Elastic Wax & Laser Center

Ingrown hairs don’t start after waxing.

They start with what happens during the waxing process.

In this clip from our Skin Session, Cristina Oliveira shares one of the key techniques she uses to help reduce ingrown hairs and achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin.

✨ Proper wax application
✨ Complete hair removal
✨ Attention to skin health throughout the service

Small details make a big difference when it comes to preventing irritation, ingrown hairs, and uneven results.

Healthy skin isn’t just about removing hair—it’s about caring for the skin every step of the way.

Most people think waxing is all about the wax.

It’s not. Technique matters just as much.

In this clip, Cristina Oliveira shares two essential principles behind a safer, more comfortable waxing experience:

✨ Proper skin stretching to minimize discomfort and protect the skin.

✨ Using small, controlled strips for better precision and easier maneuverability.

And one non-negotiable rule:

🚫 Never double dip.

Proper hygiene isn’t optional, it’s part of professional waxing standards and client safety.

Small details make a big difference in your results and experience.

Would you trust a wax specialist who double dips? 👇

If you have dark spots in the bikini area, you’re not alone — and there are solutions. 🤍

I receive so many messages about this. And the first thing I always say is: it’s not your fault. It’s your skin’s response to irritation and inflammation.

Where do these dark spots come from?

→ Friction from tight clothing
→ Repeated shaving with a razor
→ Inflammation caused by ingrown hairs
→ Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (very common in melanin-rich skin)

What DOESN’T work:
Over-the-counter brightening creams. They usually treat only the surface while the underlying cause remains.

What actually works here at Elastic Wax:

💎 Vajacial with Intimate Peeling — exfoliates and helps improve the appearance of dark spots
💎 Epilfree — a non-laser treatment that helps reduce hair growth while improving skin tone
💎 Celluma Light Therapy — LED light therapy that supports skin regeneration and promotes a more even complexion

The first step: stop shaving. The second: come see me.

The question everyone asks me — answered once and for all. 👇

WAXING or LASER?

It depends on your goals. But here’s the simple version:

☑️ WAXING
→ Instant results
→ Works on all skin tones
→ Perfect if you want smooth skin right now
→ Great if you’re still exploring your options

☑️ LASER
→ Progressive, long-term hair reduction
→ Requires multiple sessions
→ Best to start in fall or winter (away from intense sun exposure)
→ A long-term investment in your skin

My personal recommendation for anyone asking during the summer:

Get waxed now. Schedule your laser treatments for September. Enjoy the rest of summer smooth and start planning for long-term results.
