Premium Hair Removal for Skin Health & Long-Lasting Smoothness.
At Bodytonic Clinic, we have elevated waxing from a beauty service to a high-standard clinical treatment. Available at our Canada Water and Stratford clinics, we combine high-grade hygiene protocols with premium wax technology to ensure your skin remains calm, healthy, and irritation-free.
The Bodytonic Clinical Hygiene Standards
Unlike many high-street salons, we adhere to strict clinical protocols to protect your skin:
- Zero Cross-Contamination: We operate a strict “No Double-Dipping” policy. A fresh spatula is used for every single application, ensuring the wax in our heaters remains 100% sterile.
- Medical-Grade Prep: We use pre-wax cleansers and clinical oils to create a barrier between the wax and your skin, significantly reducing redness and irritation.
- Advanced Wax Technology: We use Harley Aloe Vera Hot Wax for sensitive areas (Hollywood, Brazilian, Underarms) and Green Tea Strip Wax for larger areas. These premium formulas shrink-wrap the hair, not the skin, for a virtually pain-free experience.

Pregnancy Waxing: Safe Care Up to Your Due Date
At Bodytonic Clinic, we regularly receive queries from expectant mothers asking if it is safe to wax right up until giving birth. The short answer is yes-with the correct clinical adjustments, professional waxing is entirely safe for both mother and baby throughout all trimesters.
Maintaining your intimate grooming routine provides comfort, prevents razor cuts when visibility becomes difficult, and helps many women feel fully prepared and confident for labor.
Critical Medical & Safety Considerations (Our Clinical Standards):
- Increased Sensitivity: Hormonal shifts during pregnancy cause an increase in blood flow to the pelvic region. This can make the skin more sensitive or prone to redness. For all pregnancy intimate waxing (Bikini, Brazilian, Hollywood etc.), our practitioners exclusively utilise Harley Aloe Vera Hot Wax to shrink-wrap the hair rather than pull the skin, minimising discomfort.
- Positioning & Comfort Modifications: As your baby bump progresses in the second and third trimesters, lying flat on your back for extended periods is not recommended (to avoid pressure on the vena cava). So modified positioning is required to guarantee your absolute comfort and safety.
- Important Rule for Elective C-Sections (NHS Compliance): If you are scheduled for a planned Caesarean birth, NHS guidelines state that you must stop shaving or waxing your pubic and bikini area at least 1 week prior to your surgery date. This is a strict clinical measure to prevent micro-abrasions that could introduce bacteria and increase the risk of surgical site infections.
- Post-Natal Resumption: We advise waiting a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks following a natural birth or C-section before booking your next intimate wax, allowing the tissue to fully heal. If you experienced a tear or an episiotomy, we recommend consulting your GP or midwife, and we will carefully wax around any sensitive scar tissue for up to 6 months post-partum.

Waxing Science: The 3 Stages of Hair Growth
To achieve the best results and eventually reduce hair thickness, we recommend regular waxing every 4 – 6 weeks. This aligns with your natural hair growth cycles:
- Anagen (Active Growth): The best time to wax. Removing hair at this stage leads to a gradual reduction in regrowth.
- Catagen (Transition): The follicle shrinks and the hair prepares to shed.
- Telogen (Resting): The hair is detached; a new hair may already be forming underneath.

