Clients should be advised to take the following precautions for 24 hours after the treatment:

• Avoid all heat treatments, including sunbathing, sun-beds, steam baths and saunas.
• Avoid swimming in public pools, as chlorine may irritate the area that has been waxed.
• Do not apply perfumed soap, body lotion, talcum powder or deodorant to treated areas.
• Use lukewarm water when showering or bathing, as hot water can increase sensitivity and irritation. 
• Do not apply make-up to any treated area.
• Try to avoid touching any skin that has been waxed.
• Wear loose-fitting clothing, as the fibres from tight jeans or wool-mix fabrics may stick to any residual wax and cause discomfort.

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
• Rest: Take it easy for 24 hours, avoiding strenuous activity.
• Stay Warm: Keep muscles relaxed, and consider a warm bath.
• Eat Light: Choose nutritious meals over heavy foods.
• Listen to Your Body: Mild soreness is normal; use a cold compress if needed.
• Good Posture: Maintain posture to prevent tension from returning.
• Self-Care: Gentle stretching and regular sessions help prolong benefits.
