Waxing Treatment Edmonton & Regina

We’ve added facial and body waxing onto our menu to take better care of you and offer a one stop medical clinic offering you the best treatments that best suit you and your concerns.

Waxing is a temporary hair removal system that removes hair removal from the root area giving you smoother skin with longer periods of hair free results than other hair removal systems.

Waxing is perfect for removing unwanted hair from face and body for both men and women.

Whether you are going away on a sun filled vacation and or unsure if you are ready to have Laser hair removal, waxing is the ideal treatment that offers hair free areas for two weeks and the hair grows back softer and finer with repeated treatments.

Face and body waxing require the hair length to be ¼ inch or a grain of rice length.
Face waxing is recommended every 3-4 weeks and body waxing is recommended every 4-6 weeks.

The reason for this is we want to get the majority of the hairs when they are in the anagen (known as the active growing phase). What this means is the anagen hair is completely in the hair follicle attached to the papilla (root area). When hair is removed in the anagen phase (waxing and especially for Laser hair removal), the chance of that anagen hair growing back is slim to none.

With wax removal in the anagen phase the result shows in a blood dot appearance. That’s exactly what we want to see. Rest assured that hair will probably not return.

With Laser hair removal you may see the hair partially exposed above the skin level. This is from the Laser energy extracting the anagen hair which will then continue to grow out and fall out. That hair will not return. Success!
