Along with specializing in cosmetic acupuncture Devaunshi also brings along cupping treatments and natural henna tattoos.Cupping It is a method used to create a partial vacuum by the application of heat in glass cups that are then placed over the skin.  After the cups are placed over the skin, in a few minutes, local congestion is formed and that’s how localized healing takes place.... read more here. Or, if you want to beautify your skin in a gentler way try a henna tattoo

Will waxing remove all the hair?

• Pressure on application may not be enough; a person with excessive hair may have unseen layers of hair, and a second layer of hair may appear after the first layer is removed. If the area is not sensitive, waxing may be repeated once only.

• No, that's not possible; it's an old wive's tale. Over time, with frequent waxing, hair regrowth actually weakens and comes in finer and thinner, but good frequency and diligence is required to achieve results. If hair darkens and grows in thicker, it's a function of hormones, not waxing.

What causes ingrown hairs?

• Genetics - Some clients are prone to ingrown hairs due to their genetic makeup. The esthetician/technician should be consulted in regards to the best follow up care for their client. This may include some type of exfoliations treatment.
• Esthetician - The esthetician must be careful to remove the wax in the opposite direction of the hair growth while pulling the wax very close to the skin surface. If the wax is removed in an incorrect direction or is pulled up instead of close to the skin, the client's hair may be more prone to ingrown problems.
• Client Error - The client must avoid tight clothing after waxing, especially in the waxed areas. Tight clothing may result in irritation and ingrown hairs. The client should, after 24-48 hours, use some type of exfoliating product to keep the dead skin build up from accumulating in the areas that tend to become ingrown, i.e., bikini, upper thighs, underarms, back of necks, calves, etc.
• Weakened Hair - As the client continues with waxing, the hair will begin to weaken and thin. This may produce a temporary tendency to ingrown hairs. The client should continue to use their exfoliating products and procedures as recommended by their esthetician/technician. A great organic exfoliator is our TreeHouse Roots Body Polish, a natural exfoliant scrub and an excellent alternative to salt. Natural sugar sloughs dead skin cells without stinging, leaves skin ultra smooth and silky.
