Overview

Pregnancy brings exciting changes to your body, but it also comes with some unique challenges. Fluctuating hormones might lead to unwanted hair growth in areas where you may not have noticed it before. If you find yourself dealing with this, Wax&Co is here to help.

Is Waxing During Pregnancy Safe?

At Wax&Co, we prioritize your safety and comfort. Our highly trained and experienced hair removal technicians ensure that each salon visit is safe and hygienic. We maintain rigorous standards of cleanliness and never reuse wax or strips between clients to prevent any risk of bacterial infection.

If you have open cuts, varicose veins, rashes, scar tissue, moles, pimples, warts, or areas where acne medications are applied, we recommend avoiding waxing in those areas.

Hair Growth During Pregnancy

Pregnancy hormones can affect your hair and nails, leading to increased hair growth in areas such as your armpits, legs, and bikini line. You might also notice new hair growth in less familiar areas, like your chin, upper lip, lower back, and around your nipples. This change is temporary, and your hair growth pattern should return to normal within six months after giving birth.

Waxing Options

For the best results, ensure that your hair is about ½ inch long before your waxing appointment. We use both soft and hard waxes: 

  • Soft Wax: Applied in a thin layer with a cloth strip placed on top. The strip is then quickly pulled off in the opposite direction of hair growth.
  • Hard Wax: Applied in a thicker layer and left to harden before being removed without the use of a cloth strip. Hard wax is ideal for sensitive areas like the bikini line or underarms.

Sensitivity During Pregnancy

Due to increased blood flow and fluid retention, your skin may be more sensitive during pregnancy. We recommend starting with a patch test to assess your sensitivity and determine if waxing will be comfortable for you. 

Post-Wax Care

After your waxing session:

  • Avoid harsh sunlight and tanning for 24 hours.
  • Skip strenuous exercise and products with chemicals, perfumes, or dyes during this time.
  • Apply a pregnancy-safe moisturizer the next day to keep your skin hydrated and comfortable.
