The mass is applied to a specific area of the skin and hairs are removed. In time, the procedure takes 20-25 minutes, depending on the amount of hair in this area and on the experience of the master, which is important. This is a rather painful method, but very effective, if you take care of the skin after shugaring, then the next time the session will seem more enjoyable.
After the procedure, the hair does not grow from two weeks to a month. With each subsequent procedure, it weakens, becomes thinner and lighter. If you do not remove the hair with the machine at all times, then after 6-7 sessions, hair growth may stop altogether.

Gently, without damaging the skin, pick up a loop with a needle and remove the hair. Treat the area with alcohol.
In order to remove pain during shugaring, you can take an anesthetic drug both externally and internally (for example, Ketonal) in half an hour. Before starting the procedure, you can walk on the skin with a piece of ice.
