Waxing is the quickest route to smooth skin: it clears hair from the root, so regrowth is softer and slower than shaving, and there is nothing to maintain in between. At Skincredible it is done properly — gentle wax, clean technique, and an appointment that is never rushed. We treat the face and the body, from a two-minute lip wax to a full Brazilian, and because you are in a physician-led clinic, we will tell you honestly if your skin is not in a state to be waxed that day.
You may be a good candidate for Waxing if…
- You want smooth skin today, not over a series
- Your hair is grey, blonde, or red
- You are pregnant and laser is off the table
- You are between laser sessions and need a tidy-up
- You have an event or a holiday coming up
Sound like you? Your first consultation is free — we’ll talk through your goals together and map out a plan that fits them.
When waxing, and when laser
These are different jobs and we offer both. Waxing suits you if you want smooth skin today, if your hair is grey, white, blonde, or true red (laser targets pigment, so it barely touches those), if you are pregnant, or if you simply prefer not to commit to a course. Laser hair removal suits you if your hair is dark blonde through black and you would rather stop the upkeep altogether over a series of sessions. Plenty of clients wax while they work through a laser series, or wax some areas and laser others. Tell us the goal and we will point you at whichever is genuinely right, including the cheaper one.

Getting the most from your appointment
Hair needs to be about a quarter of an inch long — roughly two weeks of growth — for wax to grip it, so resist shaving in the run-up. Come with clean, dry skin and no lotion or oil on the area. Afterwards, skin can look pink for a few hours; skip hot tubs, saunas, heavy exercise, and sun for about 24 hours, and exfoliate gently after a few days to keep ingrown hairs down. Booking every four to six weeks keeps everything on the same growth cycle, which makes each appointment quicker and more comfortable than the last.
