Frequently Asked Questions
For body waxing or bikini wax services, you’ll want to wait until your hair is about ¼ of an inch long before scheduling your appointment. For some, that may mean waiting for that hair to grow for a few weeks. You’ll thank us when you leave your appointment smooth, with little irritation.
Of course! Body waxing in Orange County is popular with both men and women. Men want smooth skin, too, and help with those hard-to-reach spots that could use some grooming.
Your appointment is customizable. You’ll talk with one of our professionals about areas of the body you’d like to target and smooth, and we’ll make it happen.
Before making your appointment, you’ll get some tips on how to help the process go smoothly and with less discomfort. That includes tips on how to treat your skin ahead of your appointment. Our pre-treatment instructions below give you a primer on what to expect.
How painful your body waxing will be really depends on your tolerance for discomfort. Talk to your provider if you’re worried about pain during your appointment. They may recommend an over-the-counter pain reliever the day of your treatment or a numbing cream the day of.
Some areas of the skin are more sensitive than others, too. The best way to avoid discomfort during and after your treatment is to make sure you’re only booking with a professional who is skilled in body waxing. Our providers at the Med Lounge know how to make sure your treatment is efficient, effective and as comfortable for you as possible.
You may experience some redness after your waxing appointment. For most, that redness goes away within a few hours after your service. Your provider will offer suggestions on exfoliating the area after your treatment, a key component in avoiding ingrown hairs.
If this is your first body waxing service, expect hair to start growing back in 3-4 weeks after your treatment. After multiple treatments, most begin to notice their hair growing back lighter and thinner, resulting in fewer appointments needed and less noticeable hair.

What to Expect With Body Waxing
For the best results and to reduce the chance of any side effects after your treatment, our experts at the Med Lounge have a few tips around what to expect with your body waxing in Ladera Ranch before and after your procedure.
PRE-TREATMENT
- Take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen about 20 minutes before your waxing appointment.
- Female clients who are extra skin sensitive around their monthly cycles should schedule their service two weeks after their cycle.
- Harsh skin cleansers and treatments that include salicylic or glycolic acid and anti-aging treatments that include retinol or Retin-A may cause adverse reactions on your skin post-waxing. Talk to your provider if you’re on a regular skin care regimen to prevent any skin lifting or excessive redness.
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the days ahead of your appointment. Both can make your skin more sensitive and increase redness.
- Avoid perfumes, body scrubs and other exfoliants the day of your service that may leave your skin sensitive.
- If you’re not already shaving or trimming an area you’re targeting for body waxing, don’t start before your appointment. Your technician will handle any hair trimming if necessary.
- Come to your appointment clean, without any added lotions or moisturizers. That includes spray tans, which can lead to a patchy result. We’ll take care of the rest!
POST-TREATMENT
- Your skin may be extra sensitive after your treatment. Be gentle with it. If you had a service on your face, avoid touching the area for at least 24 hours to prevent breakouts.
- Wear loose clothing the day of and after your body waxing appointment. You want to avoid as much friction as possible and give your skin some breathing room.
- If you had a body treatment, including a Brazilian wax or leg waxing, exfoliate the area when the redness subsides.
- Avoid any intense workouts, steam treatments and extensive time in the sun the day of and after your treatment. You’re looking to avoid sweating too much and clogging those sensitive pores.
- Your technician will provide you with tips on how to avoid ingrown hairs after your service. This may include available beauty products. Keep the area clean and dry, particularly in the first few days after your treatment when it’s most vulnerable to bumps and blemishes.
- If you notice a few errant hairs in between waxing appointments, it’s okay to pluck those out with a pair of tweezers. Avoid reaching for the razor, though, as that can affect your hair regrowth.
- When you book your next appointment will depend on your hair regrowth. For most, that next booking comes around the 4-6 week mark. You should notice finer hair regrowth after each subsequent appointment.

BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) Important Information
Indications
BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is indicated in adult patients for the temporary improvement in the appearance of:
– Moderate to severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity
– Moderate to severe lateral canthal lines associated with orbicularis oculi activity
– Moderate to severe forehead lines associated with frontalis activity
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION, INCLUDING BOXED WARNING
WARNING: DISTANT SPREAD OF TOXIN EFFECT
Postmarketing reports indicate that the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic and all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulinum toxin effects. These may include asthenia, generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, urinary incontinence, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity, but symptoms can also occur in adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, particularly in those patients who have an underlying condition that would predispose them to these symptoms. In unapproved uses and approved indications, cases of spread of effect have been reported at doses comparable to those used to treat cervical dystonia and spasticity and at lower doses.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
BOTOX® Cosmetic is contraindicated in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or to any of the components in the formulation.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Lack of Interchangeability Between Botulinum Toxin Products
The potency units of BOTOX® Cosmetic are specific to the preparation and assay method utilized. They are not interchangeable with other preparations of botulinum toxin products and, therefore, units of biological activity of BOTOX® Cosmetic cannot be compared to nor converted into units of any other botulinum toxin products assessed with any other specific assay method.
