How to Make Brazilian Waxes Less Painful

By /

 

Brazilian waxes can be a great way to achieve smooth, hair-free skin, but they can also be uncomfortable and even painful. Fortunately, there are a few steps that anyone considering a Brazilian wax can take to make the experience less unpleasant.  

 

First, it’s important to find an experienced waxer who is knowledgeable about the procedure. Ask questions about the waxer’s experience and read reviews from past clients to ensure you’re in good hands.  

 

Second, take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen about 30 minutes before the appointment to reduce discomfort. Make sure to ask your doctor first if you’re taking any other medications. 

Third, make sure the wax is not too hot or cold to avoid burning the skin. A good waxer will apply a small amount of wax to the back of their hand first and test the temperature beforehand. 

 

Finally, breathe deeply during the wax to help relax the muscles and make the process more bearable. Taking deep breaths can help distract from the sensation of wax being applied. 

 

By following these tips, Brazilian waxes can be a less painful experience. With the right preparation, anyone can enjoy smoother, hair-free skin without the worry of painful waxing sessions.
