Bioepilation

Bioepilation is a process of removing hair from the skin using wax, phytoresin or sugar mass (sugaring). This procedure is especially popular among women, as it allows you to quickly get rid of hair, for example, on your legs or intimate areas and keep your skin smooth for a long time.

The bioepilation procedure can be carried out using warm or hot wax. The latter is usually used to remove hair on the face, armpits, and bikini area. This wax contains pine resin, almond oil, lemon, and rubber impurities. The wax is heated to the required temperature and, when in contact with the skin, it expands the pores, which is why hair removal is carried out as quickly as possible. Wax is applied to dried skin in the direction of hair growth, and their elimination is carried out by pulling out in the opposite direction.

Warm wax contains special softening ingredients that allow it to heat up at a low temperature. This wax is applied to the skin in the direction of hair growth, then covered with a specially designed cloth or paper, which is then removed along with the hair. This wax is used if you have thin hair.

At the end of the procedure, the remaining wax is removed using cleansing oils, which also help relieve unpleasant sensations on the skin. The skin is then treated with antiseptics and hair growth retardants.

Bikini bioepilation

Bikini bioepilation is performed with hot wax or phyto-resins when the hair length in the intimate areas is more than five millimeters. Wax is applied to the skin, covered with a special strip of paper, which is then removed with a sharp movement, thereby removing the hair in the peripubic area.

After removing all unwanted hair, the skin surface is treated with a softening and soothing cosmetic lotion, as well as a product that slows down further hair growth. Bikini bioepilation lasts about twenty minutes.

The effect obtained from such a procedure is immediate, the skin surface becomes perfectly smooth. It should be noted that when performing bikini bioepilation for the first time, slight discomfort on the skin may occur, which, however, decreases with each subsequent procedure. After bikini bioepilation, hair growth in the intimate area slows down by about thirty to forty percent.

Women who plan to undergo bioepilation of the bikini area should make sure that there are no contraindications to the procedure, such as inflammatory processes on the skin surface, the presence of any damage or neoplasms on it, gynecological diseases and the menstrual period. There are also systemic diseases in which bioepilation is contraindicated: for example, diabetes mellitus, heart pathologies, high blood pressure and some others.

Before undergoing bikini bioepilation, consult a specialist about the advisability of the procedure.

Deep bikini bioepilation

Deep bikini bioepilation is hair removal in the most delicate areas: in the pubic area, labia and buttocks. Wax is used for the procedure; to achieve maximum effect, the hair length should be approximately four millimeters. After wax bioepilation, the smoothness of the skin in intimate areas lasts for about three weeks.

If you decide to do deep bikini bioepilation for the first time, you should take into account that the procedure may initially cause discomfort and slightly painful sensations. With each subsequent procedure, the pain sensations decrease as a result of thinning hairs.

It is important to take into account that there are a number of contraindications for bioepilation in intimate areas, including pregnancy, gynecological diseases, menstruation, etc., which you should definitely ask your doctor about, who, based on the tests, will determine how appropriate bioepilation will be in your case.

Bioepilation with wax

Bioepilation with wax is performed using hot or warm wax to remove hairs on various areas of the skin: on the legs, arms, armpits, bikini area, and also on the face. The hair follicle is not damaged, only the hair shaft is affected.

After about three weeks after bioepilation with wax, the hair begins to grow, but it is no longer as hard and is removed less painfully with each subsequent procedure. The bioepilation procedure with wax can only be carried out in the absence of contraindications. Special wipes are used as auxiliary means for bioepilation. In the deep bikini area, as well as on the face, hair is removed without the use of wipes.

Hard wax is made from pine resin with the addition of rubber and vegetable oils. This type of wax, after being applied to the skin, helps to expand the pores, which allows for effective hair removal and ensures ideal skin smoothness. The wax is applied to the skin surface in the direction of hair growth, after which it is covered with a special napkin, which is then removed with a quick movement in the opposite direction to hair growth, which allows for effective hair removal.

In addition to pine resins, soft wax contains special softeners.

The procedure is carried out according to the same scheme as with hot wax. After the procedure, the skin surface is treated with oils and lotions that neutralize wax residue and soothe the skin.

After bioepilation, the skin should also be treated with a product that slows down hair growth.

Bioepilation with sugar

Bioepilation with sugar (sugaring) allows you to remove even barely noticeable hairs and make your skin perfectly smooth without the slightest risk of skin irritation.

