QUESTIONS

Of course ripping hair out of follicles isn’t going to be an utterly comfortable experience. However, in the hands of an experienced esthetician the process is only minorly painful. It helps if your esthetician has prolonged experience with hair removal, especially with Brazilian Bikini Waxes. Make sure she holds your skin taught. She may even ask you for help. You might not want to wax four (4) days before, or four (4) days after your menstrual cycle. You will find it is a little more painful on these days. It is also more uncomfortable if you are overly tired or are feeling a little under the weather. It’s not that we can’t perform a Brazilian Bikini Wax on these days; it’s just a little less comfortable for you. If you do decide to wax during your menstrual cycle, please arrive to your appointment squeaky clean with a new tampon. 

We cannot wax you if you fall under any of the following categories: a. You are using any Retinol products i.e. Retin A, Renova etc. on your bikini line or brow area.b. You are using Accutane.c. You have any kind of sunburn, laser burn, pustules or breakouts on the area to be waxed.d. You are diabetic. However, we can wax you if you supply a doctor’s note saying it’s okay for you to wax. We ask that you discreetly disclose any and all medical conditions you have before we wax you, especially any STDs. Also, please, please freshen up before your appointment. Although we always prep the skin with an antiseptic before we wax, we cannot apply wax to skin with any debris on it. We follow the rules of TDLR and like to run a clean spa boutique!

For those of you who are getting a Brazilian Bikini Wax for the first time, I would say probably. Let’s put it this way, the coarser your hair and the more sensitive your skin, the more sensitivity you will feel during and after the wax. Some first-time clients are uncomfortable for an hour or so and others feel a little bit sore for a day or two. Additionally, it is important not to wear tight jeans or pants if it is your first time waxing.

Yes you can, but with everything while you are pregnant please ask your doctor to be in the clear. We have a Mommy to Be Brazilian for our pregnant mamas.  You can also wax while on your period but please freshen up and have a clean tampon in, an ibuprofen 45 minutes before hand can also help.  

For best results your hair should be grown out 2-3 weeks. The longer the grow out the better the results. The minimum leghth required is that of a grain of rice.

No sunbathing for at least 12 hours (have your waxing done at least the day BEFORE you go on holiday) No swimming in a chlorinated pool for 24 hours Same for spa baths or saunas Avoid applying any topical lotions for at least 12 hours (fragrances and other lubricants can cause a burning sensation) Also avoid touching the waxed area to ensure it remains bacteria free Use a tea tree oil based product to apply to the area for it’s anti-bacterial qualities. se a soft brush or exfoliating glove to gently buff the area every 2-3 days – this is particularly important after about day 3 through to about the 10 day mark. It doesn’t need to be hard scrubbing, just a gentle exfoliation. Use a product like PFB to roll over the area after showering. This product contains lactic acid which helps ensure dead skin cells are buffed away allowing your hair back through the follicle opening.

Try to use oil-free makeup remover at all times. -To avoid irritation, do not rub or touch the eye or eyebrow area. -Don't spend too long in direct sunlight as this will weaken the perm effect and fade tint color. -Chlorine and certain skincare products will shorten the effects of the perm and tint.

CLEANSE - Gently removing any traces of dirt, creams, lotions, or oils that are found on the skin, while naturally numbing and preparing the skin to better absorb the following step. Contains spearmint to refresh, cool, and soothe the skin. EXFOLIATE - Prep, polish, and refine the skin with all natural AHAs to exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin, revealing a more even looking skin tone. Containing an antioxidant rich combination of known skin lightening ingredients also begin the brightening process. BRYGHTEN - Treat and prevent hyperpigmentation with this all-natural, unique combination of Indian gooseberry, licorice, lemon, mulberry, and bearberry leaf extracts to illuminate and reveal natural skin tone. These all natural ingredients penetrate deep down into the layers of the skin where the melanin is produced to inhibit tyrosinase enzyme production which is the enzyme responsible for skin discoloration. New skin cells coming to the surface will have less melanin resulting in continued professional skin brightening. SEAL - Concentrated finishing lotion will lock in and set Steps 1-3 while also soothing, hydrating, protecting, and cooling the skin. By keeping the skin temperature down, melanin production decreases, and the professional skin brightening has a longer lasting result.

Most hyperpigmentation that has occurred over time can be treated with bryght. melasma, chloasma, age spots, sunburns, stretch marks, acne, redness, irritation, scars and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation are just some of the types of hyperpigmentation that can be brightened by bryght.

It is highly advised to remove the hair prior to treatment, an open follicle will allow for deeper product absorption to see better results.

There are two ways to achieve brightening.  ​ For best results have the 4 step in spa professional treatment 1-2 times per week until desired results are achieved, then maintain the results at home by using the bryghtenup duo kit twice a day.  You can also use our bryghtenup duo kit at home to achieve brightening results or to maintain your results between professional services. 

Usually 1-3 shades lighter after the first professional treatment, but everyone is different. it is a natural product so you may need to allocate for time and commitment. Results usually shown 4-8 weeks of using the duo kit results at home will vary. Most people will notice significant changes with continued use. 

The all-natural formula will safely lighten the skin to a more even skin tone. You will not achieve any hypopigmentation, where the skin becomes lighter than the baseline skin color.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding – only since the results will not last while the hormones are heightened and cause more hyperpigmentation. for best results, use after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Using bryght in conjunction with hydroquinone, kojic acid or any other harsh chemical that have the ability to strip or over-lighten the skin.
