What can clients apply to reduce inflammation after waxing?

After waxing, clients often experience skin irritation or inflammation, and applying a cold compress is beneficial in this context. Cold compresses work by constricting blood vessels and reducing swelling, irritation, and any potential redness that may arise post-treatment. The soothing effect of the cold can also provide immediate comfort to the skin, alleviating any burning sensations that might occur after waxing.

Using cold compresses is a widely recommended practice in post-waxing care because they effectively calm the skin and minimize discomfort. Other options, while they may have their benefits, do not provide the same immediate cooling and anti-inflammatory effects as cold compresses. For instance, hot compresses may aggravate inflammation, and while aloe vera gel and moisturizing lotion can help in hydration and soothing, they do not offer the same immediate relief from swelling as cold therapy does.
