From First Time to Regular: What to expect on your hair removal journey

Your first wax or sugar can feel intimidating, we get it. At Remedy Studio, we’ve helped countless clients go from nervous first-timers to confident regulars who actually look forward to their appointments.

Here’s what to expect, what’s normal, and how to make every session smoother (literally).

The First Visit: Getting Comfortable

If it’s your first wax or sugar, your skin might feel extra sensitive and your nerves might be high — totally normal. Our estheticians take time to walk you through every step, from prep to aftercare, so you always feel comfortable and in control.

You can expect:

• A quick consultation to discuss your goals, and sensitivities.

• Clean technique, professional products, and a nonjudgemental environment.

• Education about whether waxing or sugaring fits you best.

Understanding Hair Growth: Shaving vs. Waxing or Sugaring

If you’re used to shaving, your hair grows in uneven cycles: some short, some long, some brand-new under the surface. That’s why your first wax or sugar can feel a little inconsistent. You might notice some hairs stay behind or grow back sooner than others, and that’s totally normal.

Shaving cuts the hair blunt at the surface, so when it grows back it feels thicker and sharper. Waxing or sugaring, on the other hand, removes the hair from the root. But during your first visit, not every follicle is on the same schedule, which means some new growth may appear within a week or two as the cycles “sync up.”

* Think of it as a reset: it takes about 2–3 appointments for all the hair to grow on the same rhythm. Once it does, results last longer, feel smoother, and regrowth becomes finer.

Why Hair Breakage Happens After the First Visit

During that initial appointment, a little bit of hair breakage can occur, especially if you’ve been shaving regularly or your hair is very short or coarse. When the hair isn’t long enough to fully grip at the root, it can snap at the surface instead of being removed completely. pin point bleeding happens when the bulb or the root is removed, as time continues and waxing/sugaring is a normal routine this stops happening.

That’s why we recommend letting your hair grow at least a quarter-inch (roughly a grain of rice) before your service. Longer hair gives the wax or sugar paste a better hold, resulting in cleaner removal and longer-lasting smoothness.

Our estheticians are trained to minimize breakage with gentle techniques, clean prep, and calm pacing. Even if you experience a little uneven regrowth the first time, it’s part of the process, and it evens out beautifully by your second or third visit.

*The first appointment is about trust, not perfection. It’s the start of a longer journey to smoother, softer skin.

The Second Visit: Less Hair, Less Sensitivity

By your second session, your hair growth has already begun to sync with the removal cycle. Translation? It hurts less, grows back slower, and feels softer. as long as there was no shaving in-between visits And is scheduled within the 3-4 week regrowth!!!!!

You’ll notice:

• Finer regrowth (especially around 3–4 weeks).

• Fewer ingrown hairs (especially if you’re exfoliating).

• A smoother, cleaner finish that lasts longer.

This is the point where most clients realize how much easier consistent care feels compared to shaving.

The Third Visit and Beyond: Maintenance & Confidence

After your third visit, your body adjusts, your hair grows in the same direction, and your skin gets used to the process. Appointments become faster with way less pain.

At this stage:

• You’ll start to see less density and thickness overall.

• Most clients can go 4–5 weeks between visits.

• Your results last longer with each cycle.

This is where waxing or sugaring becomes part of your Remedy ritual, something you look forward to because you know how confident you’ll feel afterward.

The Remedy Difference

What makes our waxing and sugaring different isn’t just the products, it’s our approach. Every session includes:

• Clean technique and gentle products that protect your skin barrier.

• Education on exfoliation, hydration, and aftercare.

• Empathy and comfort: we never rush, we create space for you to relax. client safety is priority.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a loyal member, we want you to feel safe, supported, and celebrated in your own skin.

Brazilian Lymphatic our elevated experience

The lymphatic system is your body’s built-in detox network. moving fluid, fighting inflammation, and keeping you feeling light.

At Remedy Studio, our Elevated Brazilian Lymphatic takes it a step deeper. We combine traditional Brazilian techniques but pair it with dry brushing, OSEA’s Vagus Nerve Oil, and infrared light therapy to create a ritual that supports your body, mind, and glow from the inside out.

This isn’t just a massage, it’s a full-body reset.

