Body, Facial, and Eyebrow Waxing Services in St. Louis

There are many options now available for the removal of unwanted hair, including shaving, plucking, electrolysis, and laser technology. While all of the various hair removal types have pros and cons, and are more or less recommended depending on the situation… sometimes the old standard of waxing seems to be the right choice. Unlike some options, waxing is a prolonged but temporary solution. It lasts longer than shaving, or plucking, but without the cost and complexity of the more permanent laser hair removal.

At Midwest Vein Care, we provide many cosmetic skin care services including body, facial, and eyebrow waxing. Our medical aestheticians are well trained in the art of waxing and can comfortably help the patient become “hair free”. There are situations where waxing is the treatment of choice, for example, eyebrow arching, or if the hair to be removed is white, grey, or very fine in texture.

We also offer additional services such as eyebrow tattooing and eyebrow and eyelash tinting as methods to keep your eyebrows and eyelashes beautiful without everyday make-up. Additionally, we sell Latisse, a product used to grow your own eyelashes longer and fuller.

The Process of Waxing: How Facial, Eyebrow and Body Waxing Works

If you have never been waxed before, you may feel apprehensive about the process. However, if done correctly, waxing causes very little discomfort and is very tolerable. Over time, with regular waxing, the hair grows back thinner and lighter too.

For those thinking about undergoing body, facial, or eyebrow waxing, it is good to be familiar with the process first. During the waxing process:

• The area to be treated is cleansed
• Heated wax is then applied to these areas
• The fabric strips are then pressed firmly on the waxed surface
• The fabric is then pulled off quickly in a direction opposite to the hair growth
• This is repeated on the other eyebrow or in any other areas
• Any stray strands of hair are tweezed
• A cooling cream or gel is applied to ease any redness or irritation

The Advantages of Waxing

There are many hair removal options available for women and men, including creams, tweezing, shaving, electrolysis and laser treatment. While these are all viable options, waxing has undeniable advantages over the others.

• Price: Waxing is much more affordable than laser hair removal treatment. Even though it is not permanent, it does provide lasting results, making it an effective and affordable option for controlling unwanted hair growth.
• Time Savings: A typical eyebrow waxing session takes about 15 to 20 minutes and gives you great results that last for weeks and even up to a month. In comparison, tweezing and electrolysis can take longer as each hair has to be individually removed.
• Results: Waxing leaves you with skin that is soft and supple. Since the hair is pulled out from the follicle instead of being cut, the skin is much smoother. Also, there are circumstances where laser may not be indicated, for example light color or velous hair, very dark skin… or hair around the eyebrow.
