What you need to know about facial waxing services at Resplendent Day Spa
If you are considering facial waxing to remove unwanted hair, you are not the only one! Waxing is a wonderful way to remove unwanted hair for a longer period than plucking, depilatory creams, and shaving. At Resplendent Day Spa of Long Beach, California, our providers can help you decide if facial waxing is right for you. Let’s take a look at some frequently asked questions.
Does facial waxing hurt?
Facial waxing can be a little uncomfortable, but the sensation is usually quick and manageable. Most of our patients report that it feels like a quick pinch. Plus, the more you wax, the more you get used to it.
How long does facial waxing last?
Typically, the smoothness from facial waxing lasts anywhere between two to four weeks. It depends on your hair growth cycle, but the benefit of many weeks of hair-free bliss is worth the time and effort for most.
Is shaving or waxing better?
Many patients will ask the team at Resplendent Day Spa if they should shave instead of wax. This is a personal preference for some, but waxing will last much longer than shaving. Waxing removes the entire hair follicle, while traditional shaving only shortens it.

Can anyone get facial waxing done?
Absolutely! Facial waxing works for most skin types and hair textures. However, if you have super-sensitive skin or certain skin conditions, it is always a good idea to bring this to the attention of your provider first to decide whether or not to move forward with treatment.
Will it make my hair grow back thicker?
This is a common myth. Waxing removes hair from the root, and over time, it may come back finer and slower.
What should I do to prepare for facial waxing?
Ensure your skin is clean and exfoliated, but skip any harsh scrubs the day before. Avoid applying makeup, oils, or lotions before your appointment or session. Your skin will be cleansed before we begin the waxing process, but being proactive in cleaning the skin and avoiding topical products will help.
Are there any side effects?
You might experience a little redness or sensitivity right after, but it usually calms down within a few hours. Applying a gentle, soothing moisturizer can work wonders.
Can I wear makeup after getting my face waxed?
It is best to wait 24 hours before applying makeup. This gives your skin some time to breathe and recover.
