Please avoid sun exposure and heat treatments pre and post treatment. This can heighten the risk of contra actions to using a wax. 

Here at Beauty & the ink we use digital wax heaters, this ensures wax is at a consistent temperate and prior to treatment we will always test the wax on ourselves. Commonly due to many factors, grazing/ lifting of the skin can occur after waxing, it is often confused with the skin being burnt due to the slight burning sensation you will feel. This is not a burn and will heal. Our advice is to apply a cold compress to ease any discomfort or pain and use sudocrem once a day to aid the healing. If you would like advice please do get in touch. 

It is important to make us aware of any skincare products or medication you may be taking, as this can cause thinning of the skin making you at greater risk of a contra-action.
