This all depends on how fast your hair grows and how long you go between appointments.

Generally speaking, waxing should last up to six weeks (although you might notice hair starting to return after three to four weeks).

While waxing is significantly less painful than more invasive treatments like laser hair removal, there is still a low level of discomfort.

In most cases, waxing will feel like having a tough bandage ripped off a hairy part of your body. You might notice more pain if you’re getting waxed in more sensitive areas (such as your pubic region or under your arms).

However, the pain and discomfort are quick and temporary (although you might notice some redness, tenderness or irritation immediately after your waxing treatment).

To get the most out of your wax, it’s important to prepare your skin and yourself ahead of time. Here are a few practical steps you can take to prepare ahead of your waxing session:

• Let your hair grow out for at least four weeks to ensure your therapist can properly remove the hair from the follicle.
• Gently exfoliate your skin a day or two before your appointment to flush away any dead skin cells.
• Stay hydrated, avoid too much caffeine and alcohol in the days prior to your appointment and moisture your skin with non-clogging products that are lightweight and non-greasy.
• Stay out of the sun and avoid getting sunburn in the days prior to your appointment.
• Avoid using products with retinol on your skin the week prior to your appointment (as this can increase the sensitivity of your skin).
• Wear lightweight, flowy clothing to your appointment that is easy to take on and off.

After your treatment, it’s best to avoid applying any oils or lotions to the waxed area (unless directed by your therapist). Keep your skin clean and avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing for at least 48 hours (like yoga pants or tights) that may cause irritation and friction on the skin.
