Care Instructions
Follow these simple guidelines for the best possible waxing results and a smooth recovery.
Before & After
Proper preparation and aftercare are essential for a comfortable waxing experience and smooth, long-lasting results. Follow these guidelines from our expert estheticians at Male Brazilian Waxing NYC.
Whether it's your first visit or your twentieth, these care instructions will help you get the most out of every session.
Before Your Appointment
A little preparation goes a long way toward a more comfortable and effective waxing session.
About two to three weeks of growth. This is the ideal length for the wax to grip the hair effectively. If it's too short, the wax can't adhere properly.
Arrive clean and freshly showered. Clean skin helps the wax adhere better and ensures a more hygienic treatment.
An over-the-counter pain reliever taken 30 minutes before your appointment can help reduce sensitivity, especially for first-timers.
Loose, breathable clothes reduce friction on freshly waxed skin and keep you comfortable after your appointment.
Tension makes the skin tighter and can increase sensitivity. Take a deep breath — our experienced estheticians will take care of everything.
After Your Appointment
Follow these aftercare steps to protect your skin and maximize the longevity of your results.
Freshly waxed skin is sensitive to UV. Avoid direct sun and tanning beds for at least 48 hours.
Avoid hot baths, saunas, and steam rooms for 24 hours. Lukewarm showers are fine.
Sweat and friction from exercise can irritate freshly waxed skin. Rest for 24 hours before working out.
Chlorine and bacteria in pools can irritate open follicles. Wait 48 hours before swimming.
Stick with loose, breathable fabrics for at least a day to prevent friction and irritation.
Give your skin time to calm down. Avoid sexual activity for 12 to 24 hours after waxing.
Avoid scented lotions, deodorants, and moisturizers on waxed areas for at least 12 hours to prevent irritation.
