THE PERFECT intimate wax

The exponential growth in popularity of intimate waxing has opened a world of new treatment possibilities. No longer is an intimate wax a rushed experience, to get the bare basics done. This emerging trend is set to make the intimate waxing experience more personal, with a focus on individual needs.

Waxing has become a part of everyday life for women, and it is rapidly growing for men. As such, intimate waxing, namely the Brazilian and Manzilian, continue growing in popularity as people have realised the benefits.

It is important for therapists to make clients feel comfortable throughout the process, especially if it’s their first time. Before a treatment, the therapist should brief the client with what to expect pre, during and post treatments, as well as the benefits.

Typically, intimate waxing is regarded for their aesthetic benefits. However, there are many skin and health benefits associated with this treatment. Waxing promotes collagen production, strengthening skin and boosting skin elasticity and hydration. In addition, when you wax, hair is removed from the root, damaging the base of the hair follicle promoting hairs to grow back thinner and softer. Waxing has an exfoliating benefit, as it removes dead skin cells, allowing healthy skin tissue to grow. As such, waxing unclogs pores, resulting in fewer breakouts. Hygiene plays an important part in daily life - when you have pubic hair, moisture may be trapped, which can lead to an infection or unpleasant odour. By removing the hair, unpleasant odours can be significantly reduced, as there are no hairs for the moisture to linger, ultimately leaving the skin feeling cleaner and fresher.

LYCON offers the best of both worlds for clients and therapists when it comes to intimate waxing and care. To achieve the perfect intimate waxing experience, it is recommended to use the PINKINI Brazilian Care and MANifico collections, specifically developed for the easiest and most gentle Brazilians and Manzilians. Thoughtfully named and specially designed, these collections make the process a breeze, whilst giving total confidence in achieving the best end results. The Hybrid Hot Waxes feature shrink-wrapping technology, removing hair as short as 1mm, whilst being extra pliable and easy to use. It is low temperature, making it comfortable to apply multiple times. Teamed with the nurturing Pre and Post waxing lotions, these collections provide virtually painless professional waxing, especially wonderful for intimate zones.

As intimate waxing continues to grow, it is further becoming a way of life, rather than just a want. An important aspect is to make clients feel comfortable and confident with any treatment they request, which creates customer loyalty. In addition, waxing treatments require more specific home care targeted products to help maintain the delicate skin in between salon visits. LYCON has an extensive range of products that caters to these needs, offering many effective, technically advanced products for fast, easily achieved skin improvements for therapists in-salon and clients at-home alike.
