Waxing Treatments at True Medispa

We use two types of wax at True Medispa, Tea Tree for large areas and Hot Lycon for small areas and intimate waxing.

Tea Tree

Tea Tree is a high quality antiseptic wax which is particularly good for more sensitive skin types.

Hot Lycon

This wax uses resins, natural ingredients and aromatherapy oils to remove stubborn hair as short as 1mm (1/16”). We are also a leading Lycon waxing salon. This revolutionary, virtually pain-free waxing system was introduced to the UK in 2005 and started an immediate media frenzy as stars such as Sienna Miller, Victoria Beckham and Claudia Schiffer became firm fans.

Lycon offers a variety of waxes and oils to suit the needs of your skin and hair type. The wax shrink-wraps around the hair and doesn’t stick to the skin. When the wax is removed it pulls from the very roof of the hair follicle, preventing hair breakage, ingrown hairs and the painful sting you can experience with other kinds of wax.

The Benefits of Waxing

Waxing is a safe and reliable way of removing body hair. Unlike shaving, waxing can keep unwanted body hair away for up to 6 weeks. By adding waxing to your beauty regime, you will make your skin glow with radiance while feeling smooth, fresh and clean.

The benefits

Smooth and even skin. One of the best benefits of waxing is that your skin will feel smooth and even. When waxing, you not only remove unwanted hair, you also wax away any dry and dead skin cells in the process.
No cuts or bruises. With waxing, you aren’t at risk to any cuts or nicks that can leave you with scars. This is good news, especially for those who have skin that is susceptible to discoloration due to even the slightest cut.
Stubble free skin. Waxing removes unwanted hair completely, from its roots. Shaving, on the other hand, often results in stubble, leaving your skin feeling rough and abrasive.

The Benefits of Waxing - continued

Irritation and allergy-free. There are minimal chemicals involved in the waxing process, so rarely does waxing cause any skin irritation or allergic reaction.
Slow hair re-growth. After waxing, the regrowth of your hair is very slow, taking between 4 to 6 weeks to regrow. And the hair is often finer, after the regrowth.

Here are some of our tips for before and after your waxing treatment:

Exfoliate on the day before your appointment.
Don’t apply body lotion on the day of your appointment.
Use a deodorant without antiperspirant if you are having an underarm wax as the hair will be easier to take off.
Avoid any hot treatments for 24 hours post-waxing (bath, sauna, steamer, tanning bed).
