While the body can regrow that hair follicle. It will take a longer time to regrow. Then waxing will. And with subsequent treatments after the initial session. Will cause the body to stop trying to regrow those follicles.
One of the most common questions that Edmonton dermatology gets about this procedure. Is if it is painful. Since that is one of the reasons why people typically do not remove their hair through waxing.
Not only is it cost prohibitive, requiring people to go to a salon every month. But because it is also intensely painful. Not only because it pulls multiple hairs out at the root at a time.
But also, because the hot wax applied. Also pulls the skin at the same time. Which is also painful. But what is more troubling. Is the fact that hot wax also is linked to premature wrinkles.
Because it damages the elasticity of the skin, as the wax is pulled over the skin during repeated treatments. There is no wonder, why people are looking for an alternative to this barbaric procedure.
