Waxing Aftercare Advice

After any waxing appointment it is important to ensure you look after your skin in the days following. This will help ensure the best possible result from the treatment.

Some slight soreness, small bumps and redness are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions, particularly after your first wax.
These symptoms usually subside over the 24-48 hours following the treatment.


You should keep the waxed area clean, and avoid heat and friction during the next 24 – 48 hours.
This usually means:
  • No hot baths or showers (warm is fine);
  • No saunas, steam rooms or hot tubs;
  • No tanning (sunbathing, sunbeds or fake tans);
  • No sport, gym, or other exercise;
  • Avoid scratching or touching the treated area with unwashed hands;
  • Wear clean, loose fitting clothes;
  • Avoid swimming in chlorinated water;
  • Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or other products to the area, other then those recommended by your therapist;
  • To sooth and protect the skin, apply an antiseptic cream to the waxed area regularly for 3 days. Always wash your hands before applying any product.
  • You may notice a small amount of regrowth after a week or so. It can take upto four treatments for your hair to get on a growth cycle that gives the best results.

​Hair needs to be at least 5mm long before it can be successfully removed by waxing. Please do not shave between appointments. To maintain your smooth appearance we recommend regular waxing every 4 – 6 weeks.

To prevent ingrown hairs Starting a few days after your appointment, gently scrub the skin three times a week in the bath or shower using a loofah, exfoliating mitt or Outback after waxing care products. Also moisturise the area every day, this will help keep the skin supple and help new hairs to grow through normally.

Electrolysis aftercare

Please read these After-Care Notes carefully and follow the recommendation

We use ‘ Disposable STEREX Needles’ and the full range of STEREX Professional Hygiene products to ensure your comfort and safety, as part of the special care we take to protect you from infection.

A good programme of hygienic home-care will avoid any spots or minor infections occurring. It is important for you to remember to take extra care of the treated area, especially within the first 36/48 hours giving the skin a chance to settle and to allow it to return to normal.

One of the STEREX Apres Cosmetic aftercare range has been applied to the treated area immediately after your treatment. This range has been specifically formulated for use after Electrolysis to soothe your skin, and help prevent any infection of the treated follicles which will be more prone to infection after the hairs have been removed.

​The STEREX Apres product should be left undisturbed for at least 24 hours. Further applications can be made if required. The STEREX Apres tinted creams can also be used instead of foundation. ALWAYS use a small clean pad of cotton wool to apply the cream, and use a fresh pad for each area.


REGROWTH -  Hair should not be plucked or removed with a wax or cream remover between treatments. It is safer to simply cut any noticeable hairs with scissors.

HEAT -  Do not cover the treated area with scarfs, masks or head coverings - by not allowing the skin to cool and applying additional heat can cause inflammation, irritation and blistering.

EXPOSURE TO U.V.A. - It is also advisable to avoid exposing the treated area to direct sunlight or to a sunbed treatment. If necessary a high factor sun protective cream should be used.

BLEACHING -  If you use a product to bleach the downy growth between treatments it should not be applied for at least 48 hours.

USE OF MAKE-UP -  The skin should be left for a sufficient period of time for healing to take place before any make-up is applied. It must always be removed gently and safely with unperfumed products that are suitable for sensitive skins. Lotions are less prone to promote infection than cream products.

SKIN CARE - A rich night cream or moisturiser should not be applied for 48 hours. After this time the area can be massaged to promote the healing process and complete recovery of the treated area. If a rash or minor infection appears at any time on the treated area an antiseptic cream as recommended can be used. Cortisone/steroid or same should not be used.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT HANDS MUST BE WASHED BEFORE AND AFTER TOUCHING THE SKIN ON THE TREATED AREA
