Question 1

how can i make waxing less painful?

Accepted Answer

I am not sure: that there is a way to make it less painful. I am not an expert in the field but the waxing facility may offer a product which may numb or help with pain from such a procedure. I think of topical lidocaine, but I don't know if that is practical to use all over the body. Discuss with your waxing specialist. Best of luck!

Question 2

what is a pain free way to epulate or wax?

Accepted Answer

Reduce pain: I try not to promote any products. But you can use products like No Scream Cream which is about 20% Benzocaine. Consider taking an anti-inflammatory  30 to 45 minutes before waxing.

Question 3

do you think i should try waxing down there?

Accepted Answer

Depends on goal: As a first trial, you should consider a professional studio which does waxing.  Then you can observe how it is done, how it feels and what the results are.  There are home waxing kits available for the less expensive, personal job although it is difficult to be as thorough when you are doing it yourself.

Question 4

dont like to wax down there so shave. would men be turn off about this?

Accepted Answer

No/yes: I am surprised by the number of my male patients who find the "brazilian" way so sexy.Do what is best for you and your partner(hopefully few and using protection).

Question 5

should i weave, wax or pluck brows?

Accepted Answer

Weaving and plucking: Weaving and plucking  when properly done have very little pull on the eyebrow therefor the least to affect the eyebrow position long term.  Waxing usually has a sudden and strong pull on the eyebrow that can evetually lead to drooping eyebrows.

Question 6

do waxing burns fade?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Waxing burns are usually superficial and tend to fade with time.  If needed, you can use an over-the-counter or prescription fading cream that contains hydroquinone as its active ingredient.  Be sure to use sunscreen also, as sun makes dark marks darker.  If you are using a retinoid (prescription) or retinol, be sure to stop it at least 3 days before waxing or request hard wax to prevent burns.

Question 7

are brazilian waxes safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Though you have to watch out for ingrown hairs as the hair regrows, waxing is safe as long as the wax isn't so hot it burns you! some of the skin in the genital area is quite tender, so there can be irritation regardless of the hair removal technique used.

Question 8

are brazilian waxes good?

Accepted Answer

I don't know...: But they look great!

Question 9

how painful are bikini waxes?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: I have heard that it is quite painful but very fast if done correctly.

Question 10

is nair bad and is waxing better?

Accepted Answer

Personal Choice: It is a personal choice
Some people do not like Nair as it smells and has to be left for too long it burns and if you don't leave long enough the hair is still there
Waxing has less side effects,but can also have problems and soe prefer shaving
