Body waxing removes hair from the root for long-lasting smoothness. Expect a thorough, efficient service with results that last up to several weeks.
Choose the waxing option that fits your needs – whether it’s a quick touch-up or full-face glow. Every session includes skin prep and calming serum for a smooth, irritation-free finish.
Most patients get the best results by booking every 4 weeks. This timeline aligns with the average hair growth cycle, helping ensure your hair is at the ideal length for waxing while keeping you consistently smooth. Sticking to a regular schedule also helps train hair to grow back finer and sparser over time.
Hair should be at least a quarter inch long, about the length of a grain of rice, for wax to properly grip and remove it from the root. If your hair is too short, the wax may not be able to fully remove it, leading to patchy results. If it’s your first time or it’s been a while, avoid trimming beforehand and let your specialist assess your growth.
Waxing does involve some discomfort since hair is being removed from the root, but most patients find the sensation quick and manageable, especially with an experienced specialist. Discomfort tends to decrease with regular waxing as hair becomes finer and less dense over time.
Come in with clean, dry skin and avoid applying lotion, oil, or deodorant to the area beforehand. Gently exfoliating a day or two before your appointment can also help prevent ingrown hairs and allow for a smoother wax. Sometimes hairs are trapped under that top layer of dry skin, so buffing that off makes for a better wax.
Back and chest areas have a much higher concentration of sweat follicles compared to other parts of the body, which makes aftercare especially important for these services. Sweat (which contains bacteria your body is getting rid of) can easily get into freshly opened follicles and lead to irritation or breakouts if it’s not managed properly. For at least 24 hours after your service, it’s essential to avoid sweating, always wear loose clothing, and apply our Care Serum or Steer Clear regularly to keep the skin clean, calm, and protected.
Breakouts after initial waxing usually happen because these areas have a high number of sweat follicles. When a follicle is freshly opened from waxing, it becomes more vulnerable, and sweat naturally contains bacteria that can enter the follicle and trigger a reaction, leading to small bumps or breakouts. This is why aftercare is so important! Keeping the skin clean, sanitized, and free of sweat, lotion, and tight clothing for at least 24 hours gives your skin the best chance to heal smoothly.
Body sugaring is a natural alternative that’s gentle on the skin while delivering smooth results. Hair grows back softer over time, with less irritation and fewer ingrowns.
Naturally smooth results with sugar-based hair removal. Ideal for sensitive skin, reducing redness and ingrown hairs.
It really is a matter of personal preference for yuor body, but many patients choose sugaring because of its all natural ingredients and gentler application, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin, eczema, or skin conditions that may react poorly to traditional wax. Sugaring also tends to result in less redness and irritation immediately after the service.
Sugaring can be used on nearly any area of the body, including the legs, arms, back, chest, stomach, and intimate areas like the Brazilian and bikini line. Our specialists can help determine the best method for each area based on your hair type and skin sensitivity. However it is essential to know that if you have extremely thick hair, sugaring typically is not the best method.
Many patients report that sugaring feels more comfortable than waxing since the hair and is removed in the direction of hair growth, which can reduce trauma to the skin and follicle. Comfort levels do vary from person to person, but sugaring is often recommended for those with lower pain tolerance or more sensitive skin.

This service is considered a medical service, so you MUST complete a Medical Clearance Exam FIRST before any services are booked. That can be booked in-person or over zoom. This quick 10 minute consult for our Medical Practitioner to meet you, review your medical forms and assess/confirm and clear you medically as a laser candidate. Once you are approved for treatment, we then may perform your laser session.
Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly done cosmetic procedures in the U.S. It beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorb the light that in result destroys the hair if the hair is in the active growth stage.

The feelings depends on your pain tolerance but most say its relatively painless! People will compare it to the feeling of a rubber band being snapped against the skin. Our laser hair removal machines send a quick spurt of cryogen to rapidly cool the skin before each zap causing a cooling and numbing sensation before the laser beam.
Cryogen is a gas that extracts heat and cools the skin. In return Cryogen also protects the epidermis of the skin when performing laser treatments. Some spas do not use this, but we do! It makes your service super comfortable.
Not having hair in the active growth stage where the hair is attached to the hair follicle, The hair not being dark enough for the laser to attract to & the skin being to dark where the laser cannot find the hair to be able to damage the follicle
YES! Estrogen and progesterone prolong your hair being in the anagen (growth stage) which can cause an increase of hair being present all at the same time. Hormonal changes such as puberty, pregnancy & menopause all are usually effected with excessive hair growth.
The reduction you receive is permanent, but it is impossible to achieve 100% removal of every single follicle in a given area. Over the course of treatment your hair and the amount of it that you have will change dramatically – and we mean dramatically. What starts off as rough, coarse and thick hair will eventually become soft, thin and light hair. You will have areas where the hair has completely disappeared and some areas with sporadic light hairs remain. These hairs will be picked up on your subsequent touch up treatments.
Touch up treatments are recommended to keep these finer hairs away and are typically needed 2-3 times a year.
Laser hair removal will work on thin hairs that contain dark pigment, laser has no effect on light colored hairs that are blonde, red, grey or white in color as they don’t contain enough pigment for the laser to absorb into.
This is all down to the individual. Below is an average number of sessions of someone who has pale skin, dark hair that is dense, has no underlying medical issues and attends for their sessions and top up sessions at the time frame given to them.
– Face 6-12 Sessions (Most difficult areas to treat, due to hair being finer and more follicles being present)
– Bikini and Underarm: 6-10 (Labia is one of the most difficult areas here, due to skin color being darker)
– Large areas, legs/arms etc 6-10 (Knees, Upper thighs due to thick skin on knees or finer hairs on thighs)
– Mans Back/Chest 12-15 sessions due to hair being very strong, coarse and resilient to laser.
After these sessions have been completed maintenance sessions are required, most people will need an average of 2-3 maintenance sessions a year.
