Papillon Advanced Skincare

Here at Papillon we use two varieties of wax.

For specialist waxing such as Brazilian and Hollywood bikini waxing we use a french hot wax.  This wax does not set hard like the old style caramel coloured hot wax, instead it is still pliable when set so it is more comfortable to remove.  This was is also particularly effective for lip and chin waxing especially if the  hairs are particularly stubborn.

For all other waxing we use Australian Bodycare Teatree warm wax.  We use the disposable wax head system rather than pot wax and spatulas because it is more hygenic, every client has a new wax head used for their treatment which is then thrown away.  After treatment we apply Australian Bodycare Tea Tree body lotion, this is cooling and soothing and antibacterial and helps to close the hair follicles and discourage ingrown hairs.

Aftercare Advice

• No sunbeds for 24 hours after waxing
• No sunbathing for 24 hours after waxing
• Avoid swimming, saunas, hot baths for 12 to 24 hours after treatment
• Avoid using perfumed body lotions and deodourant for 12 hours after treatment
• Regular exfoliation and moisturising of waxed areas will discourage the growth of ingrown hairs