1: OSEA Vagus Nerve Oil — Calming the Nervous System

Before each Treatment, We use OSEA’s Vagus Nerve Oil, a clean, ocean-inspired blend designed to calm your mind and reset your nervous system. breathing is a foundational tool to help encourage the flow of lymph.

When your body is relaxed, your lymphatic flow increases. The Vagus Nerve Oil helps activate the parasympathetic state, what we call rest, digest, and repair. You’ll feel your breath deepen, your body soften, and your mind begin to slow down. a gentle way to expedite the transition.

We believe true detox isn’t just physical, it’s energetic. That’s why every element of the Elevated Experience is designed to ground you back into yourself.

2: Dry Brushing — Stimulating the Flow

entrance of the body is important as we begin with gentle dry brushing to awaken circulation and prepare the lymphatic vessels.

This technique removes dull surface skin, boosts oxygen flow, and activates the lymph system so your body can release excess water and waste more effectively. The result? A brighter, smoother, more energized feeling before the hands-on work even begins.

Each brushstroke is intentional, rhythmic, directional, and aligned with your body’s natural flow.

3: Infrared Light Therapy — Healing from the Inside Out

we incorporate infrared light therapy, a gentle but Powerful tool, radiant heat that penetrates beneath the skin to enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and support lymphatic drainage.

It’s more than relaxation, it’s regeneration. Infrared light helps your cells absorb oxygen more efficiently and supports detoxification at a cellular level. Many clients describe this step as the moment they feel their “Remedy Reset” a wave of calm that leaves them lighter, sculpted, and deeply restored.

Why the Combination Works

Each layer of this experience is designed to enhance the next:

• OSEA calms the nervous system for deeper release.

• Dry brushing opens the pathways.

• Infrared light amplifies the detox and glow.

Together, they create a flow that continues long after you leave the table, helping your body flush inflammation, reduce bloating, and reveal a softer, sculpted silhouette.

This is more than a treatment. It’s a ritual of renewal.

Who It’s For

The Elevated Brazilian Lymphatic is ideal for:

• Post-travel or post-event recovery

• Bloating or inflammation

• Stress and fatigue

• Anyone ready to reconnect with their body

Whether you’re an athlete, a traveler, or someone simply craving reset, this flow helps you come home to yourself.

to be lighter, calmer, and deeply restored. Experience the Flow.

The Remedy Massage: What Makes it different from a regular massage

If you’ve ever walked out of a massage feeling like it was... fine, but something was missing, you’re not alone.
Too often, massages are treated like assembly-line experiences. A checklist of moves. A timer. A one-size-fits-all approach that forgets the most important part of the service: you.

At Remedy, we do things differently.
Our most requested service, the Remedy Massage, was designed to bring intention back into bodywork, to bridge the gap between relaxation, and results. It’s a massage built around your body, your story, and your goals.

1. Every Session Begins with Intention

Before we even begin, we ask: What does your body need today?
Some days, it’s recovery from training. Other days, it’s stress release. Sometimes, it’s both. We set an intention with you before the first touch, because intention shapes how we approach your body. your body is also ever changing. one day your foot might be sore, the next it’s your neck. or some of you may be on a Maintenance Schedule, but suddenly another area of your body is in need, and we need to redirect some of the Focus else where.

2. We Don’t Follow a Script

There’s no “cookie-cutter” flow here. no
Our therapists are trained to read your body, to listen through touch, and to adapt in real time. Each therapist follows the Remedy standard: specific techniques and signature movements that define our service. but how it comes together depends on you. No two Remedy Massages ever look the same, because no two clients are the same. there’s nothing you won’t get from one Therapist that you wouldn’t get from another therapist. all therapists are trained in all the same modalities.

3. It’s Where Technique Meets Intuition

Our approach blends therapeutic and relaxation techniques, creating a flow that feels restorative and transformative. Whether it’s focused work on chronic tension or slow, intentional strokes to reset the nervous system, we meet your body where it’s at. It’s not about pushing harder, it’s about working smarter with what your body tells us. less is more in some cases.

4. The Remedy Standard

Every therapist at Remedy commits to a shared foundation of excellence. from flow, communication, and professionalism, to understanding anatomy and energy. But beyond that foundation, we give our team the space to bring their artistry and intuition forward. That’s what makes each session deeply personal, yet undeniably Remedy.

