Sugaring
What is sugaring?
Sugaring is a method of sugar hair removal in which hair is removed using a special paste based on sugar. The technique involves applying the paste against the direction of hair growth and removing it in the direction of growth, which allows for more precise hair capture and effective work on different areas of the body.
The texture of the sugar paste makes it effective for working with hair of optimal length—usually about 3–5 mm. Thanks to this, the main contact is with the hair rather than the skin, which makes the process more controlled in terms of sensations and suitable for areas where a careful and precise approach without aggressive impact is important.
Who the procedure is suitable for
Sugaring is suitable for clients with different needs—both for those trying hair removal for the first time and for regular care. Most often, the procedure is chosen when it is important to:
- achieve a neat skin appearance without daily maintenance;
- reduce the risk of irritation after hair removal;
- work with sensitive areas in a comfortable format;
- maintain results for several weeks;
- combine hair removal with other body care procedures.
The procedure is suitable for both women and men—the format and technique are selected individually, taking into account the area and hair growth characteristics.
Areas treated with sugaring
Sugaring allows for delicate work on various areas of the body where precision, neatness, and control of sensations are essential. In practice, the procedure is most often used for:
- arm areas—from individual sections to full treatment;
- leg areas—partially or fully, depending on individual needs;
- the underarm area, where a soft and careful approach is important;
- the abdominal line, as an aesthetic complement to body care;
- the bikini area—in a format that matches personal comfort;
- individual delicate areas of the face and body that require special precision.
The treatment format for each area is selected individually—taking into account skin sensitivity, hair growth direction, and the expected result.

How to prepare for the procedure
To ensure that sugaring is comfortable and delivers a neat result, it is recommended to follow several guidelines before your visit:
- perform a light exfoliation in the treatment area 2–3 days before the procedure;
- take a shower on the day of the visit without using scrubs, oils, or heavy creams;
- hair length should be sufficient for the sugar paste to grip;
- avoid tanning and tanning beds for several days before the procedure;
- choose loose clothing made of natural fabrics after the session;
- inform the specialist if it is your first experience or if you have individual skin characteristics.
How the procedure is performed
The sugaring procedure consists of several sequential stages. First, the specialist assesses the condition of the skin, the direction of hair growth, and selects the optimal technique. Then the area is cleansed and prepared for paste application.
The sugar paste is applied in small sections, which allows for better process control and effective work even in areas where hair grows in different directions. During the procedure, sensations of tension may occur—they are individual and usually short-term. The duration depends on the area and hair characteristics.
The final stage is a soothing aftercare treatment aimed at ensuring skin comfort after the procedure.
Post-procedure care
After sugaring, the skin needs a calm adaptation period. In the first hours after the procedure, it is recommended to:
- avoid intense heat exposure;
- limit active physical activity;
- wear soft, non-tight clothing;
- use moisturizing products and periodically apply light scrubs according to the specialist’s recommendations.
Such care promotes skin comfort and helps prevent ingrown hairs.
Possible sensations and limitations
After the procedure, mild redness or increased sensitivity in the treated area may occur. This is a normal skin reaction to mechanical impact and usually resolves on its own.
PIED-DE-POULE specialists focus on the client’s individual sensations and work at a comfortable pace.
Contraindications to the procedure
Sugaring is a common body care procedure; however, in some cases, hair removal may be temporarily limited. The procedure is not recommended on areas of skin with impaired integrity or pronounced discomfort.
Possible contraindications include:
- open wounds, scratches, or cuts in the treatment area;
- active inflammatory processes or skin irritation;
- rashes or exacerbation of dermatological conditions in the treated area;
- individual sensitivity to the components of the sugar paste;
- periods of increased skin sensitivity after aggressive cosmetic procedures.
If there are doubts or individual skin characteristics, a PIED-DE-POULE specialist assesses the condition of the area immediately before the procedure and, if necessary, recommends postponing the session or choosing an alternative care format.
Sugaring at PIED-DE-POULE is a choice in favor of a neat result, a calm atmosphere, and attentive attention to detail. The procedure is performed with consideration for individual needs and personal rhythm.