It is certain that such a positive effect is achieved only with high-quality materials without adding dyes and fragrances. Before performing bioepilation with sugar, talc is applied to the skin to dry it and prepare it for the procedure. Then the skin surface is covered with a thick layer of heated sugar paste in the direction opposite to hair growth. After this, the thickened mixture is removed along with the hairs, and the skin is lubricated with a soothing lotion.

Sugar bioepilation can be performed on any skin area, including the face. This procedure not only makes the skin smooth, but also cleanses the skin, making it more delicate. The maximum effect of sugar bioepilation is observed with hairs of four to five millimeters in length. If the hairs are much longer, the procedure may be accompanied by painful sensations.

Skin smoothness after bioepilation with sugar lasts from one to one and a half months. The hair removal procedure takes from five to thirty minutes, depending on which part of the body is bioepilated.

Bioepilation with resin

Bioepilation with resin is carried out using a mixture of natural origin based on honey with the addition of plant components. Before epilation, such a product does not need to be warmed up, which makes it quite convenient to use.

Honey resin can be used to remove hair from any area of the skin, including the face and intimate areas. One of the ingredients of phyto-resin for hair removal is walnut, which helps slow down the rate of hair growth. Smooth skin after bio-epilation with resin lasts for two to three weeks.

Bioepilation of armpits

Bioepilation of armpits allows you to remove unwanted hair in the armpit area and keep the skin smooth for fourteen to twenty days. The most common method of bioepilation of armpits is waxing. To do this, a layer of heated wax is applied to the armpit area, after which it is removed along with the grown hairs.

After the procedure, the armpits are treated with a softening lotion and a hair growth retardant. Bioepilation of the armpits allows you to give not only an aesthetic appearance, but also more comfortable sensations in this area.

Bioepilation of the upper lip

Unwanted facial hair growth is undoubtedly a problem for women, causing a lot of inconvenience, discomfort and disrupting the aesthetics of the face.

When hair appears above the upper lip, bioepilation will come to the rescue, allowing you to effectively remove all unwanted hairs in this area. The cause of hair growth above the upper lip can be genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, or thyroid or gynecological diseases.

To get rid of hair above the upper lip, sugar, phyto-resin or wax can be used during bioepilation, allowing you to effectively remove facial hair with a minimal risk of developing skin irritation.

Before the procedure, the face is cleaned, the skin is treated with talc and antiseptics. After this, heated wax (sugar or resin) is applied to the problem area, then the hardened mass is removed along with unwanted hair. The remaining wax is removed with lotion, after which special products are applied to the skin that slow down the rate of hair growth.

The effect of the procedure lasts for two to three weeks. When the procedure is repeated, the hairs will be softer, which will allow them to be removed more quickly and painlessly.

When bioepilation above the upper lip is performed using resin or sugar paste, discomfort is less pronounced, and the effect can last from four to five weeks. It is recommended to avoid exposure to the sun for 24 hours after the procedure, and you should also avoid visiting a sauna or using cosmetics.

Bioepilation of legs

Bioepilation of legs is quite popular among women, as it allows you to quickly and effectively get rid of unwanted hair in this area and make your skin smooth and beautiful. Unlike men, hair on women's legs is not the norm and significantly disrupts their aesthetics and attractiveness. This procedure is especially relevant in the summer, when the legs are bare every day and should look perfect. Bioepilation of legs comes to the rescue in such a situation, allowing you to forget about such a phenomenon as hair on your legs for three to four weeks.

To remove hair on the legs, bioepilation uses heated wax, which is applied to the skin of the legs in the direction of hair growth, after which it is quickly removed in the opposite direction. After all the hairs have been removed, the wax residue is cleaned off with lotion, and the skin is lubricated with a special agent that helps slow down hair growth.

Bioepilation at home

Bioepilation at home using wax requires certain precautions. If the hair removal procedure is carried out using hot wax, the temperature of its heating should be carefully controlled to avoid burns. To prepare a warm wax mass, the wax is heated in a water bath, but such a mixture cools down quite quickly, so it must be heated several times. It is also possible to carry out the procedure using cold wax, for which it is softened with hands and then applied to the skin.

After the wax mass has hardened, it is removed from the skin surface along with the regrown hairs in the direction opposite to their growth. Next, the skin should be disinfected and lubricated with a soothing lotion.

Bioepilation at home can also be done using sugar mass or phytoresin. If you decide to do bioepilation, it is best to trust a qualified specialist to get the maximum effect without the risk of developing negative consequences.
