ANESTHESIA REDUCES 70% OF PAIN
Modern Brazilian waxing was introduced in Rio de Janeiro in the 1980s by eight sisters. Since then, the practice has spread all over the world. At our salon, we wax the whole body and are particularly experienced with Brazilian waxing.
When we talk about virtually painless waxing, we mean it. At Mika Marin Sthlm, intimate waxing is as close to painless as you can get. We use local anesthesia (lidocaine spray 50%) which can reduce up to 70% of the pain. The remaining discomfort is experienced by some as intense – but it passes in just a few seconds. The spray is very effective and works as quickly as a dental anesthetic. Anesthesia combined with the right technique makes waxing a pleasant experience.
WE ARE SPECIALISTS IN MANZILIAN
We have specialist training in male intimate waxing, manzilian. A manzilian means that you choose whether you want to remove all hair from the front and back, or keep a small strip at the front. Some choose to leave some hair because the area above the penis is often extra sensitive – or just because they like the look.
BRAZILIAN - OF COURSE
Female intimate waxing is often called Brazilian, but there are differences. A Brazilian means that all hair is removed from the front and back, but a small strip is left above at the front. A Hollywood means that everything is removed – and is actually the most popular variant, both among women and men. You choose the style that suits you best. We have both male and female staff.
WAX YOUR WHOLE BODY OR FACE
You can of course wax any part of your body you want – either as a stand-alone treatment or as an addition to your intimate waxing. Please note, however, that local anesthesia cannot be used on areas where we use strip wax.
MORE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
WHEN CAN YOU WAX?
You can wax when the hair in the area is at least 1.5 mm long. For best results, around 5 mm is recommended. The first time you wax, it may not be possible to remove all the hairs. This is because hair grows in different phases – some hairs are simply too short to be removed. Tips for women: Pain sensitivity is often lowest about a week before and after your period. Waxing during your period is not dangerous, but it can be more painful. If you choose to do it anyway, use a tampon or menstrual cup.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR A WAXING?
Preparations for best results: - Feel free to exfoliate the area the day before (optional but recommended). - Shower the same day, about an hour before the treatment. - Clean the area with intimate soap and water. - Do not use any creams or oils after the shower. Do you want to reduce any pain? - Take two painkillers with different active ingredients (e.g. paracetamol + ibuprofen) about an hour before the treatment. - Avoid preparations with acetylsalicylic acid or caffeine, as they can increase the risk of bleeding or reduce the effect of the anesthesia.
HOW CAN YOU REDUCE THE PAIN OF WAXING?
Do you want to reduce any pain? Take two painkillers with different active ingredients (e.g. paracetamol + ibuprofen) about an hour before the treatment. Avoid preparations with acetylsalicylic acid or caffeine, as they can increase the risk of bleeding or reduce the effect of the anesthetic. Anesthesia - for an almost painless experience! For intimate waxing or armpit waxing, we at Mika Marin Sthlm offer anesthesia - a lidocaine spray. It is applied directly to the salon before the treatment and reduces up to 70% of the pain. Bring an extra, loose cotton underwear to change into afterwards to reduce discomfort afterwards. Avoid drinking coffee, energy drinks, milk or alcohol at least four hours before the treatment - they can negatively affect the effect of the anesthetic and increase the risk of bleeding.
HOW DOES AN INTIMATE WAXING WORK?
It is completely normal to be nervous before your first time. However, with anesthesia, the experience will feel much easier – often completely painless. We always start with a short chat where you tell us how you want it. Be honest and clear – there are no strange or too intimate questions here. When everything is ready, lie down comfortably on the treatment table. Remember to relax. If you tense up, the hairs can break instead of being pulled out by the root, which can worsen the result. If you feel like you need a break – let us know! You are in safe hands. The treatment usually takes 15–45 minutes depending on the area and amount of hair. The first time, especially with male intimate waxing, may take a little longer. The next time it will go faster – then we will know your skin and body better. When we are finished, you can feel around with your fingers and look in the mirror. If you see or feel any hairs that we missed, we will remove them immediately. Already at the first visit, 98% of the hair is usually gone. The treatment ends with a soothing oil that should remain for 4–8 hours.
WHAT TO THINK ABOUT AFTER A WAXING?
Wear loose-fitting cotton underwear for a few days. Avoid friction – put on loose clothing immediately after the treatment. Sleep naked the first night between clean sheets. First day: No shower, sauna, exercise, sex or sun. Avoid swimming in chlorinated water. For the first shower – use only water and pat your skin dry. If your skin feels irritated, you can use our Ingrowth Inhibitor to prevent ingrown hairs and bacteria. The next day you will feel how smooth your skin is. The advantage of waxing is that the hairs become thinner and fewer over time. The rough and itchy stubble you get from shaving – will be a thing of the past. Important! Never shave between waxings – it ruins the effect. Depending on your hair growth, it is time for the next treatment after 4–6 weeks. At the beginning, the interval may be shorter (about 4 weeks), but will gradually be extended after regular waxing. If irritation occurs: An allergic reaction is very rare – but if it does occur, consult a doctor. Minor redness, stinging or sensitivity is common and usually disappears within 24 hours.
HOW LONG ARE YOU HAIRFREE AFTER WAXING?
Depending on your hair growth, it is time for the next treatment after 4–6 weeks. In the beginning, the interval may be shorter (about 4 weeks), but is gradually extended after regular waxing. After you have started waxing regularly, you are usually completely hair-free 2-3 weeks after waxing, after which the hair starts to grow back.
