You also deserve to be discussed by a professional. How to find it? Of course, you will not be able to walk around the salons and observe where and how what is being done. But you do bioepilation, and perhaps not in one salon. Take a look at the specialist – whether he is at all. Pay attention to his manipulations and compare them with those that MUST be done in a decent salon. And most importantly, check whether the program followed by masters around the world is followed. In total, there are 6 main “steps”, as a result of which an almost perfect result is achieved.

1. Drawing up a “bioepilation card”
Each skin type, like each part of the body, is a special case and requires a certain correction of the bioepilation method. In this sense, the direction of hair growth is not the only point worthy of attention and study before applying the first wax strip. So, the specialist never forgets that the skin in the upper lip is predisposed to the appearance of pimples, the armpit skin is very sensitive, the appearance of ingrown hair is characteristic of the bikini zone, and red rashes often appear on the legs. And such a feature as increased hair growth also matters. Therefore, a thorough diagnosis provides the necessary information for a professional procedure, which allows for an individual approach to each client. The chain of such diagnostics is to find out what kind of wax is preferred, and also what skin care will be required before and after hair removal. During the procedure, it becomes possible to decide on additional treatments for the skin of the face and body.
2. Skin care before bioepilation facilitates its implementation
Before bioepilation from the skin it is necessary to remove the remnants of the used cosmetics (milk, oil, cream, decorative cosmetics). The leather is then prepared for waxing. To do this, they use drugs that can protect it from the specific effects of the epilation procedure: these can be antiseptics, bactericidal or skin softeners, as well as general drugs. Finally, it is imperative to get rid of moisture on the skin surface with talcum powder. Wax can only be applied to perfectly clean and dry skin.
3. How does a real professional achieve high-quality bioepilation ?!
The primary task for bioepilation is to choose the right type of wax that would provide complete hair removal without breaking off. The choice of wax depends on your hairline, on the type of your skin and on the part of the body that will be subjected to hair removal, and also on the time of year when the procedure is performed. Therefore, a good salon always uses several types of wax.
What should concern you, as a customer, above all? That’s right, hygiene in the salon during the procedure. And the guarantee of compliance with hygiene standards is the use of disposable wax. If you suffer from such ailments as peripheral circulation and swelling of the legs (and a professional will ask you about this), hot wax is contraindicated for you. Use low temperature wax.
Yes, since we are talking about waxes, let us determine how they differ from each other.
Hot wax
Hot wax is often used for bio epilation. This occurs when clients have very thick hair, or for bikini and underarm hair removal. Although hot wax is considered reusable, it is thrown away after the first application in a good salon for hygienic reasons.
And they don’t forget that hot wax is contraindicated for customers suffering from peripheral circulatory disorders.
Low temperature wax
Due to its consistency, low-temperature wax adheres very well to hair. When applied to the body, such a wax has a rather liquid consistency, and as it cools, it becomes thick and tenaciously “grabs” the hairs. Non-recyclable, low temperature wax has been successfully used as a highly hygienic product without the unwanted effects associated with thermal treatments. On the other hand, the relatively high cost of such wax and the duration of the procedure with it (removing hair with such wax takes longer than working with any other wax) determine its limited use – in cases of epilation of small surfaces (face,
armpits, bikini area )
A resinous, low-temperature wax that is removed with a cotton non-woven strip, designed to get rid of the finest hairs that easily come out of the skin. This type of wax is usually used by professionals for those clients who regularly use this service in a beauty salon.
Cold wax
Ready-to-use cold water-soluble wax can be used for hair removal for any skin type. It is odorless and does not warm the skin, thus eliminating any problems associated with the irritating effect of wax. Apply cold wax in a very thin layer and remove with paper strips.
At the proper level, the bioepilation procedure is carried out by the one who:
Applies wax in the direction of hair growth.
Relieves – against hair growth.
He chooses the length of the strips depending on your hairline – the more powerful it is, the shorter strips should be used.
Eyebrow bioepilation – skill test
Not every specialist will offer you to do eyebrow correction using bioepilation. In France, this procedure is quite expensive, carried out at the highest class and indicates that you are a true professional. The procedure is as follows:
After thoroughly removing the make-up around the eyes, the eyebrow area is massaged to relax it, then products are applied to help prepare the skin for bio-epilation. At the same time, the specialist tries to find out your aesthetic wishes, while using the opportunity to clarify how important the shape of the eyebrows is for the harmony of the whole face as a whole, and for the expressiveness of the eyes. Usually only warm or low-temperature wax is used, the hair removal of the eyebrows is completed with jewelry “trimming” with tweezers. After bioepilation, a preparation is applied to the treated area to reduce hyperemia (redness).
