Waxing at Lucky Bansko aparthotel

This type of hair removal was used as early as the time of the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses III (1150 BC). To this day, the procedure is one of the most popular, well-known, and preferred methods for removing unwanted body hair.

It is no surprise that waxing is so widely used, considering the great advantages it has over other hair removal methods.

Among the benefits of waxing are the removal of the hair follicle, the long-lasting effect, as well as the achievement of completely smooth and beautiful skin.

What is waxing?

Waxing is a method of hair removal using a specially created wax-based product to which various beneficial substances are added.

Before the procedure begins, the hair removal specialist assesses the condition and characteristics of the skin. Based on the respective skin type, he selects the appropriate type of waxing suitable for the case.

Typically, waxing with aloe vera is used for sensitive skin, and for skin prone to allergies, products that have anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, such as natural beeswax and other products, are used.

How does the waxing process work at Lucky Bansko SPA Hotel?

The procedure at Lucky Bansko SPA begins with the selection of the appropriate waxing composition. This is followed by a thorough disinfection of the treated area and the tools for applying the product.

The specialist then uses a heater to heat the wax until it becomes a warm, smooth, creamy paste. Then, using a spatula, he applies a thin layer of warm, but not hot, wax to the skin in the direction of hair growth.

Almost immediately after, strips are placed on top of the applied hair removal product, which the beautician gently presses against the skin and then removes with a sharp movement. Thus, along with the removal of the strip, the hair from the treated area is also removed.

It is important to know that the removal is always done in the opposite direction of hair growth. The procedure ends with the application of a soothing lotion to the treated area.

Benefits of waxing

The main advantages of this hair removal method are:

• Longer lasting and noticeable effect: The biggest advantage of waxing is that the skin remains smooth for two to three weeks after the procedure. Just for comparison, with shaving, hair begins to appear within a day or two after shaving. The delayed growth when using waxing is due to the fact that with this method the hair is removed from the root, while with shaving they are cut low, but their follicle remains in the skin.
• Hair grows back much thinner and finer: With this method of hair removal, the hair is removed along with the follicle. So when they start to grow back, the hairs not only grow back slower and thinner, but also much finer.
• There is a lower risk of ingrown hairs: When using a razor to remove unwanted hair, ingrown hairs often occur. In addition to looking unsightly, they are also quite painful. With waxing, the risk of ingrown hairs in the skin after the procedure is significantly reduced.

Last but not least, waxing is quick and easy and does not tire the client. This hair removal method can be used on any part of the body where there is unwanted hair.
