Brazilian Wax 411


Do you ever feel that you do not take enough care of your delicate area? Do you suffer from ingrown hair or hyperpigmentation and feel insecure about your delicate flower. Are you simply just tired of shaving, and the itchy prickly feel a few days after? PowerHouse Esthetics is here with two exclusive treatments, Brazilian wax and Southern Flower to fulfill all of your needs.



What is a Brazilian wax?


Brazilian wax is the hair removal of the vaginal, anal, and the inner thigh area. It is normally preformed by hot wax, which is either a soft or hard wax option. It is applied directly to your skin and instantly removed taking the hair from the root and exfoliating the area. In order to receive a Brazilian Wax the hair needs to be at least 1/4" long, which is about the length of a grain of rice. Generally it takes 3 weeks to reach the ideal length of hair for removal. If shaving was your method of hair removal before your decision to wax, it is a possibility that a few strands of hair may still be left behind after your Brazilian Wax appointment.


Why should you get a Brazilian Wax?

A Brazilian Wax treatment gives you a clean and fresh feel. If you find yourself shaving every few days due to how fast your hair grows back a Brazilian Wax Hair Removal Treatment is perfect for you. It is great for individuals that are prone to ingrown hair also. Because it also exfoliates the most sensitive area on your body, ridding the area of dead skin cells. There are several benefits with the exfoliating part of the Brazilian Wax alone. The exfoliation clears any congestion in the area, which will lessen ingrown hair and other breakouts.


How to prepare for Brazilian wax?


Start your preparation 48 hours before your appointment by gently exfoliating your delicate area with a mild scrub, chemical exfoliant, or a loofah to remove the dead skin cells and loosen your ingrown hairs. Stop using any topical steroids, exfoliating ointments, or creams as they may irritate your skin more and also avoid tanning beds, saunas, exercising, exfoliating, sunbathing, and sex for 24-48 hours. On the day of your appointment, wear loose-fitting clothes and underwear to avoid creating friction and let your skin breathe more. A Brazilian wax can be a little painful but totally worth the hype, so if you want to experience less pain, you can use a numbing cream 30 minutes before your appointment or take some pain medication such as aspirin. It is also recommended to avoid Brazilian waxing if you are close to your menstruation because the hormone levels make you more sensitive.






Which are the benefits of Brazilian waxing?


Brazilian wax has many benefits compared to other hair removal techniques and it is preferred by many women around the world because:


It is less irritating


By doing a Brazilian wax instead of shaving with the classic razor, you get fewer bumps, almost no irritation after several hours, and less ingrown hair.


It can last longer


This hair removal technique removes the hair from the root so you will go hairless and smooth for at least 20 days. By shaving some people may see little hair coming back even the next day, so waxing is the best option to stay hair-free for a long time.


It makes your hair finer


We all know that pubic hair is dark, thick, and long which are the main reasons why a Brazilian is painful along with the fact that your delicate area has a lot of nerve endings. By waxing regularly, the hair comes back weakened and softer, and eventually, it will be thinner and easier to remove.