5. The Result

Clients often describe the Remedy Massage as feeling “different.” Not just physically, but emotionally and energetically. You leave feeling seen, heard, and balanced, like your body and mind are finally on the same page again.

Therapeutic or relaxing, every Remedy Massage starts with one question: What do you need today?
Because at Remedy, we believe healing isn’t a formula, it’s a feeling.

OSEA + Hawaii: The Perfect Skincare for Life in the Sun

Living in Hawaii means sunshine, salt water, and outdoor living, but it also means extra care for your skin. Constant sun exposure, ocean dips, and trade winds can leave skin dehydrated, sun-stressed, and in need of serious repair. That’s why we love OSEA at Remedy. Inspired by the ocean and made with clean, hydrating ingredients, OSEA is the perfect fit for island life.

✨ Why Sun + Salt Stress the Skin

• Dehydration: UV exposure + salt water pull moisture from the skin.

• Oxidative Stress: Sunlight creates free radicals that break down collagen, leading to premature aging.

• Barrier Damage: Wind, sweat, and environmental stressors strip the skin’s protective barrier.

• Pigmentation: UV exposure triggers dark spots and uneven tone.

✨ How OSEA Helps Repair & Protect

1. Seaweed Power
OSEA’s foundation ingredient — seaweed — is rich in minerals and antioxidants. It helps remineralize skin, replenish hydration, and fight oxidative stress from the sun.

2. Deep Hydration
Formulas like the Hyaluronic Sea Serum and Sea Minerals Mist restore moisture balance, keeping skin plump and refreshed even after a beach day.

3. Barrier Support
Plant oils (like jojoba + sesame) strengthen the skin barrier so it can handle daily sun + salt exposure without irritation.

4. Anti-Aging Protection
OSEA products are loaded with antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, helping prevent collagen breakdown and fine lines caused by UV damage.

✨ Our OSEA Picks for Sun Lovers

• Ocean Cleanser: Gentle cleanse without stripping after salt water + sweat.

• Sea Minerals Mist: Instant refresh + hydration boost.

• Hyaluronic Sea Serum: Quenches thirsty, sun-stressed skin.

• Atmosphere Protection Cream: Lightweight daily moisturizer with antioxidant protection.

• Undaria Algae Body Oil: Restores glow + hydration after sun and salt.

Flower Steam: What It Is and Why We Love It

There’s something magical about starting a facial with warm steam infused with flowers. At Remedy, our flower steam isn’t just about relaxation, it’s a therapeutic step that preps your skin, calms your mind, and elevates your entire facial experience. Here’s what it does, why it helps, and what we include in ours. Where details matter, and why every step is intentional.

✨ What Is our Botanical Flower Steam?

Flower steam is a gentle stream of warm, hydrated air infused with botanicals. It’s designed to:

• Open pores

• Loosen buildup and congestion

• Hydrate skin

• Prepare the face for cleansing and extractions

The addition of flowers makes it both therapeutic and sensory, adding benefits beyond basic steam.

✨ Benefits of Flower Steam

1. Preps Skin for Treatment
Warm steam softens the outer layer of skin and opens pores, making cleansing and extractions more effective.

2. Boosts Circulation
Steam increases blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin for a natural glow.

3. Hydration Support
Steam helps skin absorb serums and masques more deeply during your facial.

4. Relaxation + Aromatherapy
Flower infusions release subtle scents that calm the nervous system, setting the tone for rest and reset.

5. Gentle Detox
Encourages the skin to purge impurities in a non-invasive way.

✨ What’s in Remedy’s Flower Steam

We blend botanicals designed for both skin and spirit:

• Chamomile → calming, anti-inflammatory, perfect for sensitive skin.

• Rose → hydrates and soothes while promoting a radiant glow.

• Lavender → calming, antibacterial, and stress-relieving.

• Calendula → healing, reduces redness and irritation.

