WAXING DURING MENOPAUSE

There are no age limits for waxing treatments. In fact, waxing becomes very effective after the age of 40, as hair removal from the root complements the significant hormonal changes that directly influence hair growth. Body hair tends to lose strength and density, and on the other hand, facial hair often appears where there was none before. When it comes to facial waxing, it is a highly demanded area starting from the age of 40 due to these noticeable hormonal changes.

All of this is due to the natural hormonal changes women experience during these years.

Starpil, in its application protocols, recommends using the roll-on system for extensive areas like legs and low-melting waxes for sensitive areas such as the bikini line, underarms, and face.

We always suggest seeking beauty centers that use our products and protocols, including good application techniques. This is what ultimately guarantees excellent results, as it involves a set of important factors to consider.

Recommendations for Facial Waxing. Most Demanded Area During Menopause.

Step-by-Step:

1. Choose a Starpil Low-Melting Wax: Remember that crystalline waxes adhere more to the skin compared to creamy waxes with titanium dioxide in their composition. Our semi-creamy and creamy waxes are more selective and have less adhesion to the skin. Therefore, if our client describes skin sensitivity, we will choose creamier waxes.

2. Apply Prepil Gel with a Cotton Pad: Apply Starpil’s Gel Prepil to the area to be waxed. It is important not to overuse the product or leave excess on the skin.

3. Monitor Wax Temperature Closely: One common issue we see with some professionals is the high temperature at which they apply low-melting waxes. The ideal temperature is detectable when the wax is controllable and not dripping. If the wax drips, it is undoubtedly too hot.

4. Wax Multiple Facial Areas Carefully: If you need to work on several facial areas, for example, the upper lip and eyebrows, start with the upper lip and then proceed directly to the eyebrows. This means that if you need to reapply wax, do not do it immediately but move to another area to allow the skin to rest and minimize possible redness. Work in a circular motion, always allowing the area to rest.

5. Use Multidirectional Waxes: Remember that all our low-melting waxes are multidirectional, unlike the roll-on system which only allows working in the direction of hair growth. Low-melting waxes give us the freedom to work in different directions.

6. Minimize Irritation: It is essential to cause as little irritation as possible. Therefore, we must be very careful with our application techniques. Always apply the low-melting wax by carefully defining the edges of the wax strip, ensuring they are slightly raised compared to the rest of the strip. This way, you can remove the wax in one go without leaving residues on the skin.

7. Gentle Removal of the Wax Strip: Always be very careful when removing the wax strip. For facial areas, it is important to stretch both ends of the wax strip well with your hand, while working gently to avoid discomfort to the client.

8. Ensure No Hair Remains: Always check thoroughly that no hair remains, as facial hair is very fine and often difficult to remove. Additionally, remember that the client will be very particular about having no hair left and avoiding skin irritation.

9. Apply a Thin Layer of Starpil Acid Cream: Apply a thin layer of Starpil Acid Cream to act as a regenerating mask while continuing the waxing treatment on the rest of the body.

10. Continue with Other Areas: Proceed with waxing the other areas.

11. Apply SPF 50 Sunscreen to the Facial Area: Return to the facial area to apply SPF 50 sunscreen.

12. Post-Treatment Recommendations: Advise the client not to undergo any facial aesthetic treatments for 48 hours and to avoid sun exposure for the same duration.
