Some areas are simple to shave at home. Others are harder to reach, easier to irritate, or benefit from the control of a trained waxer. At Skin MD and Beyond in Plano, TX, our facial and body waxing program is directed and developed by Fiona Wright, MD. The selected therapists at our Beyond Spa complete ongoing training and testing, which is especially valuable when working on delicate facial skin, the bikini area, or larger body regions.
Brows and Facial Areas Benefit From Precision
On the face, a few hairs can noticeably change the shape of a brow or the appearance of the skin. Waxing removes multiple hairs at once and allows a trained therapist to work within a defined shape. Patients who want more detailed eyebrow grooming may also consider our brow contouring services.
Facial skin may be more reactive than skin on the legs or back. Retinoids, recent sun exposure, and some laser treatments can leave it more vulnerable to irritation. Sharing your current skin care and recent procedures before waxing helps our team judge whether your skin is in good condition for the service.
Bikini and Sensitive Areas Call for Careful Technique
The bikini area is another place where professional technique can make a difference. Skin here can be sensitive, and post-wax redness or small bumps are possible. Our therapists use methods meant to reduce discomfort during intimate services.
The type of wax can matter, too. Our office uses both strip wax and strip-less hard wax. Hard wax has less adhesion to the skin and may be useful for people with sensitive skin, although the process takes a little longer.
Hard-to-Reach Areas Are Easier to Maintain Professionally
Back, shoulders, chest, abdomen, arms, and legs can all be difficult to wax evenly on your own. Professional waxing can make hair removal on these larger regions more practical. Our waxing for men services also include the face, back, shoulders, chest, arms, and legs.
Many clients return about every four to six weeks, although timing varies with hair growth and the treatment area. Facial and underarm services may need more frequent upkeep.
When Might You Prefer Laser Hair Removal?
Waxing removes existing hair and requires repeat visits. If your priority is longer-term hair reduction, laser hair removal may be worth considering for certain areas and hair types.
