Why You Need a Vajacial Add-On After Your Next Brazilian Wax
You’ve probably experienced a bikini or Brazilian wax at least once, and if you haven’t, you’ve come to the right place. We’re waxing specialists who know a thing or two about caring for the skin around your bikini and vulvar area, and if you’ve never had a vajacial, this is your sign to hop on our schedule!
What is a vajacial treatment?
A vajacial treatment is basically a facial for your vulva that includes the bikini and outer labia area. While the skin around your vulva and on your pubic bone is different from your facial skin, it's still thin and sensitive compared to the thicker skin around your body. It deserves the care, attention, and hydrating products, just like anywhere else!
What are the benefits of receiving a vajacial?
Vajacials are excellent when it comes to diminishing bumps, removing ingrown hairs, and preventing acne. Depending on the ingredients and customization of your vajacial treatment, there could be additives to help target specific concerns. Vajacials can include high frequency for ingrowns, or a hydrating jelly mask which aids in the reduction of swelling, dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Are there any contraindications for receiving the treatment?
In the realm of skincare, it’s always a plus to have a plethora of services for people who may have contraindications for a specific treatment. Talk with your esthetician during your session and they can help you brainstorm to find a treatment that best serves your skin’s needs while keeping you safe! Vajacials are incredibly customizable, so there’s sure to be options that address your personal skin concerns, no matter your skin type.
How long does a vajacial treatment take?
Your time is valuable, and making time to do a little self-care is a fantastic way to give yourself time to relax while boosting your confidence. Vajacials can typically take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the services you’ve added on, and whether or not you received a wax prior.
What to expect from the vajacial treatment process
It’s tough to know what to expect when you’re trying out a new treatment. Especially getting ready for your appointment to-do list and post-treatment care. The good news is that the vajacial experience is built to be restorative and relaxing. So give yourself a little space to unwind and let yourself be pampered for a change.
It’s best performed after a bikini or Brazilian wax but can be done anytime
After a Brazilian or bikini wax, your skin is freshly exfoliated, your pores are open and free of debris, ingrowns, and dead skin. This creates the perfect environment for reaping the benefits of a vajacial– allowing the delicious nutrients in the mask to seep deeply into your pores.
Steps to vajacial treatment
Your specialist will then cleanse the skin around your vulva, exfoliate with a gentle scrub or mask, and perform extractions if need be. Extractions include removing ingrown hairs or blocked pores which are easily removed with a small, sterile, noninvasive tool. Custom treatments agreed upon by you and your esthetician will also be performed as you relax. Your esthetician will then moisturize and hydrate the area to finish up, locking in beneficial ingredients from your treatment.
How to keep your pubic area healthy after an appointment
After your vajacial, you can cleanse the area like you normally would. If you’ve just recently been waxed, give your skin a few days to rest before incorporating your regular exfoliating schedule into your showers. Otherwise, be sure to wear loose, comfortable clothing and avoid heavy sweat and friction for about 24 hours after your session.
Follow your esthetician’s product recommendations after your session to continue achieving glowing, soft, healthy skin until your next appointment!