If you managed to find such a master, feel free to become his constantly client. By the way, here the master will recommend the most suitable product for the care of the skin around the eyes. The same applies, of course, to make-up products.
Bio bikini deep epilation
Oriental sexy version (total hair removal), as well as the American version (when the hair triangle is left) are becoming increasingly popular. To carry out hair removal in the bikini area, professionals use the least warm wax possible. They take into account the fact that in this area the skin is very thin and sensitive.
4. The use of skin care products after bioepilation
This is a very crucial stage, at which the specialist should solve all the problems that arise after the procedure, and at the same time show his competence and simultaneously invite you to purchase appropriate cosmetics. He should do the following:
Remove traces of wax, if any.
Disinfect epilated surfaces: Wipe thoroughly with a cleansing antiseptic lotion.
Apply the cosmetic that your skin needs (moisturizing, soothing, softening, toning, stimulating, relieving fatigue, etc.) and massage. The purpose of the massage is to create a feeling of well-being and vitality in you. At the same time, he must explain to you what means and for what purpose you need to use (in your case!).
After the entire complex of relevant procedures has been performed with the help of specially designed means, he must deal with the elimination of possible undesirable consequences of epilation (redness, peeling, pimples).
5. Additional skin care
Currently, hair removal is primarily aimed at aesthetic goals, and therefore, naturally, you, as a client, are interested in the long-term effect of the procedure. Bioepilation can be considered as a kind of skin cleansing, so the period after it is ideal for applying cosmetics designed for skin care, so that the result of hair removal is optimal and clear. Having got rid of hair, the skin becomes more susceptible to the action of the active ingredients of cosmetics. The bioepilation procedure will take on a shade of even more professionalism if you are offered a whole range of additional services, for example: a
procedure that slows down hair growth;
a procedure that weakens the hair;
soothing and softening skin care;
firming and moisturizing skin care;
redness elimination;
prevention of pimples;
prevention of subcutaneous hair growth;
relaxing care;
care for puffy legs;
dry skin care.
Mandatory hygiene rules to be followed by a professional:
Before starting bioepilation, disinfect hands with a bactericidal preparation.
If a specialist needs to use tweezers, he will treat it with alcohol in front of your eyes.
He will protect his hands – he will either wear disposable rubber gloves or treat them with a preparation specially designed for this purpose, only after that he will begin to epilate the bikini zone, armpits and face.
If a drop of blood appears on your skin, stop the bleeding by applying a cotton swab dipped in an antiseptic and then dust it with talcum powder.
Even an empty trash can in the passenger compartment should be hidden in a specially designated place for it.
6. Purchase of cosmetics for additional skin care
The brilliant bio-epilation result, combined with the skin softening effect, can be successfully maintained and prolonged with skin care cosmetics after bio-epilation. In addition, these remedies can prevent possible complications after the procedure.
If you are concerned about the condition of your hairline (excessive hairiness, ingrown hairs) or problems that occur after hair removal (skin soreness, redness, irritation), the specialist will apply special cosmetics designed for this purpose to the appropriate areas. It is advisable to continue their use in maintenance doses at home, this will give noticeable results. In this salon you are served at the highest professional level, if you are offered to purchase a trial sample.
If you are satisfied with the hair removal procedure and the level of service, then without fear from this salon you can take home the purchased cosmetics for additional skin care, which will help you prolong the effect of bio-hair removal or reduce the undesirable effects of the procedure.
And most importantly, when choosing a salon, do not forget that this procedure is not limited to the banal removal of excess hair (this is not shaving and not using a depilatory cream), it also includes constant and regular skin care, which helps to weaken the hairline, slow down hair growth, improving the condition of the epidermis. As a result, bioepilation every time becomes more successful and less painful, the problems of skin infection, the appearance of acne or redness after the procedure are eliminated, etc. IF YOU FIND WHAT YOU NEED. And believe me – it’s worth looking. It is better to spend a lot of your time, but to find a salon where you will ALWAYS be offered a professional level, than to suffer from the incompetence of the “masters”.
