The Benefits of Brazilian Bikini Waxes

With summer and swimsuit season finally in full swing, it's no wonder that brazilian bikini waxes are all the rage- from their rapid increase in popularity in spas across North America, to the continual references made by the media to this service, ( including several segements on the Oprah Winfrey show!) brazilian bikini waxes have never been more popular. This waxing service is more than just a passing trend, and is here to stay- for good reason. Waxing is the most hygenic and thorough method of hair removal in this sensitive area. Unlike shaving or the use of depilatories, waxing leaves a smooth, bump-free surface by not allowing any shadow of the hair follicle. The hair grows back dramatically softer and with less irritation or itching. As well, it grows back at a much slower rate, which is usually about three to five weeks. Although women tend to choose waxing for their own benefit (and convenience during bikini season!), their partners are usually quick to voice their approval! There is some discomfort involved in brazilian waxes, however an experienced esthetician who uses high quality professional wax and the proper techniques will greatly minimize pain. The application of a soothing tea tree oil lotion after the service is also very helpful. Regular brazilian bikini waxes are much less painful and result in the regrowth of finer hairs. For most people, the benefits of this service far outweigh the discomfort! Visit www.lepetitspa.ca for more information on brazilian bikini waxes
