What is waxing usually chosen for?

Mainly to get hair-free skin for several weeks, with an immediate result right from the session itself.

What should I keep in mind before the appointment?

That hair has a minimum length so the wax can grip it well, avoiding shaving right beforehand, and letting the team know if you have very sensitive skin or are using skin-thinning treatments.

What general aftercare is recommended?

Avoiding direct sun exposure, very hot water, and irritating products -exfoliants, perfume- on the treated area in the following hours.

How is it different from laser hair removal?

Waxing removes hair from the root and gives a visible result from the session itself; laser hair removal aims to reduce hair progressively over several sessions. The Anaël team can guide you based on what you're looking for.

Which areas are usually treated?

Legs, underarms, bikini area, face, and other common areas; check with the salon to confirm availability.

Waxing in Premià de Mar

At Anaël, waxing is a traditional hair-removal service carried out by hand by the salon's team, with no technological device involved.

Technology: Manual technique, no technological device involved. Equipment: Standard professional products and materials; brand to be confirmed.

What it is

It involves applying wax to the skin and removing it along with the hair, pulling it out from the root.

Common goals

It's mainly sought for hair-free skin lasting several weeks, a longer-lasting result than shaving.

Who it may suit

Anyone looking for traditional hair removal on the body or face, provided their skin is in suitable condition for the treatment.

Treatment areas

Legs, underarms, bikini area, face, and other common areas, depending on your needs.

What a typical appointment looks like

Wax is applied to the chosen area and removed with a quick motion along with the hair; the process is repeated as many times as needed to cover the whole area.

What you might feel

It's common to feel a brief pulling sensation at the moment the wax is removed; how it feels varies by area and by each person's sensitivity, and it isn't a painless treatment, though the discomfort is usually short-lived.

Preparation

Hair should have a minimum length -roughly that of a grain of rice- so the wax can grip it well; avoid shaving or removing hair with another method right before the appointment.

Aftercare

In the following hours it's best to avoid direct sun exposure, very hot water, and products that could irritate the skin, such as exfoliants or perfume, on the treated area.

Mild, temporary redness is common, sometimes with small red dots around the follicle, which usually fades within a few hours.

A treatment adapted to you

The team adapts the technique and the type of wax to your skin type and sensitivity level in each area.

If you have very sensitive skin, active irritation in the area, or you're using treatments that thin the skin (such as retinoids), mention it before your appointment.

Alternatives at Anaël

If you're looking for longer-lasting hair reduction through a multi-session process, you might consider laser hair removal, also available at Anaël; waxing, by contrast, gives an immediate result every session.
