1. Consultation and comfort check.
A licensed esthetician confirms the desired hair-removal area, reviews relevant skin sensitivities and recent treatments, and explains the service before beginning.
2. Position for comfort and access.
The client is positioned comfortably and draped appropriately. The esthetician works only on a small area at a time.
3. Pre-wax application
Arrive with clean, dry skin and enough hair growth for waxing. Your esthetician prepares the treatment area with professional Lycon pre-wax products selected for the service. Tell your esthetician about skin sensitivity, medications, recent cosmetic treatments, or anything that may affect your service. Do not wax irritated, broken, or sunburned skin.
4. Cleanse and dry the skin.
The treatment area is gently cleansed and dried so product residue, moisture and oils do not interfere with the wax.
5. Apply wax in small sections.
The esthetician checks wax temperature and applies the selected wax in small, manageable sections in the direction of hair growth.
6. Prepare the hard wax for removal.
Hard wax is allowed to cool and set around the hair. Once it is firm but still flexible, the esthetician lifts an edge to prepare the section for removal without using a strip.
7. Remove hair while supporting the skin.
The skin is held taut and wax is removed promptly against hair growth. Gentle pressure may be applied immediately afterward for comfort.
8. Repeat with careful sectioning.
The process is repeated section by section, adjusting to the natural direction of growth and the sensitivity of each area.
9. Inspect and finish the service.
Any remaining stray hairs are addressed as appropriate, then the area is checked and the service is finished with professional aftercare guidance.
10. Post-wax application and aftercare
Any remaining wax is removed and an appropriate Lycon post-wax product may be applied to soothe the skin. For the next 24 to 48 hours, avoid hot baths, saunas, intense exercise, and tight clothing; do not pick or touch the area unnecessarily. Mild redness can be normal.