• Jasmine → softening, antioxidant protection, and anti-inflammatory

• Rosemary →circulation boost, astringent effect, and antimicrobial benefits

Our acne treatments: explained

Acne is one of the most common skin concerns we see at Remedy and it’s not just a teenage thing. Stress, hormones, lifestyle, and even product choices all play a role. The good news? Acne is treatable. A proven system that combines professional treatments with customized at-home care. Here’s what really causes breakouts and how your esthie bestie can help clear your skin.

✨ What Causes Acne?

1. Excess Oil Production
Overactive sebaceous glands clog pores.

2. Dead Skin Build-Up
Skin cells shed irregularly, creating blockages.

3. Bacteria
C. acnes bacteria thrive in clogged pores, leading to inflammation.

4. Hormones & Stress
Hormonal fluctuations + stress spikes can trigger acne flare-ups.

5. Lifestyle Factors
Diet, sleep, makeup, everyday use products, and sweat can all contribute.

✨What to expect?

• Personalized Plans: No two acne cases are the same. We customize your treatment + home routine to your unique skin.

• Professional-Grade Products: Acne-safe, non-comedogenic, and tested for real results.

• Accountability & Coaching: Clear skin takes consistency, we walk with you every step of the way.

• Proven Results: Thousands of success stories nationwide (and right here at Remedy).

✨ Professional Treatments at Remedy

• Acne Facials: Deep cleansing, extractions, and calming masks to reduce inflammation.

• Chemical Peels (if skin is ready): Controlled exfoliation to improve cell turnover.

• LED Light Therapy: Targets acne-causing bacteria and speeds healing.

• Progress Tracking: We monitor your skin over time to adjust your plan.

✨ At-Home Routine

What you do at home makes or breaks your results. A Face Reality regimen usually includes:

1. Gentle Cleanser – Balances without stripping.

2. Targeted Treatment – Ingredients like mandelic acid or benzoyl peroxide (prescribed based on your skin type).

3. Moisturizer – Yes, acne-prone skin still needs hydration.

4. SPF – Protects against dark spots and scarring.

5. Lifestyle Guidance – Diet, stress, and product swaps that support healing.

✨ Why You Need Both: Professional + Home Care

Facials and treatments clear pores and calm inflammation. Daily Face Reality home care keeps skin on track between visits. Together, they create long-term results , not just temporary fixes.

Professional Facial vs. At-Home Routine: Why You Need Both

One of the biggest questions we get at Remedy is: “If I have a good skincare routine at home, do I really need professional facials?” The truth is yes, and vice versa. Professional facials and at-home routines aren’t meant to replace each other. They work hand in hand to give you glowing, healthy skin. Here’s why both matter.

✨ Why Professional Facials Matter

1. Deeper Cleansing
At home, your cleanser does a lot, but professional facials use steam, exfoliation, and tools (like scrubbers or extractions) to clear buildup you can’t reach yourself.

2. Customized Treatments
Your skin changes with seasons, stress, and lifestyle. A professional esthetician can analyze your skin in real time and adjust products or techniques to what you actually need.

3. Advanced Tools & Products
From scrubbers to masques, and professional-grade serums, facials go deeper than anything over-the-counter. They’re designed for results you can’t replicate at home.

4. Relaxation + Reset
A facial isn’t just skincare, it’s a nervous system reset. At Remedy, our facials include massage and hot towels, helping your whole body relax while your skin renews.

✨ Why At-Home Routines Matter

1. Consistency Is Everything
What you do daily matters more than what you do once a month. A simple routine (cleanse, treat, hydrate, protect) keeps your results going.

2. Barrier Support
Daily moisturizers, serums, and SPF maintain the skin’s protective barrier so treatments last longer.

3. Prevention
Facials correct, at-home routines prevent. Daily care helps minimize issues like breakouts, dullness, or dryness before they start.

✨ Why You Need Both

Think of it like the gym:

• Facials = personal training sessions → targeted, corrective, results-driven.

• At-home care = your daily workouts → maintain progress and prevent setbacks.

Without facials, your routine only goes surface-deep. Without at-home care, your facial results fade quickly. Together, they give you long-term, glowing skin.

Infrared light, cupping, scraping

At Remedy, we offer a variety of tools to enhance your massage experience. Three of the most popular are infrared therapy, cupping, and scraping. They all support circulation, healing, and tension release, but in different ways. If you’ve ever wondered which one is right for you, here’s your guide.

