Scent Discovery Sutra Nov 08 :Waxing

We are nearing the end of the year. And you know what that means - parties and celebrations in anticipation of a better year ahead. With all these, come preparations.

I would like to introduce you to a beauty care procedure that is becoming very popular among men and women - waxing.

Waxing is a semi-permanent hair removal procedure which removes unwanted hair from the root. This is really a simple procedure, yet, there are so many concerns surrounding it. For those who have never experienced waxing, I would like to share some benefits of waxing to help you understand it better.

Waxing used to be done only by women for various parts of the body. However, the convenience and positive effects of waxing have converted many men to have their bodies waxed. At Scent Discovery, our waxing services include Brazilian, Boyzilian, Bikini, chest, underarms, legs, and face.

The process usually takes around 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area of waxing and your hair growth density. If you ask, most will tell you that it is time well spent.

"Eva Longoria talks in Cosmopolitan magazine about sex and extols the virtues of Brazilian bikini wax. "It makes sex better," she told Cosmo. And it's worth the pain? "Believe me, the first time I did it, the technician did half, and I was like 'Stop!' She said, 'Sit down, I have to finish.' But then it gets easier. The more you do it, the less hair grows back. But yeah, I love it. I swear by it. Every woman should try a Brazilian wax once. And then the sex they have afterward will make them keep coming back."


Unlike other methods of hair removal, waxing does not cause any cuts, abrasions, pigmentation or other side effects like leaving behind a bad smell. There are no harsh chemicals used and the procedure is quick and simple. This means that your skin will not be exposed to chemicals which might potentially react negatively with it (sometimes known as allergic reaction or sensitivity). The wax itself is quite inert and most people should not have any negative reactions to it.

Another big advantage of waxing is the fact that hair growth takes longer. When you wax, hair is removed from the root. You see, when this happens, it can take 3 - 8 weeks for hair to re-grow. The speed of this happening varies from person to person. Still, the most important result is, you can go for an entire vacation without worrying about taking care of any unwanted hair growth. Just imagine enjoying smooth and healthy skin without constant attention.

Though, waxing is not a permanent hair removal system, the hair that grows again is usually finer and softer in texture. Compared to shaving, this is definitely a better alternative. Many of our clients who have done regular waxing have also seen the effect of having less hair growth. As hair is removed from its roots, some of the hair never re-grows. So, you will see less hair, finer hair and smoother skin.

The above are just some of the benefits of waxing. There is another potential "benefit", although it is not actually intentional. The waxing process takes away a thin layer of skin from the surface. This is in effect an exfoliation, removing dead skin cells and exposing new healthy skin.

We at Scent Discovery have professionally trained therapists who will be able to advise you and guide you through the entire procedure. Using only wax imported from Australia, we are very particular about its quality. This is important because good quality wax reduces pain during the waxing process.

So, if you are still considering and have questions, feel free to ask.
