuals with heart conditions. However, it's important to consider certain factors on an individual basis. If you are extremely nervous, have a low tolerance for pain, or if your heart condition is particularly delicate, these could be considerations to keep in mind.