✨ Infrared Therapy

• What It Is: Uses invisible light waves to warm tissues from the inside out.

• How It Feels: Gentle, soothing heat that penetrates deeper than a heating pad.

• Benefits: Improves circulation, speeds muscle recovery, supports detox, boosts skin glow, and calms the nervous system.
  👉 Best For: Overall relaxation, muscle recovery, skin radiance, and stress relief.

✨ Cupping

• What It Is: Suction cups placed on the skin to create negative pressure. We use silicone or plastic cups for safe, controlled results.

• How It Feels: A pulling, stretching sensation. Sometimes leaves temporary marks (not bruises, but signs of stagnation release).

• Benefits: Increases blood flow, loosens fascia, reduces muscle tension, and supports detox.
  👉 Best For: Tight, overused muscles, stagnant areas, clients who like deeper therapeutic work.

✨ Scraping (Gua Sha)

• What It Is: A flat tool is used to gently “scrape” the skin’s surface, breaking up fascial adhesions and improving circulation.

• How It Feels: Firm strokes, can feel intense but deeply relieving. May cause temporary redness (a normal sign of circulation).

• Benefits: Releases tension, improves mobility, reduces fascial restrictions, and speeds recovery in sore areas.
  👉 Best For: Chronic tension, fascia tightness, athletes, and areas where stretching alone isn’t enough.

The Vagus Nerve| Why It Matters + How Vagus Nerve Oil Helps You Relax

You’ve probably heard the phrase “mind-body connection,” but did you know there’s an actual nerve that makes it happen? It’s called the vagus nerve, and it’s responsible for calming stress, improving digestion, and putting you into that blissful rest-and-digest state. At Remedy, we love working with the vagus nerve during our R+R treatments, and one of our favorite tools is the OSEA Vagus Nerve Oil. Here’s why it’s such a game-changer.

✨ What Is the Vagus Nerve?

• It’s the longest cranial nerve in your body.

• Runs from your brain down to your gut, touching the heart, lungs, and digestive organs along the way.

• Acts like the “off switch” for stress, signaling your body to calm down.

When activated, it slows heart rate, lowers blood pressure, eases anxiety, and boosts digestion.

✨ Why Supporting the Vagus Nerve Matters

Modern life = constant stress. If your vagus nerve is underactive, you may feel stuck in “fight or flight,” leading to tension, poor sleep, gut issues, or even burnout. Stimulating the vagus nerve is like giving your nervous system a reset button.

✨ OSEA’s Vagus Nerve Oil

• A soothing blend of chamomile, juniper, and jojoba oils designed to activate the vagus nerve through gentle touch and aroma.

• When massaged into the neck, chest, or scalp, it helps signal the body to shift into relaxation.

• The calming scent also doubles as aromatherapy, grounding your mind as your body unwinds.

✨ How We Use It at Remedy (R+R Cranial Therapy)

During our R+R service, we apply OSEA Vagus Nerve Oil with intention:

1. Guided deep breaths so you inhale the calming aroma.

2. Application to the sides of the neck (near the SCM), chest, and scalp.

3. Gentle cranial massage to melt tension and activate the vagus nerve.

The result? A deep sense of calm, nervous system reset, and that floaty, blissed-out Remedy glow.

✨ How to Support Your Vagus Nerve at Home

Even outside the treatment room, you can tone your vagus nerve with daily rituals:

• Deep belly breathing

• Cold water rinses

• Humming or singing (yes, sound stimulates it!)

• Gentle self-massage with OSEA Vagus Nerve Oil

• Don’t apply to the face as it has pore clogging ingredients

Best massage to pick

At Remedy, we offer different massage experiences because your body’s needs aren’t always the same. Sometimes you want deep therapeutic work, sometimes you need pure relaxation, and sometimes you need focused relief from pain. Here’s how to know which service is right for you.

✨ The Remedy (Our Signature Massage)

Best For: A balanced, customized session

• Our signature massage blends detailed bodywork with relaxation.

• Includes techniques like cross-fiber friction, cupping (optional), stretching, and trigger point therapy.

• The goal: create warmth, blood flow, and release while still allowing you to relax.

