Frequently Asked Questions
Waxing can keep your skin smooth for 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. Because we remove hair from the root, it takes longer to grow back compared to shaving. With regular treatments, many clients notice finer, slower regrowth.
It’s best to avoid our hair removal services in Royal Oak, MI, like waxing and electrolysis while using retinol or similar skincare products. Retinol makes the skin more sensitive and fragile, which can increase the risk of irritation or peeling during waxing. Your provider may recommend pausing retinol a few days before treatment to keep your skin safe.
Electrolysis can safely remove unwanted hair from many parts of the body, including:
- Upper lip and chin
- Eyebrows
- Sideburns and cheeks
- Neck
- Underarms
- Arms and hands
- Bikini line
- Legs
- Back and shoulders
Because electrolysis targets individual follicles, it works well for both small, precise applications and larger treatment areas.
Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. The treatment works by targeting and destroying each individual hair follicle so it can no longer grow hair. Once we treat a follicle, the results are permanent. Most clients need multiple sessions to target all follicles in a growth cycle, but the outcome is long-lasting smooth skin.
After waxing or electrolysis, your skin may be slightly pink or sensitive. To keep it calm and protected:
- Avoid heat, hot tubs, and saunas for 24 to 48 hours.
- Skip exfoliants, retinol, and harsh skincare products until your skin heals.
- Wear loose clothing to prevent irritation.
- Apply a gentle, soothing moisturizer or aloe to hydrate the area.
- Always use sunscreen on exposed skin to prevent sensitivity or discoloration.
These simple steps help your skin recover quickly and maintain smooth results.
