FAQ

About the treatment

What is the situation and posture during the treatment?

If it's your first time, you may not know what to expect and may be feeling anxious. Please refer to the "Treatment Process" on this website! I'm sure it will ease your anxiety.

Should I cut my hair shorter?

The area to be treated with "wax hair removal" must have at least 1 cm of hair. Please come without any prior trimming or grooming. For
"AP Sugaring Hair Removal", we ask that you cut the hair to a length of about 5 to 7 mm in the area to be removed.
However, this may be difficult to do by yourself, so we have an additional cut fee option available, which will cost an additional 1,100 yen.

Is there anything I should be careful about before the treatment?

For "waxing hair removal," short hair that has been treated with a razor or tweezers does not easily get tangled in the wax and cannot be removed, so please come with hair at least 1cm long.
For "AP sugaring hair removal," there is no need to do it right before.
If it is right before your treatment, you can just come as is.
If the hair is too short, it may or may not be possible to remove it depending on the condition of your skin and pores.
However, if you continue sugaring, daily care is essential.
Do not shave, scrub, or tan before or after the treatment.

I'm reluctant to remove all of my hair

We will propose the most suitable design and method according to your request.
Please feel free to contact us for more details.

Can I have the treatment during my period?

We ask that you wear a tampon.
We would appreciate it if you could avoid canceling your appointment due to your period.

How often should I wax or sugar?

We recommend waxing once every 6-8 weeks. Waxing can affect important skin tissues due to heat, so it's best to wait at least a month before waxing. If the hair is too short, the hair that can't be removed with wax will have to be removed with tweezers.
Sugaring can remove even short hairs, so it's OK to do it as soon as every 2 weeks.
However, proper home care is essential! Please consult with an AP-certified sugarer for details.

I have the impression that wax hair removal is painful

It may hurt at first, but if you slowly remove the hair over time, the pain will be less.
It is a good idea to take a painkiller 30 minutes before the treatment. (Please use your own judgment.)
If you shave after waxing, it may be difficult to remove the hair the next time, or it may be more painful.
If you are going to wax every time, we recommend waxing.
Sugaring hair removal is a different type of pain than waxing, but most people say that it only hurts the first time, and the second and third times are not so painful.

Is there anything I should be careful about after the treatment?

After the treatment, your skin will be sensitive, so please avoid bathing, sports that cause sweating, tanning salons, and swimming.
Please only wash off sweat in the shower.
Also, please refrain from using razors or scrubs for 3 days after the treatment.

What if I get an ingrown hair?

For mild ingrown hairs, after a bath, when the skin is soft, gently rub with gauze or soft scrub cream to bring the hair out.
Alternatively, you can treat it with "sugaring hair removal" and AP mud, AP repair cream, or AP scrub. Please consult with an AP certified sugarist.
