Sugaring – Frequently Asked Questions

What if I have eczema or psoriasis?

Sugaring is suitable for all skin types, even those suffering from eczema and psoriasis. In fact there is some medical evidence to show that it may improve these conditions by removing the top layer of dead skin and hence promote healing of the skin underneath.


Why is sugaring more effective than other methods of hair removal?

The hairs grow back softer sparser and lighter in colour, and with continued treatments hair growth will eventually cease altogether. This is because each hair follicle is programmed to produce a certain number of hairs in its life time. By removing the hair from the root, while it is still in its growing phase, you stimulate the follicle to start producing its next hair more quickly than it would have done had you waited for the hair to be shed naturally. The follicle then gets through its programmed number of hairs more quickly, after which it will cease to produce hair.


Are there any contra-indications to sugaring?

Yes one or two: 

• If you have unregulated diabetes you are not able to have sugaring.

• If you have varicose veins then you cannot have your legs sugared but you can still use it for facial hair, under arms and bikini line

• If you have had surgery you need to wait at least 8 months to allow the scar tissue to heal both internally and externally

• If you have any contagious skin problems such as ring worm, folliclitis, warts etc then you will not be able to have those areas sugared
