About Waxing
Waxing is one of the most common and popular hair removal methods in the cosmetic industry. Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. G. Robert Meger, and his team recognize the importance of having smooth, hair-free skin. Waxing is a longer-lasting alternative to shaving, as it pulls out the hair follicles at the root and can get in hard-to-reach places. Our office, G. Robert Meger, M.D. P.C., offers eyebrow, chin, and upper lip waxing to our Phoenix, AZ patients looking to achieve a hairless, more groomed appearance.
Best Candidates
Best candidates for waxing:
- Have hair 1/4″ or longer
- Desire a longer-lasting alternative to shaving
- Are not ready to commit to laser hair removal treatments
- Have dark, thick hair that is hard to remove at home
What to Expect
A waxing treatment will involve our licensed aesthetician applying hot wax to cloth strips. The strips will then be administered to the areas that are being treated. The aesthetician will quickly tug on the cloth to remove the hair at the follicle. If the eyebrows are being waxed, the patient can consult beforehand on the desired shape and outcome. Some pain and redness may result, but it will subside shortly.
Anticipated Results
Patients can expect their treated area to have little to no hair after being waxed. Depending on the patient and hair texture, results will vary. Typically, patients can expect to have smooth skin for 3 – 4 weeks. After the hair growth is sufficient enough, patients can schedule another waxing appointment.
