Faces

As you may develop a few white pustules in this area following your first and second treatments your Alexandria Professional Practitioner will treat and help prevent this by soaking a cotton pad in a mixture of Saltspring® and water and applying it to the treated area for five minutes following treatment.

Your Alexandria Practitioner will apply a Mud Puddle® Hungarian Wellness Mud™ mask immediately following treatment to quickly reduce redness in this area. You can also apply it at your convenience at home. Your Alexandria Practitioner will educate you on the many benefits of our Mud Puddle® Hungarian Wellness Mud™.

Preparing for your appointment

Please do not use depilatory, creams or shave before in between treatments as it interferes with your results. It’s important to hydrate regularly to strengthen your skin. Your Practitioner will consult with you to establish a routine suitable to your hair growth pattern so that each treatment works more effectively towards the diminishment of your hair.

What are the advantages of Body Sugaring?

Pure and Natural Ingredients

Sugaring paste is made from NATURAL INGREDIENTS and not tested on animals and is. It is so natural you can EAT it!

It Is Not As Hot

The Advanced Sugaring Paste is applied at body temperature and is safe for all areas of the body. It is even safe for spider veins and varicose veins.

It Is Easier To Clean Up

Sugar can be easily cleaned up with water – from both client and clothing. Guests will never feel sticky after treatments.

It Will Not Stick To The Skin

Sugar cannot stick to live skin cells. Live cells are wet, and because sugar is water-soluble, it will not adhere to live skin cells.

It Is Environmentally Friendly

The Advanced Sugar Paste can be used over and over on different parts of the body and is discarded after each treatment. It is never used on any other person and the sugar breaks down in the landfill with exposure to water. Wax requires constant dipping for each strip applied and the spatulas, used wax and strips never break down.

It Never Dries

Sugar will not dry so an entire area can be worked over without ever having to walk back to the sugar warmer to dip a spatula or retrieve a strip. Most waxes must be removed immediately before they dry, making the process longer than necessary.

It Will Not Break As Many Hairs

Using the Alexandria Professional Advanced Sugaring Technique, the paste wraps around the hair shaft making it pliable, while seeping below the mouth of the follicle and lubricating the hair to make the extraction more complete and gentle. The hair is eased out of the follicle only in the natural direction of growth, which helps to extract the hair intact. Because of the direction of extraction, the guest feels little, if any, discomfort.

Can Extract Very Short Hairs

The Advanced Sugaring Technique requires 3 mm or four to seven days of growth after shaving. Wax products require at least three to six weeks of growth before treatment when a client is shaving.

Leads To Permanency

After a number of treatments, the hair follicle begins to deplete. The hair grows more refined each time. Because sugar can extract the shortest hair, it is possible to extract hair in the early anagen phase, which can lead to permanency. You will see superior results after just a few treatments.

Why sugaring and not waxing?

Wax is made from resins and adheres to live skin cells, hair and any surface it touches. Removal causes unnecessary pain.

Sugar paste does not adhere to live skin cells, so it cannot lift the skin as wax does. It gently exfoliates dead skin cells when removed, leaving behind silky smooth skin. Sugar paste is water-soluble and easily removed from any surface.

Wax is applied in the natural direction of growth and removed in the opposite direction, causing unnecessary discomfort. Sugaring extracts hair in its natural direction of hair growth. The sugar paste seeps into the hair follicle, helping lubricate the hair root for ease of removal.

Sugaring is performed at body temperature, so it cannot burn like wax can. The paste adheres to the hair, not the skin, and lubricates the root for easier extraction from the follicle. Combined with hair removal in the natural direction of growth, sugaring delivers a much more comfortable experience for everyone.
