The Brightside Process

Skin Assessment

Before we begin waxing, we take a look at your skin and assess how we can best approach your treatment. This is important for your skin health and for giving you the best results possible.

Waxing Treatment

Our team has the skill and experience necessary to perform your waxing treatment effectively and carefully. The procedure is relatively quick, and our movements are gentle and swift to ensure your comfort.

Lasting Results

When we remove your hair using premium body wax in Des Moines, it lifts directly from the root. That’s why you can enjoy your results for 3 to 6 weeks, which is much longer than skin-irritating methods like shaving.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Waxing Works

We apply a thin layer of warm wax to your skin and allow it to harden. Then, we quickly remove it along with the hair trapped within it. This method pulls the hair out from the root, leaving you with lasting smooth, hair-free skin.

How You Can Benefit

Lasting Results: Because waxing removes your hair at the root, you can enjoy smooth skin for several weeks before it begins to grow back.

Less Hair Over Time: Over time, your hair may grow back finer and thinner. This can make your future treatments easier and less painful.

Exfoliation: Waxing is also beneficial because it can gently exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells. This leaves your skin feeling clean, fresh, and rejuvenated.

Instructions for Care

To prepare for your waxing treatment, you can exfoliate a day or two before your appointment. Make sure to also avoid prolonged sun exposure. Your hair should also be at least ¼ inch long for the wax to properly cling to it.

After your treatment, we recommend avoiding hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Use a gentle moisturizer and avoid using harsh skincare products as your skin may be sensitive.

Who’s a Candidate for Waxing?

Waxing is a great treatment option for people who are interested in a long-lasting hair removal solution. We can effectively apply body wax in Des Moines to various hair types and areas of your body, including your face.
