Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full Arms Waxing.

Results typically last three to six weeks depending on individual hair growth cycles and regimen. Regular waxing can extend intervals, producing finer regrowth. Factors like hormones, medications, and exfoliation habits influence duration, so maintenance scheduling keeps arms smooth longer.

Some discomfort is normal, especially first sessions, but low-temperature wax reduces sting and irritation. Technicians use quick, professional techniques and soothing products to minimize pain. Breathing, relaxation, and regular waxing will usually make future sessions easier and less sensitive.

Arrive with hair about a quarter-inch long; avoid shaving for three to four weeks. Exfoliate gently 24–48 hours before, skip topical retinoids or strong acids for several days, and avoid sun exposure to reduce irritation and risk.

Most skin types can be waxed, but avoid waxing over sunburn, open wounds, active rashes, or severe eczema. Inform your technician about medications, recent chemical peels, or isotretinoin use, as these can increase sensitivity and risk of damage.

Avoid hot baths, saunas, heavy exercise, and sun exposure for 24–48 hours. Apply a soothing, fragrance‑free moisturizer or aloe gel and gently exfoliate after 48–72 hours to prevent ingrown hairs. Contact us for any prolonged redness or discomfort.

Topical retinoids and oral isotretinoin thin the skin and increase risk; we typically advise pausing topical retinoids several days beforehand and avoiding waxing on recent isotretinoin users for six to twelve months. Discuss medications during booking for safety and alternatives.
