Underarm Waxing
Underarm waxing is an effective procedure for removing unwanted hair in a delicate area. The method allows you to maintain smooth skin for several weeks and avoid daily shaving.
At PIED-DE-POULE, professional underarm waxing is performed with consideration of skin sensitivity, hair density, and individual growth patterns.
Underarm Waxing: How the Method Works
Underarm waxing involves removing hair from the root using warm or hot wax. The product is applied in the direction of hair growth and then removed in one precise motion together with the hair.
Thanks to strong hair grip, the procedure provides a noticeable result after the first session. With regular waxing, hair gradually becomes finer and growth slows down.
Waxing the Underarms: Area-Specific Features
The underarm area is sensitive and requires careful technique and proper temperature control. That is why the procedure is performed with attention to skin condition and individual tolerance.
The session usually takes 10–20 minutes and delivers smooth, even-looking skin. If necessary, the specialist may recommend an alternative hair removal method based on your skin type.
Benefits of Underarm Waxing
Compared to shaving, underarm waxing offers several advantages:
- smooth skin for up to 3–4 weeks;
- hair removal from the root;
- gradual thinning of hair;
- more refined aesthetic appearance;
- reduced need for frequent maintenance.
Preparation for the Procedure
For best results, it is recommended to:
- avoid shaving the area for 5–7 days before the appointment;
- limit sun exposure prior to the procedure;
- avoid applying deodorants or heavy creams on the day of the visit;
- inform the specialist about any skin sensitivity.
The optimal hair length for waxing is approximately 5 mm.
Contraindications for Underarm Waxing
Although the method is considered safe, the procedure is not performed in cases of:
- damaged skin (cuts, irritation, inflammation);
- infectious or fungal conditions;
- severe allergic reactions;
- individual intolerance to wax components;
- exacerbation of dermatological conditions.
After intense sun exposure or sunburn, it is recommended to postpone the procedure until the skin has fully recovered.
Before starting the session, the specialist assesses the condition of the area to ensure the procedure can be performed safely.
Aftercare Following the Procedure
After waxing, it is important to follow simple guidelines:
- avoid deodorants for 12–24 hours;
- refrain from saunas and hot baths;
- do not use scrubs in the first days;
- maintain regular skin hydration.
Following these recommendations helps minimize the risk of irritation and prolong the smoothness effect.
