How long will it take for hair to grow back?

When waxing, the hair can take from 3-6 weeks to grow back depending on the person’s natural hair growth. With depilatory creams and foams, the results are similar to that of shaving and re-growth can be expected from 1-2 days. This is because chemical depilatories and shaving only remove hair from the surface of the skin whereas waxing removes hair from the root.

Will hair grow back darker?

No, hair will not grow back darker or thicker.

Can I use fake tan after waxing?

We advise waiting at least 8 hours after waxing to ensure your pores have closed properly leaving you with even tanning results.

Can I go sunbathing after waxing?

You should avoid sunbathing for 48 hours after waxing. Recently-waxed skin is prone to hyperpigmentaiton (permanent darkening of the skin) if exposed to the sun or to sun beds. We would advise against taking hot showers or using saunas and steam rooms immediately after waxing to reduce the risk of aggravating skin and causing infection.

How long will the waxing results last?

Silkia waxing strips last up to 6 weeks.

Do I have to do a patch test?

We recommend doing a patch test before every single use of Silkia depilatory products. The skin can become sensitised to hair removal products very suddenly and cause a reaction even if you have used them before.

Which areas can I use the cream on?

The Silkia Hair Removal Cream and Spray Foam are suitable for arms, legs and the bikini line.

Can I use the hair removal cream/ hair removal spray foam on my face?

No, as skin on the face is more sensitive this is not advised.
