How long does my hair need to be for waxing?

For best results, hair should be about the length of a grain of rice (approximately ¼ inch). This ensures the wax can properly grip the hair.

How long do waxing results last?

Most clients stay smooth for 3–4 weeks, depending on their hair growth cycle. With consistent waxing, hair often grows back finer and more sparse.

What should I do before my appointment?

Come with clean skin, avoid heavy lotions or oils, and gently exfoliate 24 hours prior to your appointment. Please discontinue the use of actives (retinol, vitamin C ext.) for 1 week prior to treatment.

What should I avoid after waxing?

Avoid hot baths, saunas, tanning, and intense workouts for 24 hours. Your skin may be slightly sensitive, so keeping it cool and clean is important.

Laser Hair Removal

Ditch the razor and try laser!

Free yourself from the hassle, mess and time spent removing hair traditionally with shaving or waxing that can leave ingrown hairs and razor burns, making the skin appear red, irritated, and irregular.

At YOUtopia Medical Spa our certified and experienced medical aestheticians provide efficient and highly effective laser hair removal using the Cynosure Icon laser system.

Shave within 24 hours of your laser appointment. This is an important step for any body part to ensure an efficient and pain-free experience. The area being treated must be cleansed thoroughly on the day of your appointment, but refrain from using deodorant, makeup or any lotions on the areas being treated. This is to ensure the laser is being penetrated well into the skin without any barriers. If mistakenly used, make sure to inform your medical aesthetician so they can take the necessary steps to cleanse the area before beginning the treatment. Stop hair removal methods besides shaving for a minimum of 2-4 weeks prior to beginning any laser treatment. Keep in mind that laser works by targeting the root of the hair, therefore it’s vital to avoid plucking, threading or waxing, chemical hair removal methods, and epilation in general. Once booked, you will be sent an intake form. Please fill out this form with your accurate medical history, as well as any current or past medications. Let your technician know if you are using, or have used any photosensitizing medications in the last 2 years.

Avoid the sun and tanning post treatment in order to avoid skin discolouration and increased skin sensitivity post treatment. It is recommended to avoid prolonged, direct sun exposure, self-tanning lotions, as well as tanning beds minimum 2 weeks before and following any laser hair removal treatment. Sunscreen is highly recommended to use daily after the treatment and continued use throughout the series of appointments. Your technician can help determine which SPF will be best suited for your skin type. For the first 24-48 hours following your appointment, avoid all forms of heat such as steam, sauna, hot shower/bath, hot tub, sweating, etc. Ice and aloe can be applied as needed following treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sugaring

Sugaring is a natural method of hair removal using a paste made from sugar, lemon, and water. It gently removes hair from the root.

Sugaring is more than just hair removal—it also gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells while lifting the hair from the root. This dual action helps reduce ingrown hairs and leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and refreshed.

Benefits:

Gentle on sensitive skin
Made from natural ingredients
Less irritation & redness
Removed hair from the root for longer-lasting results
Finer & softer regrowth
Leaves skin smooth & lightly exfoliated
Removes blonde / lighter hair that laser hair removal & IPL is unable to target

Sugaring removes hair in the natural direction of growth, helping to minimize breakage, irritation, and the occurrence of ingrown hairs. The sugar paste adheres only to dead skin cells and hair, rather than live skin, making it a gentler and often more comfortable alternative to traditional waxing.Sugaring is ideal for sensitive skin types. The natural ingredients and gentle technique help minimize redness, irritation, and post-treatment reactions.

Waxing

Waxing is a trusted, effective method of hair removal that delivers smooth, long-lasting results.

By removing hair directly from the root, this treatment leaves the skin soft and hair-free for weeks while helping to slow regrowth over time. With consistent treatments, many clients notice finer, softer hair and a more even, polished appearance.

At YOUtopia Medical Spa, we focus on both results and skin health. Using high-quality products and refined techniques, we aim to minimize discomfort and reduce irritation, making your experience as comfortable as possible.

Whether you’re maintaining a routine or preparing for a special event, waxing is a reliable way to achieve clean, confident, beautifully smooth skin.
