Sugaring paste does not require heating, so it can be used on areas with first to second-degree varicose veins. It is less adhesive than warm wax in cartridges, making it less traumatic when used correctly. Sugar slightly liquefies from body heat and captures the hair right at the follicle's mouth, allowing the hair to be removed with its root intact without breaking it. It also works well with fine, vellus hair. Wax, on the other hand, requires heating to a working consistency of 42-47 degrees Celsius. It is applied with applicators against or in the direction of hair growth. Modern waxes allow working in different directions. Waxing cannot be performed if you have varicose veins because it involves local heating of blood vessels, which can exacerbate the situation. Wax works well on both long and short, coarse hair. Film wax has the least adhesion, making it the safest option for sensitive areas such as the bikini and underarms, especially during the summer.

Recent exposure to ultraviolet radiation, such as from tanning beds, sunbathing, or prolonged sun exposure, should prompt a delay in hair removal for a couple of days. If sunburns are present on the body or face, it's necessary to wait for full skin recovery. Skin damage, including irritations, scrapes, scratches, or open wounds, in the area requiring hair removal, should only undergo depilation after healing. Recent chemical peels necessitate a waiting period of at least a week for superficial treatments and a minimum of one month for deep peels before facial hair removal. Recent laser resurfacing procedures, being highly traumatic, require special consideration. Depilation in the treated area should be avoided for at least one year. Use of medications containing Retin-A renders the skin more susceptible to external factors, increasing the risk of skin damage during depilation.

Possibly, initial depilation may be more sensitive as the hair is firmly rooted in the follicle. Sensitivity varies individually and depends on pain tolerance. I strive to work as painlessly as possible and at your comfort level.

Yes, you can use lidocaine-based creams on the depilation area, covering it with film. Cream exposure time is 60 minutes.
