Epilation

It makes wonderfully soft and smooth skin
The hair system is gradually weakened by regular sessions
The new hair that grows is milder, clearer and becomes gradually finer
Regrowth is slower compared to other techniques of hair removal since the hair bulb is removed with the hair, allowing space out between hair removal for 3 to 5 weeks
The hair does not tend to grow under the skin as is the case when using a device that tears the hair
The thin layer of resin filled on the skin doesn’t involve any risk to the legs of persons with problems of venous insufficiency (varicose veins)
This waxing technique is perfectly hygienic

Disadvantages of other types of hair removal

Depilatory creams: these preparations contain a chemical compound that destroys the hair keratin. The hair is therefore simply separated from its root. Their effectiveness in depth is 1 millimeter below the skin's surface for a normal hair (0,3 to 0.5 mm per day) representing approximately 10 days before the hair has grown back completely. Frequently these creams are causing allergies and skin irritation.
Depilation by shaving (electric or with a razor blade): this has two major drawbacks. The effect is short-lived and should be repeated every 3 days. On the other hand, the hair becomes increasingly thick. Thus the legs are never smooth nor soft to touch.
Electrical devises that pull out the hair: this technique is very painful. In addition to that, the hair tends to grow back under the sebum stratum film of the skin.

Recommendations

To perform a hair removal the hair to be eliminate must have a length of at least 5 mm, except on the face where they can be removed even if they are shorter.
It is recommended not to expose oneself to the sun or to do a UV cabin session for 24 hours following the waxing has been done because the sebum stratum film of the skin. (thin film protecting the surface of the epidermis) is removed at the same time as the hair.
To facilitate the process, it is preferable not to apply cream or oil on the body before the epilation.
Never take a hot bath just before the hair removal.
When there are many ingrowing hairs, housed under upper layer of skin, it is recommended that you practice a peeling skin the day before the hair removal because this unveils the subcutaneous hair. Such a peeling can be done at your home or at Cocoon Wellness.
On sensitive skin types, a mild and transient irritation can be experienced after the hair removal, but it disappears very quickly.
Do not use deodorant containing alcohol after the hair removal.

Regrowth treatment

The 2B Epil Xcel treatment can be applied immediately after the epilation session.
Its goal is to slow down the speed of cell multiplication at the hair follicle to gradually lead to the disappearance of the follicle itself.
This method offers the advantage to be effective on all types of skins and all types of hair.
It is recommended to continue the treatment at home by applying the product every day on waxed areas.
