An in-depth guide to the hair removal treatment

What is a Brazilian wax?

A Brazilian wax is a hair removal procedure that removes all but a tiny strip or triangle of pubic hair. The pubic area is very sensitive, so a Brazilian wax can be painful, but it also provides a smooth, hair-free bikini area that typically lasts between 3 to 6 weeks.

Who should get a Brazilian wax?

Brazilian waxes are a popular choice for women who want to remove all or most of their pubic hair. They are also a good option for women who experience ingrown hairs or razor burn in the bikini area.

What are the risks of a Brazilian wax?

Brazilian waxes are generally safe, but there are some potential risks, including:

• Pain
• Redness and irritation
• Ingrown hairs
• Infection

How to prepare for a Brazilian wax

To prepare for a Brazilian wax, it is important to:

• Exfoliate the area to be waxed 24 hours before your appointment
• Trim your pubic hair to about 1/4 inch in length
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol before your appointment
• Bring a clean towel and underwear to your appointment

What to expect during a Brazilian wax

A Brazilian wax typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour. During the procedure, the esthetician will apply a thin layer of wax to the pubic area. They will then use a strip of cloth or paper to remove the wax and hair. The esthetician may also use tweezers to remove any remaining hairs.

Aftercare for a Brazilian wax

After a Brazilian wax, it is important to:

• Avoid touching the area
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing
• Use a cold compress to reduce swelling
• Apply a soothing lotion or cream
