Most people find the hair will start to re-grow within 7-10 days following treatment. The hair needs to be a certain length in order to successfully remove it by waxing. Allow 4 weeks before your next treatment. Immediately after treatment the are may be red or slightly inflamed, we apply a cooling lotion after the treatment.