Spread of Toxin Effect
Please refer to Boxed Warning for Distant Spread of Toxin Effect.
No definitive serious adverse event reports of distant spread of toxin effect associated with dermatologic use of BOTOX® Cosmetic at the labeled dose of 20 Units (for glabellar lines), 24 Units (for lateral canthal lines), 40 Units (for forehead lines with glabellar lines), 44 Units (for simultaneous treatment of lateral canthal lines and glabellar lines), and 64 Units (for simultaneous treatment of lateral canthal lines, glabellar lines, and forehead lines) have been reported. Patients or caregivers should be advised to seek immediate medical care if swallowing, speech, or respiratory disorders occur.
Serious Adverse Reactions With Unapproved Use
Serious adverse reactions, including excessive weakness, dysphagia, and aspiration pneumonia, with some adverse reactions associated with fatal outcomes, have been reported in patients who received BOTOX® injections for unapproved uses. In these cases, the adverse reactions were not necessarily related to distant spread of toxin, but may have resulted from the administration of BOTOX® to the site of injection and/or adjacent structures. In several of the cases, patients had pre-existing dysphagia or other significant disabilities. There is insufficient information to identify factors associated with an increased risk for adverse reactions associated with the unapproved uses of BOTOX®. The safety and effectiveness of BOTOX® for unapproved uses have not been established.
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Serious and/or immediate hypersensitivity reactions have been reported. These reactions include anaphylaxis, serum sickness, urticaria, soft-tissue edema, and dyspnea. If such reactions occur, further injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic should be discontinued and appropriate medical therapy immediately instituted. One fatal case of anaphylaxis has been reported in which lidocaine was used as the diluent and, consequently, the causal agent cannot be reliably determined.
Cardiovascular System
There have been reports following administration of BOTOX® of adverse events involving the cardiovascular system, including arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, some with fatal outcomes. Some of these patients had risk factors including pre-existing cardiovascular disease. Use caution when administering to patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease.
Increased Risk of Clinically Significant Effects With Pre-existing Neuromuscular Disorders
Individuals with peripheral motor neuropathic diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or neuromuscular junction disorders (eg, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome) should be monitored when given botulinum toxin. Patients with neuromuscular disorders may be at increased risk of clinically significant effects including generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphonia, dysarthria, severe dysphagia, and respiratory compromise from onabotulinumtoxinA (see Warnings and Precautions).
Dysphagia and Breathing Difficulties
Treatment with BOTOX® and other botulinum toxin products can result in swallowing or breathing difficulties. Patients with pre-existing swallowing or breathing difficulties may be more susceptible to these complications. In most cases, this is a consequence of weakening of muscles in the area of injection that are involved in breathing or oropharyngeal muscles that control swallowing or breathing (see Boxed Warning).
Pre-existing Conditions at the Injection Site
Caution should be used when BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is used in the presence of inflammation at the proposed injection site(s) or when excessive weakness or atrophy is present in the target muscle(s).
Dry Eye in Patients Treated With BOTOX® Cosmetic
There have been reports of dry eye associated with BOTOX® Cosmetic injection in or near the orbicularis oculi muscle. If symptoms of dry eye (eg, eye irritation, photophobia, or visual changes) persist, consider referring patients to an ophthalmologist.
Human Albumin and Transmission of Viral Diseases
This product contains albumin, a derivative of human blood. Based on effective donor screening and product manufacturing processes, it carries an extremely remote risk for transmission of viral diseases and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). There is a theoretical risk for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), but if that risk actually exists, the risk of transmission would also be considered extremely remote. No cases of transmission of viral diseases, CJD or vCJD have ever been identified for licensed albumin or albumin contained in other licensed products.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most frequently reported adverse reactions following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for glabellar lines were eyelid ptosis (3%), facial pain (1%), facial paresis (1%), and muscular weakness (1%).
The most frequently reported adverse reaction following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for lateral canthal lines was eyelid edema (1%).
The most frequently reported adverse reactions following injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic for forehead lines with glabellar lines were headache (9%), brow ptosis (2%), and eyelid ptosis (2%).
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Co-administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic and aminoglycosides or other agents interfering with neuromuscular transmission (eg, curare-like compounds) should only be performed with caution as the effect of the toxin may be potentiated. Use of anticholinergic drugs after administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic may potentiate systemic anticholinergic effects.
The effect of administering different botulinum neurotoxin products at the same time or within several months of each other is unknown. Excessive neuromuscular weakness may be exacerbated by
administration of another botulinum toxin prior to the resolution of the effects of a previously administered botulinum toxin.
Excessive weakness may also be exaggerated by administration of a muscle relaxant before or after administration of BOTOX® Cosmetic.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
There are no studies or adequate data from postmarketing surveillance on the developmental risk associated with use of BOTOX® Cosmetic in pregnant women. There are no data on the presence of BOTOX® Cosmetic in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production.
Please see BOTOX® Cosmetic full Prescribing Information including Boxed Warning and Medication Guide.
