Treherne Dermatology Offers Waxing Services.

Waxing is a temporary method of hair removal that removes the hair from the root. Normally new hairs will not grow back in the previously waxed area for three to eight weeks. Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including eyebrow, face, bikini area, legs, arms back, abdomen. New hair growth in waxed areas is soft and fine, not sharp and coarse like shaved hair. After repeated waxing for areas like the eyebrows and lower legs, hair regrowth is less common and eventually the hair may never regrow. Waxing is accomplished by spreading a wax thinly over the skin. A cloth or paper strip is then pressed on the top and ripped off with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth. This removes the wax along with the hair and dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth.