How to Prepare for Your Waxing Appointment
To ensure the most comfortable treatment experience and the smoothest results, please follow these essential pre-waxing guidelines:
- Optimal length: For the most effective hair removal, your hair must be around at least 0.5cm long.
- Avoid shaving between sessions: Shaving can cause your next treatment to be more painful, and the hair may become too strong or short for the wax to pull out effectively.
- Trim if necessary: If your hair is longer than 1cm, we highly suggest trimming it beforehand, especially in the more sensitive bikini, Brazilian, or Hollywood areas.
Waxing aftercare advice
Here are some guidelines to ensure that your skin is cared for after your waxing. The following reactions are quite common after waxing and are normal and temporary reactions. All should subside within 24hrs:
- Heat reaction
- Post treatment could be seen on the skin for several hours following your wax. This could be in the form of slight soreness, small bumps or redness of your skin. This varies person to person from a mild redness to a much stronger reaction such as hives
- Waxing aftercare Skin sensitivity advice
- Try to avoid very hot baths, showers, steam rooms, saunas and Jacuzzis for 24 hours
- Skin sensitivity to UV light. Please avoid sun-beds and sunbathing for 24 hours, as more intense burning could occur
- Avoid applying fake tan to your skin for 24 hours
- Don’t apply deodorant or anything perfumed for 24 hours
- Avoid wearing tight clothing, such as skinny jeans and tights for 24 hours
If the waxing aftercare advice given is followed your skin should return to normal within 24 hours. If any reaction is still present after this time, it may be an allergic reaction to the wax so please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any problems.
What do ingrown hairs look like?
Ingrown hairs occur when a new hair is trying to break through the skin and then curls back into the pore instead, often resulting in a spot or in the worst case ingrown hair cyst. They can appear as just a hair under the skin, small red bumps or the area can be very painful and inflamed. Ingrown hairs can appear on your legs, bikini line, underarms and even your waxing face. Hair removal can often worsen the situation especially if you are prone to ingrown hairs. How to prevent ingrown Hairs?
Advice for all areas bikini line waxing such as Hollywood and all body waxing, leg waxing , back waxing and chest waxing the following is advisable:
- Wear loose fitting clothing after the waxing session for 24 hours
- Gently exfoliate your skin 24-48 hours after your appointment
- Between waxing appointments exfoliate 3-4 times a week
- Exfoliating the skin using antibacterial body wash may help if the ingrown hairs are inflamed. Use one with a natural fragrance. Something with tea tree or essential oils will be advised, for example tea tree or peppermint. This can be applied with exfoliating mitts.
- Once the hair has started to grow back, usually around 3-4 weeks, we advise that you exfoliate every day, this will help all the hairs come to the surface straight away and avoid becoming ingrown
- Moisturise the area daily which will keep the skin supple and help new hairs to break through. Once again don’t use anything too perfumed.
How to prevent ingrown hair on the face
Breakout of spots can occur on the area of the face you have recently had waxed after treatment. This can lead to ingrown hairs as the follicle shaft will have been blocked during the breakout. To prevent ingrown hairs on the face we have a few suggestions to follow:
- Exfoliate skin a minimum of 24 hours after receiving your waxing treatment. Use a mild chemical exfoliator, we recommend a good Glycolic acid.
- Using a mechanical exfoliator, such as an exfoliating cloth or brush, a minimum of 24 hours after receiving your treatment, this will heal white heads if they have developed.
Gently repeating the above every other day for up to 3-7 days or until the spots disappear. This will ensure the follicle is clean and heals therefore preventing future ingrown hairs.
What should I do with a waxing burn?
Waxing burn, bruising and patches of skin removal can sometimes happen due to the fact we are using hot wax to remove hairs which are made from the same substance as your skin – Keratin. Receiving burns during a waxing appointment is very rare. We always use the utmost caution by applying talcum powder to your skin before the green tea strip wax and waxing strips. For Harley aloe vera hot wax the procedure is slightly different, in that we would apply pre-oil before the wax is applied, but sometimes mishaps occur.
If you are prone to waxing burns for any of the following reasons please notify your therapist before treatment, so we can use extra care while waxing.
- Recent sunburn or extreme sun exposure
- Very dry or dehydrated skin
- Areas of loose skin
- Extremely sensitive skins e.g. eczema and psoriasis
- Wax temperature (either to hot or cold)
- Certain waxing removal techniques
- For facial areas specifically
- Overuse of exfoliating products
- Overuse of Vitamin A or Retinol
- Extremely Sensitive skins
- Recent facials / peels (within the last 7 days)
- Recent facial aesthetics (within the last month)
If your therapist notices any marks in treatment they will advise you what has happened and offer the best aftercare. Sometimes the redness does not appear immediately and once you’re home you may notice this.
Waxing burn aftercare advice
- Clean the area with cool water or a soothing cleanser such as Aloe Vera
- Do not use anything perfumed
- Apply antibacterial or antiseptic cream, if the area is very inflamed or red
- Keep doing so for 1-3 days
- It is very important to apply a thick layer of sunscreen if you are going out in the sun
- For the facial areas try and avoid any make up for 3-4 days
- Avoid any exfoliating products for at least 7 days
- Keep the area hydrated and moisturised
- We suggest bio oil or an aloe vera soothing lotion
- The area will start to heal and possibly flake
- It can take up to 7 days to heal