✨ Choose this if you want a mix of relaxation and therapeutic techniques customized to your body.

✨ Remedy’s Relaxation

Best For: Stress relief + a spa-like experience

• A gentler flow that prioritizes relaxation over therapeutic depth.

• May include enhancements like dry brushing, a back masque, hot towels, and foot scrubs.

• Designed to put you in a rest-and-digest state so your nervous system can reset.

✨ Choose this if you want to unwind, de-stress, and leave feeling light, calm, and pampered.

✨ Remedy’s Relief

Best For: Targeted pain or problem areas

• Focused therapeutic bodywork for clients with chronic tension, injuries, or specific pain points.

• Uses advanced techniques (stretching, trigger point therapy, mobilization) to improve function and relieve discomfort.

• More goal-oriented than flow-oriented.

✨ Choose this if you’re coming in with a specific issue you want addressed, like neck pain, low back tension, or postural imbalances.

For balance → The Remedy

For stress → Remedy’s Relaxation

For pain relief → Remedy’s Relief

How to prepare for your first massage

Booking your first massage can feel exciting and maybe even a little intimidating if you don’t know what to expect. At Remedy, our goal is to make your session feel comfortable, safe, and deeply restorative. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for your first massage so you can relax and enjoy every moment.

1. Hydrate Before (and After)

Drink water before your massage to keep your muscles and tissues hydrated. After your session, hydration also helps flush out waste products released during bodywork.

2. Eat Light

Have a small meal or snack an hour or two before. Avoid heavy or greasy foods right before your appointment, as lying on the table with a full stomach can be uncomfortable.

3. Arrive a Few Minutes Early

This gives you time to fill out intake forms, use the restroom, and settle in without rushing. A calm start sets the tone for the whole session.

4. Communicate With Your Therapist

Share any areas of tension, injuries, or medical conditions during your consultation. Don’t be shy, your therapist is here to customize the massage for your needs.

5. Dress Comfortably

Wear loose-fitting clothes that are easy to change in and out of. For most massages, you’ll undress to your comfort level and you’ll always be draped with a sheet or towel for privacy.

6. Skip Lotions or Oils

Avoid heavy lotions or oils before your appointment, as they can make your skin slippery and affect the massage techniques.

7. Breathe and Relax

If you’re nervous, focus on slow, deep breaths to help your body unwind. You don’t need to “do” anything during the massage, just allow yourself to receive.

sugaring vs waxing | key differences

If you’re deciding between sugaring and waxing, you’re not alone it’s one of the most common questions we get at Remedy. Both are great for smooth, long-lasting hair removal, but they aren’t the same. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences so you know which one might be right for you.

1. Ingredients

• Sugaring: Made from sugar, lemon, and water: all-natural, biodegradable, and gentle on the skin.

• Waxing: Usually resin, or honey-based. Not always 100% natural, but still effective.

2. Application

• Sugaring: Applied against the direction of hair growth, then removed with the direction.

• Waxing: Applied with the direction of hair growth, removed against it.

3. Temperature

• Sugaring: Room temperature or slightly warmed by hand.

• Waxing: Heated in a pot before application.

4. Pain Level

• Sugaring: Many clients find it gentler because it only sticks to the hair, not live skin cells.

• Waxing: Grips both hair + skin, which can feel more intense.

5. Clean-Up

• Sugaring: Water-soluble — wipes away with warm water, no residue.

• Waxing: Needs oil or remover to clean leftover wax.

6. Regrowth Over Time

• Sugaring: Can lead to finer, sparser hair with consistent treatments.

• Waxing: Also thins hair over time

So, which is better? It depends on your skin type, pain tolerance, and personal preference. At Remedy, we offer both sugaring and waxing so you can choose what feels best for your body. The goal is always the same: smooth, glowing skin and a comfortable experience. ✨

Ingrown Hair Prevention: Tips + Products That Actually Work

Ingrown hairs are one of the most common frustrations after waxing or sugaring. They happen when hair curls back into the skin, causing bumps, irritation, or even infection. The good news? With the right care and products, they’re totally preventable. At Remedy, we recommend pairing good habits with targeted products like Fur and Bushbalm to keep your skin smooth and bump-free.

