Stomach Wax
Smooth, clean midsection — stomach waxing for a confident look.
About This Treatment
Stomach waxing removes hair from the abdominal area — the linea alba (centre line), full abdomen, or both — for a clean, smooth midsection. A popular service for both men and women who want a polished look for summer, fitness, or simply personal preference.
How It Works
Skin prep
The area is cleansed and a light pre-wax oil or powder is applied to protect the skin and ensure the wax grips only the hair, not the surface cells.
Wax application
Warm wax is applied in the direction of hair growth at a safe, controlled temperature (tested on the esthetician's wrist first). For sensitive areas, hard wax is used — it sets firm and is removed without a strip.
Removal
The wax is removed in one swift, confident motion against the direction of hair growth. Speed and angle are everything — a skilled pull minimises discomfort and prevents breakage.
Finishing
Any stray hairs are removed with tweezers. A soothing after-wax lotion containing aloe vera and azulene is applied to calm redness and close the follicle.
What You Can Expect
Before Your Visit
- Hair should be at least ¼ inch (6 mm) long — length of a grain of rice.
- Exfoliate the area gently 24 hours before your appointment to reduce ingrown hairs.
- Avoid retinol, AHA/BHA acids, and Accutane for at least 5 days before waxing — these thin the skin.
- Skip sunbathing, tanning beds, and sun exposure 48 hours before.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing to avoid friction on freshly waxed skin.
After Your Visit
- Avoid touching the waxed area with unwashed hands for 24 hours.
- No heat — hot showers, saunas, or exercise that causes heavy sweating for 24 hours (open follicles are vulnerable to bacteria).
- No sun exposure or tanning for 48 hours — freshly waxed skin burns more easily.
- Begin exfoliating 48–72 hours after waxing, 2–3 times per week, to prevent ingrown hairs.
- Moisturise daily with a fragrance-free lotion to keep skin smooth.
