What men should expect during a Bikini Wax?

Men can get bikini waxes, too! Here's what you should know before getting your first one:

What is a Male Brazilian?

Men want to feel as smooth, clean and aesthetically attractive as women when it comes to removing hair “down there”. Men can expect the same benefits post waxing as women. 

A men’s Brazilian service includes the complete removal of pubic hair, everywhere. Everywhere includes the scrotum, perineum, pelvic area and gluteal cleft. Results typically last for about four to six weeks. There are also a few different variations of Brazilians that go from semi bare to fully bare. 

How Is It Done?

Firstly, your esthetician will apply warm wax to the intended area with a waxing stick or spatula. Depending on the wax used, it'll either harden as it cools or maintain its warm temperature upon application. Once ready to be removed, either a strip of muslin (the non-woven removal “paper” used to remove soft wax) will be applied, or the stripless wax will be removed by hand directly from the area itself. If there are stubborn spots that need more than one application, your esthetician will reapply and repeat the process.

Afterwards, if there are any stray hairs left over, she may use tweezers to remove them.

Some Do’s

• Arrive freshly showered. If not, the salon/studio should provide wipes.
  
• Expect a little sensitivity. Your nerve endings and the roots of your hair are in close proximity to one another. When uprooted, this sensation triggers a pain response. However, since  you're having a professional do it, they should know exactly which techniques to use that eases discomfort during your service.
  
• Do use aloe vera gel post-treatment. Post-treatment, apply aloe vera gel to reduce inflammation resulting from waxing treatments. This will also help your skin heal faster than if left alone without any moisturizing products being applied after treatments.
  
• Wear loose clothing to prevent irritation post-wax.
  

Some Dont’s

• Don't shave your pubic area for at least two weeks before your appointment, in order to ensure that your hair is long enough.
  
• Don’t engage in any sweat induced activities, including sex, going to the gym, saunas, hot tubs, tanning, sunbathing, jacuzzis, etc. You will also want to avoid swimming. The reason for this is because your pores are open and is susceptible to bacteria and breakouts. 
  
• Don’t exfoliate the area for 72 hours.
