What is the downside to sugaring? ›

Requires Hair Growth: Sugaring requires a certain length of hair for effective removal. This means you may have to endure some regrowth between sessions. Temporary Results: Sugaring provides temporary results, typically lasting 2-4 weeks.

This method of body hair removal has become more popular over the last few years for good reason: It's all-natural, and often less invasive and less expensive than other common hair removal techniques. But, most importantly, research has shown it's effective.

Sugaring is effective at removing the hair by the root, leading to permanent hair reduction if you're consistent with it! It is also great for sensitive skin or anyone who has dealt with razor bumps, itchiness, or other adverse reactions to shaving or waxing.

Whatever level of hair removal you decide upon, it is now generally accepted that SUGARING is the answer for gentle hair removal, and especially for intimate areas and for those with sensitive skin.

Shaving between sugaring appointments disrupts this natural growth cycle. When you shave, you're merely cutting the hair at the surface of the skin, not removing it from the root. This can cause the hairs to grow back at different rates and stages, leading to a mismatch during your next sugaring session.

Keep in mind that sugaring is less effective but has a gentle pull, whereas waxing is highly effective but with a stronger pull.

To avoid irritation, keep the skin clean and free of harsh lotions or products for 24-48 hrs. Do not exercise immediately following treatment. No hot baths or showers for 24 hours following a body sugaring treatment. No abrasives or exfoliating for 48 hours following a sugaring treatment.

This entirely depends on your personal pain tolerance. For some people, all types of hair removal can be painful. For others, sugaring might not be painful at all. Sugaring is usually considered less painful than waxing because the mixture doesn't adhere to the skin.

Sometimes having oil, moisture and/or sweat on the skin makes it difficult for the sugar to properly stick to the hairs for it to be properly removed. Typically, the esthetician thoroughly cleanses and then preps the skin with powder to de-oil and keep the skin and hairs dry.

The ideal length for hair is about the size of a grain of rice, but if it's longer, it doesn't matter. If you're a shaver, you'll want to make sure you leave it to grow out for at least three weeks so there's enough hair for the sugar paste to adhere to.

Is laser hair removal better than sugaring? ›

With sugaring, many hairs get pulled out in small bursts. It's a painful sensation, but most find that it's a little more tolerable than waxing. Laser hair removal doesn't pull on the hair – it zaps it. The process is very quick, and each pulse of light feels like a small sting.

Although sugar waxing is gentler than waxing, it can still cause a small amount of trauma to the skin, which can result in inflammation. Sometimes, this may result in discoloration. People with darker skin tones are more likely than those with lighter skin to experience post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

An ingrown hair may appear about a week after sugaring. Ingrown hairs occur when the hair grows and reinserts itself into the hair follicle. Ingrown hairs can cause itchy and sometimes painful bumps that often look like pimples on the skin. Without treatment, ingrown hairs can become infected.

Typical hair growth is somewhere between 4-6 weeks. If your hair growth takes longer than that, talk with your sugarist and we can get you set up with an appointment schedule that best fits your hair growth. Some cycles of hair growth will return every 4-6 weeks, some every 1-4 months, and some every 6 years.

Sugar wax's most common side effects are temporary redness, irritation, and itching immediately after the sugaring session. However, if the skin is sensitive, sometimes, it could develop bumps or rashes wherever the paste is applied, but sugaring typically produces fewer side effects than waxing.

Sugaring has a profound effect on the hair follicle itself. Each sugaring session can weaken the hair follicle, leading to a gradual decrease in hair density. Over time, you'll find that there's less hair to remove, and the process becomes quicker and even less uncomfortable.

ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE OF SUGARING:

There is a risk in this method as sugar is believed to attract moisture very fast. When the atmospheric moisture is high in content, the yeast present in the environment starts its action and sugar starts fermenting into carbon-di-oxide and alcohol.

Ingrowns are usually caused when the tip of the hair either cannot break through the skin at all, or spirals back into the follicle and grows downward. Neither of these are common with sugaring, as the process fully removes the hair from the follicle – root and all.
