As a woman, there are many things that you may want to have but a mustache or facial hair isn’t one of them. And even though reaching for that razor and shaving some hair off of your face may last a day or two, shaving only reaches the surface of the skin. To help our patients temporarily get rid of unwanted facial hair, we at the Ward Institute offer facial waxing. If you have never had your face waxed before, then you may not know what to expect. Let’s take a close look.

What Can Facial Waxing Cover?

Typically, we use facial waxing to help patients get rid of hair on their upper lip, their eyebrows, or near their sideburns. When you first come into our office for your waxing appointment, we will take a closer look at the area of your face that you want to have waxed and tell you whether or not waxing will be effective.

What Does It Feel Like?

The great thing about waxing is that it’s really fast and because we will only be waxing very small parts of your face, it should take a couple of minutes maximum. The waxing itself may be a bit uncomfortable, but because it’s so fast, it won’t last for very long. Additionally, we will typically apply some type of soothing ointment or oil on your face afterward to help calm your skin down.

How Long Does It Last?

The more frequently you get waxed, the longer it tends to last. At first, however, you can expect it to last about two weeks on average, but that can vary from person to person.

If you have never had your facial hair waxed, then you may be a bit nervous to have it done, but we will make sure that you feel calm during the entire thing. Are you ready to make your first waxing appointment? Contact our Cottonwood Heights office today and contact us at 801-513-FACE.
