Eyebrow Waxing

A traditional method of hair removal is eyebrow waxing. Eyebrow waxing has been around for quite some time and is one of the few temporary hair-removal methods that are still commonly performed by professionals and in salons. In this technique of hair removal, hot wax is applied to the skin and a strip of cloth is pressed into the waxed area. This strip is then quickly pulled away, taking the unwanted eyebrow hairs with it.

Unwanted eyebrow hair can be annoying and in some cases, can really put a damper on a person's personality. Fortunately, there are many options for eyebrow hair removal. If you are really interested in proper body hair removal, then you need to see a professional either to perform the treatment or to advise you on the purchase of the supplies you will need to do it yourself.

How does eyebrow waxing work

A wax combination is spread thinly over the skin and a cloth strip is pressed on the top and then ripped off with a quick movement removing the wax along with the hair and dead skin cells leaving the skin smooth.

What is the difference between hot waxes and cold waxes

Good hot waxes melt just above body temperature so they can be very easily spread thinly over the skin. As the wax hardens it traps the hair in the wax so it is removed by the roots when the wax is ripped off.

Cold waxes are offered in pre-coated strips, which can be pressed directly onto the skin. The hair sticks to the wax and it is then removed with the quick pull back action.

What is the effect on the skin

As the dead skin cells are removed in this process, the skin can feel quite smooth afterwards. The eyebrow waxing action does cause the skin to sting and many find a soothing skin healing cream to be very helpful afterwards. Some people find that the skin reacts with redness and bumps which disappear after a few hours.

Precautions to keep in mind with eyebrow hair waxing

Some physicians do not recommend eyebrow waxing for persons suffering from diabetes or those who have varicose veins or poor circulation, as they are more susceptible to infection.

Users of Retin-A, Differin, Renova or Accutane are advised not to use hair waxing on the face as these medications tend to weaken the skin and tearing of the skin may occur when the wax is removed.

It is better to test a small area first but generally waxing can be used on most parts of the body with the exceptions being male genitals, nipples, inside the ears, nose and eyelashes.

How long before hair reappears

Generally it reappears between 3 and 8 weeks. Lesser hair regrows and it is generally finer.
