A: Wax adheres to the hair shaft (and not the skin), which is then removed from the root by the mechanical action of removing the wax or fabric strip from the skin. Hair follicles take up to 3 weeks to regrow. Hair regrowth is soft to the touch and you may not need to depilate again for up to 4 weeks.
A: Always follow the Directions for Use and Precautions. See Helpful Hints and Beautician Tips on the leaflet. Skin should be clean and dry.
A: Waxing is not suitable for the elderly or diabetics, and though suitable for pregnant women, may cause bruising. Certain areas of the body should only be waxed if you have previous waxing experience. See the Precautions and Direction for Use Leaflet for further information. It is advisable for children under 16 to be supervised by an adult when using any depilatory method.
