Please follow the personalised instructions from your practitioner, as they take priority over this general guidance.
View treatment details →Thank you for choosing MC Aesthetics for your professional waxing treatment. Waxing removes unwanted hair from the root, leaving your skin smooth and hair-free for several weeks. Proper preparation and aftercare help minimise irritation, reduce the risk of ingrown hairs, and achieve the best possible results.

Keep your skin well moisturised (avoid applying lotion on the day of your appointment).
Stay well hydrated.

Hair should be approximately 5–10 mm (about the length of a grain of rice) for effective waxing.
Avoid shaving for at least 2–3 weeks before your appointment.
Avoid for 24–48 hours before treatment:
