Do I have to prepare for Lycon hair removal?

Preparing for Lycon waxing is crucial to ensure the treatment’s effectiveness, reduce the risk of irritation, and enhance the client’s comfort. Although the preparation is not significantly different from other waxing methods, such as soft wax or sugar paste, there are a few important factors to consider.

How to properly prepare for Lycon waxing?

Appropriate hair length
The hair should be between 0.3 and 0.8 cm in length before the treatment.

Minimum length (0.3 cm) – Lycon wax can effectively remove even short hairs. However, if the hair is too short, the wax may not grip it properly.
Maximum length (1 cm) – Longer hair can make the treatment more uncomfortable and difficult to perform. In such cases, trimming the hair slightly before the session is recommended.

Avoid creams and oils on the skin
On the day of the treatment, do not apply creams, lotions, or oils to the area to be waxed. Oily skin can reduce the wax’s grip on the hairs, making it harder to remove them and potentially extending the treatment time. For the best results, the skin should be clean and dry.

Exfoliation a few days before the treatment
A gentle exfoliation is recommended 2-3 days before waxing. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, making it easier to remove hairs and reducing the risk of ingrown hairs after the procedure. However, avoid exfoliating immediately before the waxing session, as the skin may become too sensitive.

Avoiding irritation before the treatment
On the day of the waxing session, avoid activities that could irritate the skin, such as intense tanning, swimming in chlorinated pools, or using strong cosmetics. The skin should be in the best possible condition to ensure a smooth and painless procedure.

What to avoid before Lycon waxing?

Shaving or using other hair removal methods a few days before the session – The hair needs to be the right length for the wax to grip it effectively.
Alcohol-based cosmetics – Products containing alcohol can dry out and irritate the skin, increasing discomfort during the treatment.
Intense workouts – Heavy physical activity that causes excessive sweating may make the skin more sensitive.

How to care for the skin after Lycon waxing?

After the session, the skin may be slightly red, but thanks to the protective formula of Lycon wax, irritation is usually minimal. To help the skin recover quickly, follow these guidelines:

Avoid hot baths, saunas, and tanning beds for 24-48 hours after the treatment.
Use soothing post-wax products such as creams with aloe vera or panthenol.
Keep the skin moisturized – Regular moisturizing helps prevent dryness and promotes skin regeneration.
Perform exfoliation every few days – This prevents ingrown hairs and keeps the skin smooth for longer.

Our opinion

Although Lycon waxing does not require complicated preparation, taking care of the hair length, skin condition, and avoiding oil-based products significantly improves the quality and comfort of the treatment. Properly prepared skin allows for better results, reduces the duration of the waxing session, and minimizes the risk of irritation. By following the recommended pre- and post-treatment care, you can enjoy long-lasting smooth skin.
