What Happens in a Brazilian Waxing Session?
The beautician will ask you to remove underwear, then you lie down. The beautician will then tell you to raise your legs and may sprinkle the area with talc to ensure that the skin is dry. She or he will then use a spatula to spread a thin layer of hot wax on one area at a time removing the wax by pressing down with a cotton strip, holding the skin taut and pulling in one short sharp pull against the direction of hair growth. Of course, in this area you are pretty exposed and have to be OK with being handled in some pretty strange ways. The pubic area is often very sensitive and therefore painful to wax although different people experience different levels of pain with it. The pain can continue for a while afterwards too. Sometimes a cold compress can help afterwards and be sure not to wear tight fitting underwear or clothes to your appointment. You can reduce pain a little by taking an over the counter pain relief medication a hour or so before your treatment.
