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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
