The skin in the intimate area is naturally more sensitive, so it's completely normal to experience some reaction after waxing. The question is not whether the skin will react, but how and for how long.
What reaction is considered normal?
After treatment, you may experience:
-
mild redness
-
feeling of warmth
-
feeling of tension
These:
-
hair follicle reactions
-
no signs of inflammation
-
they usually subside within a few hours
This is the skin's natural response.
Who has more sensitive skin?
Increased sensitivity may occur:
-
for sensitive skin types
-
during hormonal changes
-
before or during menstruation
-
during the first intimate wax
This is not a problem, but a gift.
When is irritation not considered normal?
It is worth paying attention if:
-
the redness does not subside for days
-
painful lumps develop
-
severe itching or inflammation occurs
In this case:
-
do not scratch or press
-
it is worth consulting a specialist
-
targeted aftercare may be needed
What determines how the skin reacts?
The degree of irritation is influenced by:
-
the type of wax used
-
the technique
-
skin hydration

the quality of aftercare
An experienced professional:
-
not working too much in the same area

monitors skin reactions

modify the process if necessary
How to reduce sensitivity after waxing?
