How painful is waxing?

The question "is waxing painful" is a legitimate one, but it's not a yes-no answer.
The sensation of waxing varies and is determined by a combination of several factors.

 

What does pain depend on most?

 

The degree of pain is affected by:

 

• the thickness of the skin

• skin sensitivity

• the thickness and density of the hair

• location of the treated area

• Have you ever been waxed before?

• individual pain tolerance threshold

• hormonal cycle

• current stress load

 

 That's why no two experiences are the same.

 

In which areas is it felt more strongly?

 

In general, the feeling may be stronger:

 

• in areas with thinner skin

• in bends

• where the skin is more mobile

 

Less strong:

 

• on large, flat surfaces

• where the skin is thicker and tighter

 

 That's why we use different techniques in different areas.

 

Why is the first time more painful?

 

For the first waxing:

 

• the fur is thicker

• the skin is not used to it

• the guest is often more tense

• the mind is on standby

• adrenaline levels are higher

 

This can intensify the feelings together. Most guests find the next occasions easier.

 

How can pain be reduced?

 

Pain reduction depends on several factors:

 

• choosing the right technique

• controlled, unhurried pace

• proper skin preparation

• taking into account the guest's comfort

• empathetic treatment, trust

• safe environment

 

 Good waxing doesn't happen by force.

 

Is it different for women and men?

 

There may be a difference.

 

• Men often have thicker hair

• Women often have more sensitive skin

 

Therefore, the technique and pace are always adapted to the specific guest, not to genders or templates.

 

Is there a completely painless wax?

 

Honestly: no. Removing hair from the root always involves emotions.

The goal is not "painlessness", but:

 

• minimizing discomfort

• skin protection

• predictability of treatment

 

 This is realistic and achievable.
