MORE ABOUT THE TREATMENT
We Don’t Like Pain – So We Do Something About It
When we talk about pain-free waxing, we mean it. At Mika Marin Sthlm, intimate waxing is as close to painless as it gets. We use topical anesthesia (50% lidocaine spray) that can reduce pain by up to 70%. Any remaining discomfort is usually intense but very brief – just a second or two. The spray is highly effective and acts as fast as dental anesthetic.
Extra sensitive? You can prepare at home with numbing creams like Emla, Tapin, or Xylocaine, applied about an hour before your appointment.
Sweet Cotton – Gentle Waxing for Sensitive Skin
For body waxing, we also offer Sweet Cotton, a gentler option for those who are sensitive to pain. This wax adheres to the hair, not the skin, making it noticeably milder.
We use soft cotton strips instead of synthetic ones and finish with a soothing, moisturizing aftercare. Many of our clients find this method far more comfortable than traditional waxing.
Experts in Male Waxing – And of Course, Female Waxing Too
Most waxing courses focus primarily on female clients, and when it comes to intimate waxing, usually only the bikini area. Very few offer training in waxing the most sensitive parts – and almost none include male intimate waxing. That’s why many salons don’t offer Manzilian (also called Brozilian) services.
We’re different – we have specialist training in male intimate waxing.
What Is a Brozilian?
It’s your choice: remove all hair front and back, or leave a small strip in the front. Some men prefer to keep some hair because the area above the penis can be extra sensitive – or simply for aesthetic reasons. At our clinic, you always decide.
Brazilian vs Hollywood – What’s the Difference?
For women, Brazilian waxing usually means removing all hair from the front and back, but leaving a small strip at the top. A Hollywood wax removes absolutely everything – and it’s actually the most popular choice, for both women and men. Choose the style that fits your preference best. We have both male and female staff to ensure your comfort.
Full-Body Waxing
You’re welcome to wax any body part – either as a stand-alone treatment or as an add-on to your intimate Wax. Please note: topical anesthetics cannot be used on areas where strip wax is applied.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
When can you wax?
You can wax when the hair in the treatment area is at least 1.5 mm long. For best results, we recommend around 5 mm.
During your first session, not all hairs may come out – this is perfectly normal. Hair grows in cycles, and some strands may still be too short to be removed.
Tip for women:
Sensitivity to pain is usually lowest about a week before or after your period. It’s not dangerous to wax during menstruation, but it may feel more painful.
If you choose to go ahead, please use a tampon or menstrual cup.
Before your appointment
Here’s how to prepare for the best possible results:
-
Gently exfoliate the area the day before (optional, but recommended)
-
Shower about an hour before your appointment
-
Wash the area with intimate soap and water
-
Do not apply creams or oils after the shower
Want to reduce discomfort? Take two pain relievers with different active ingredients (e.g., paracetamol + ibuprofen) about an hour before your treatment. Avoid products containing aspirin or caffeine, as they may increase bleeding or reduce the effect of numbing agents.
Numbing Options – For an Almost Painless Experience
For intimate waxing and underarms, we offer a strong lidocaine spray for 99 SEK. Applied in-clinic just before the session, it can reduce pain by up to 70%.
Extra sensitive? You can enhance the numbing effect with at-home preparation:
Buy a cream containing lidocaine + prilocaine (e.g., Emla or Tapin) from a pharmacy. Apply one full tube one hour before the treatment.
Cover the area with plastic wrap and wear tight underwear to keep the cream in place. Avoid thongs – the entire area to be waxed must be covered.
Bring a spare pair of loose cotton underwear to change into afterwards.
Avoid drinking coffee, energy drinks, milk, or alcohol for at least 4 hours before your appointment. These can reduce numbing and increase risk of bleeding.
During the Treatment
It’s completely normal to feel nervous before your first wax. With numbing, many clients experience the treatment as virtually painless.
We’ll start with a quick consultation so you can explain exactly what you want. Be honest and clear – nothing is too personal or awkward here.
Once ready, you’ll lie comfortably on the treatment bed. Try to relax – tension can cause hair to break rather than pull from the root, reducing results.
If you need a break, just let us know – you’re in good hands.
The session usually takes 15–45 minutes, depending on the area and hair amount. First-time treatments – especially male intimate waxing – may take a bit longer. Future sessions will be quicker as we become familiar with your skin and body. Once done, you’ll check the area in a mirror and by touch. If you find any missed hairs, we’ll take care of them on the spot.
Around 98% of hair is typically removed during your first session.
We finish with a soothing oil, which should stay on for 4–8 hours.
Aftercare
-
Wear loose cotton underwear for a few days
-
Avoid friction – wear loose-fitting clothes right after the session
-
Sleep naked the first night, in clean sheets
For the first 24 hours:
✘ No shower, sauna, workout, sex, or sun exposure
✘ No swimming in chlorinated water
For your first shower: rinse with water only and pat dry
If your skin feels irritated, apply our Ingrowth Inhibitor to prevent ingrown hairs and bacterial buildup.
Long-Term Results
The next day, your skin will feel silky smooth.
Waxing makes the hair finer and fewer over time. That rough, itchy stubble from shaving becomes a thing of the past.
Important: Do not shave between sessions – it interferes with your results.
Depending on your hair growth, your next session is due in 4–6 weeks.
At the beginning, shorter intervals (around 4 weeks) may be needed – but over time, they can be extended with consistent waxing.
If irritation occurs
Allergic reactions are extremely rare – but if one occurs, contact your doctor.
Minor redness, bumps, or sensitivity are common and usually fade within 24 hours.
