Smooth, Hair-Free Underarms
The underarm wax removes hair from the underarm area using warm wax, lifting hair from the root for results that last significantly longer than shaving. At Symmetry Cosmetic Clinic, this treatment is performed by experienced beauty therapists with attention to comfort, given how sensitive this area can be.
An underarm wax uses warm wax to remove hair from the underarm at the root, leaving the skin smooth. Underarm skin is thinner and more delicate than many other areas, and can be more reactive in the days following treatment. Because hair is removed from the root, results typically last three to four weeks, depending on individual hair growth and waxing history.
If this is your first time, your beauty therapist will explain the process and answer any questions before starting. The first treatment is usually the most uncomfortable, as hair hasn’t previously been removed from the root and underarm skin can take a little time to adjust to waxing. With regular waxing, hair becomes finer and treatments become more comfortable over time.
Hair should be approximately half a centimetre to one centimetre long at the time of treatment. Avoid shaving in the weeks before your appointment.
Underarm skin is thin and frequently exposed to friction, deodorant and antiperspirant, all of which can heighten sensitivity around waxing. Proper technique and aftercare help manage this.
Maintaining this treatment every three to four weeks helps reduce discomfort and improve results over time, as hair becomes finer and sparser with regular waxing.Maintaining this treatment every three to four weeks helps reduce discomfort and improve results over time, as hair becomes finer and sparser with regular waxing.
Your appointment begins with a brief consultation to check for any sensitivities or contraindications. The underarm area is cleansed and prepped, then warm wax is applied and removed in small sections. Remaining fine hairs are addressed with tweezing, and a soothing post-wax product is applied.
The treatment typically takes ten to fifteen minutes. Some redness or sensitivity is normal immediately after and usually settles within a few hours.
