Preparation Before Your Wax
Prior to your wax, you will need a minimum 4 weeks of growth since your last shave or wax. We will not take clients before this to ensure you get the most flawless results. Gently exfoliate the area 48 hours prior, and be sure to moisturize as well. Both of these steps are crucial in avoiding unfavourable issues such as ingrown hairs. This is particularly important for brazilian waxing ( which is a service we specialize in ! )
Post Wax Care
So you're all waxed and ready to go, its a non negotiable that you keep your skin clean for the rest of the day. In doing so, you avoid exposing your skin to bacteria which can lead to infection. We recommend wearing breathable, loose fitting clothing as not to irritate the area. You may also bring along a pair of fresh cotton panties to throw on after. Post wax you must avoid water ( hot tubs, pools, lakes ) No sexual activity, excessive sweating or direct sunlight. Below are contraindications for waxing be sure to check those out prior to booking your appointment.

Celluma
About Celluma & Benefits
Celluma light therapy mimics a natural photo biochemical reaction process to deliver safe, UV-free low-level light energy through FDA ( and Health Canada ) cleared, high-intensity LED devices. In its most basic definition, infrared LED light therapy is the application of specific wavelengths of light energy to the body to upregulate cellular performance and achieve therapeutic benefits, including treatment for acne, anti-aging, pain management, wound healing and even hair restoration. It is also a cost effective and non-invasive treatment option.
How Does Red LED Light Therapy Work?
Like plants absorb sunlight to power photosynthesis and boost tissue growth, human cells can absorb light energy to stimulate cellular function and enhance overall cellular performance. An example of this are fibroblasts upregulating to increase the production of collagen and elastin. Red light therapy also boosts circulation to deliver oxygen and nutrients to living tissues.