✨ Daily Habits for Ingrown Prevention

1. Exfoliate Consistently
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells that trap new hairs. Use a gentle sugar scrub, dry brush, or exfoliating glove 2–3x per week.

2. Stay Hydrated
Dry skin tightens around hair follicles, making ingrowns more likely. Drink water and moisturize daily to keep skin soft and flexible.

3. Avoid Tight Clothing Post-Service
Friction can push hairs back into the skin. Opt for breathable fabrics right after waxing or sugaring.

✨ Products We Recommend

Fur Ingrown Concentrate

• A lightweight oil with tea tree + tamanu oil.

• Helps reduce bumps, redness, and irritation.

• Great for daily use, especially on bikini line + underarms.

Bushbalm Ingrown hair oil

• Hydrating oils made for post-wax/sugar.

• Prevents irritation and softens hair regrowth.

• Pairs well with their exfoliating scrubs for a full routine.

Fur Oil (Multi-Use)

• Safe for pubic hair, underarms, legs, chest, and more.

• Softens hair + clears pores to prevent ingrowns.

• Bonus: clean, vegan, and gynecologist tested.

✨ Aftercare Routine Example (Client-Friendly)

1. Day 1–2 (Immediately After Service): Skip exfoliation, just soothe with aloe or gentle hydration.

2. Day 3 Onward: Start gentle exfoliation 2–3x/week.

3. Daily: Apply Fur Oil or Bushbalm Oil to keep skin soft and hair from curling back in.

4. Ongoing: Moisturize and avoid picking at bumps (it makes them worse).

Pre + Post Wax tips

Waxing and sugaring are amazing for smooth, long-lasting results, but the way you prep and care for your skin makes all the difference. At Remedy, we want your service to feel comfortable, effective, and irritation-free. Here’s your easy before + after guide.

✨ Before Your Appointment

Exfoliate Gently
Use a mild scrub or exfoliating glove 24–48 hours before to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.

Skip Moisturizers & Deodorant
On the day of your appointment, keep the area clean and dry. Lotions, oils, or deodorants can stop the wax or sugar from adhering properly.

Hair Length Matters
For the best results, hair should be about ¼–½ inch long (think the size of a grain of rice). Too short, and the wax won’t grab; too long, and it may be more uncomfortable.

Stay Hydrated
Drinking water helps skin stay resilient and less sensitive during your service.

Avoid Caffeine & Alcohol
Both can make skin more reactive. Skip them before your appointment to keep sensitivity low.

✨ After Your Appointment

Soothe the Skin
Apply aloe vera, witch hazel, or a fragrance-free moisturizer to calm redness and irritation.

Avoid Heat & Sweat
Skip hot showers, saunas, workouts, and sun exposure for at least 24 hours. Open pores are more prone to irritation and bacteria.

Wear Loose Clothing
Breathable fabrics (like cotton) prevent friction that can cause breakouts or ingrowns.

Skip Deodorant for 24 Hours
Avoid deodorant right after underarm waxing/sugaring. It can clog pores and sting. Aloe vera gel can be a natural alternative.

Exfoliate Regularly
After 48 hours, gently exfoliate every 2–3 days with a sugar scrub, dry brush, or mild cloth to keep ingrowns away.

Moisturize Daily
Light, non-comedogenic lotion will keep your skin smooth and hydrated between visits.

Morning + Night routines for lymphatic drainage support

🌞 Morning Routine

1. Tongue Scraping
Start your day by scraping your tongue. This removes overnight buildup and signals your digestive + detox systems to wake up.

2. Room temp Water with Lemon
Hydration first thing helps “flush” your system and supports lymph movement. Adding lemon boosts digestion and alkalinity.

3. Dry Brushing Before Shower (either in am or pm)
2–3 minutes of light strokes toward your heart stimulates lymph flow, exfoliates, and energizes your skin.

4. Movement to Wake the Body
A walk, light yoga, or a few minutes of stretching is enough to get muscles pumping lymph. Your lymph doesn’t move on its own, it moves when you do.

5. Breathwork Reset
Even 3–5 deep belly breaths help your diaphragm act as a natural lymph pump, oxygenating your body and calming stress hormones.

