Unwanted hair can be frustrating to manage at home, and shaving often leaves behind irritation or uneven results. Body waxing at ALFA Med Spa in Columbus, Ohio, led by Leyla Aliyeva, FNP-S, is performed by trained professionals.
With careful technique and a clean setting, waxing delivers smoother skin that lasts longer than shaving or depilatory creams. Many clients choose to make waxing part of their regular routine, appreciating the results and the consistent care they receive from the team at ALFA.
What Is Body Waxing?
Body waxing is a hair removal method that takes away unwanted hair directly from the root. During treatment, a thin layer of warm wax is applied to the skin and then removed quickly, lifting the hair along with it. Unlike shaving, which only cuts hair at the surface, waxing removes it from beneath the skin.
Areas We Wax
Waxing is versatile and can be performed almost anywhere on the body. Common areas include:
- Legs and arms
- Underarms
- Bikini or Brazilian area
- Back or chest
- Face areas such as brows, chin, or upper lip
Benefits of Waxing
Waxing is one of the most reliable ways to keep skin smooth for weeks at a time. Some of the key benefits include:
- Long-lasting smoothness, typically three to six weeks
- Finer, softer hair regrowth over time
- No daily maintenance compared to shaving
- Reduced irritation and fewer ingrown hairs when done professionally
- A clean, polished look for both men and women
What to Expect During Treatment
Your waxing session will be quick and efficient. Our estheticians use high-quality wax and precise techniques to minimize discomfort and protect the skin. After treatment, we’ll apply soothing products to calm the area. Some redness may occur but usually resolves within hours.
For best results, your hair should be about a quarter-inch long before waxing.
How to Prepare and Aftercare Tips
Getting the best results from waxing starts with simple preparation and a few steps of aftercare. Following these guidelines helps minimize irritation and keeps skin smooth longer.
Before your appointment:
- Let hair grow to about a quarter-inch in length (roughly the size of a grain of rice).
- Gently exfoliate the area a day or two before to remove dead skin cells.
- Avoid heavy lotions or oils on the day of your appointment, as they can interfere with the wax.
- Wear comfortable clothing that won’t rub against freshly waxed skin.
After your appointment:
- Keep the area clean and avoid heat, exercise, or sun exposure for 24 hours.
- Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe the skin.
- Skip hot baths, saunas, or tight clothing that may cause irritation.
- Exfoliate lightly a few days later to help prevent ingrown hairs.
- Schedule regular sessions every 4–6 weeks for the smoothest, easiest maintenance.