🌙 Night Routine for Lymphatic Reset

1. Legs Up the Wall
5–10 minutes with your legs elevated helps drain fluid from the lower body, reducing swelling and calming the nervous system.

2. Gentle Self-Massage or Gua Sha
Use light strokes on your face or abdomen, always working toward lymph nodes. Keep it relaxing, not forceful.

3. No blue lights
Red bulb or red light next to bed, night shift lightning on instead of blue light on electronics.

4. Herbal Tea Hydration
Swap late-night alcohol or soda for an herbal tea (like chamomile, ginger, or dandelion root). It supports digestion + gentle detox while winding you down.

5. Prioritize Deep Sleep
Your lymphatic system (the brain’s lymphatic system) is most active during deep sleep, clearing toxins and resetting your nervous system. Aim for 7–9 hours, device-free before bed.

Getting the Most Out of Your Brazilian Lymphatic Massage: How Lifestyle Affects Results

A Brazilian lymphatic massage can leave you feeling lighter, less bloated, and glowing, but did you know your lifestyle has a big impact on how long those results last? At Remedy, we like to say your body is our partner: what you do outside the treatment room makes all the difference inside it. Here’s how your daily habits affect results (and how to make them last).

1. Hydration = Longer-Lasting Glow

Lymph is 95% water, so staying hydrated before and after your session is key. If you’re dehydrated, the system slows down, and so will your results. Carry that water bottle everywhere.

2. Diet Plays a Role

High-salt, processed foods make you retain water, which works against your drainage session. A balanced diet with plenty of fresh produce, lean proteins, and healthy fats keeps your lymph flowing more efficiently.

3. Movement Matters

The lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump, it relies on muscle movement and breath. That means the more you move, the better your results stick. Walking, yoga, and stretching all help keep things flowing after your massage.

4. Stress Can Stall Progress

Stress locks the body into “fight or flight,” which slows down digestion, detox, and lymph flow. Pair your sessions with relaxation practices: deep breathing, meditation, or even just a mindful walk, to keep your system in balance.

5. Sleep Supports Detox

Most of your body’s detox processes (including the glymphatic system in your brain) happen during deep sleep. Poor sleep = sluggish detox, no matter how good your massage was. Prioritize 7–9 hours and earlier rest.

6. Consistency Is Key

One session can do wonders, but a series of sessions plus healthy daily habits create the biggest changes. Think of lymphatic massage as a reset button — your lifestyle determines how long that reset lasts.

How to Prepare for Your Brazilian Lymphatic Massage

So you booked your very first (or not) Brazilian lymphatic massage, amazing choice! Whether you’re looking for detox, sculpting, or that “light-as-air” feeling, prepping before your appointment makes all the difference. At Remedy, we want you to walk in relaxed and ready so you get the absolute best results. Here’s what to know before your session.

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

The lymphatic system moves fluid, and water is your best friend here. Aim to drink plenty of water the day before and the day of your appointment. Think of it as priming your body so the lymph can flow more freely.

2. Skip Heavy Meals Beforehand

Come with a light stomach. Eating a heavy or greasy meal right before can make you feel sluggish or uncomfortable on the table. A small, balanced snack (like fruit or protein) a couple of hours before is perfect.

3. Wear Comfortable Clothing

Loose, comfortable clothing (think flowy dress, joggers, or soft shorts) makes it easier for your body to adjust post-treatment.

4. Limit Alcohol/Caffeine + Salt 24 Hours Before

Both alcohol and Caffeine can cause fluid retention. Why? Both dehydrate the body, so if you’re not drinking enough water your body naturally wants to retain hydration. Too much of the wrong salt (hidden salts like shoyu aka soy sauce for your rice, MSG in your instant ramen etc.) works against the goal of your lymphatic massage. Keep it clean the day before for best results.

5. Know What to Expect

Brazilian lymphatic massage isn’t deep tissue. It’s a gentle, rhythmic technique that encourages lymph flow, reduces bloating, and supports detox. You’ll feel lighter, less puffy, and often see visible results in your waistline and midsection.

6. Plan for Aftercare

• Keep hydrating post-session.

• Avoid alcohol, caffeine, heavy meals, and excessive heat for the rest of the day.

• Give your body time to rest , don’t schedule a crazy workout right after.
