Waxing at MedSpa Raphael
Smooth skin. Thoughtful care. Beautifully you.
Sometimes, the smallest details make you feel beautifully put together. At MedSpa Raphael, brow, facial, and body waxing offer a simple way to refine your look and enjoy smoother skin in a serene, welcoming setting.
We use both soft and hard wax, selecting the appropriate option for the treatment area, hair texture, and condition of your skin. Your appointment begins with a conversation about your goals, skincare routine, and any sensitivities so we can tailor your service with care.
Science, Serenity, Splendor, Spirituality.
Brow Waxing
A little definition. A beautiful difference.
Thoughtfully shaped brows frame your eyes and complement your natural features. Whether you prefer a subtle cleanup or a more defined shape, our approach focuses on enhancing your brows while respecting their natural fullness and growth pattern.
We discuss your preferred look before removing unwanted hair around the brow line, creating a polished finish that feels true to you.
Ideal for: Maintaining your brow shape, tidying stray hairs, and creating a more defined appearance.
Facial Waxing
A smooth finish for your natural radiance.
Facial waxing removes unwanted hair from selected areas of the face, leaving skin feeling smoother and your everyday routine a little simpler.
Whether you want to address a small area or several areas, we personalize your appointment to your preferences and your skin’s needs. Facial skin requires particular care, so we review your skincare products and recent treatments before proceeding.
Retinol, prescription retinoids, exfoliating products, and certain aesthetic treatments can leave skin more vulnerable to irritation or lifting during waxing. Let us know what you use so we can help determine whether waxing is appropriate and when to schedule it.
Ideal for: Removing unwanted facial hair and enjoying a smoother surface for skincare and makeup application.
Body Waxing
Smoothness that fits your routine.
Body waxing removes unwanted hair from the root, offering a longer interval between hair removal sessions than shaving typically provides.
Whether you are preparing for a special occasion or maintaining your preferred grooming routine, we tailor the service to your selected area, hair growth, and skin condition. Both soft and hard wax may be used, depending on what is appropriate for the area being treated.
Waxing provides temporary hair removal. How long your skin stays smooth varies with your individual growth cycle, and some regrowth may appear sooner because hairs grow at different stages.
Ideal for: Clients seeking an alternative to frequent shaving and a smoother feel in their chosen treatment areas.
Soft Wax & Hard Wax: Personalized to Your Service
Soft wax is applied in a thin layer and removed with a strip. It can be useful for larger areas and finer hair.
Hard wax sets on the skin and is removed without a strip. It is often selected for smaller, delicate areas or coarser hair.
Both methods remove hair from the root. Neither is completely painless or free of irritation, and hard wax does not eliminate the precautions associated with medications or sensitive skin.
Our team selects the wax and technique with your treatment area and skin condition in mind.
Before Your Waxing Appointment
A little preparation helps us provide a more comfortable, effective service.
- Allow sufficient hair growth. For most areas, approximately ¼ inch helps the wax grip the hair. Avoid shaving or tweezing immediately before your appointment.
- Share your skincare routine and medications. Tell us about retinol, prescription retinoids, exfoliating acids, and any medications or conditions that affect your skin or healing. Ask your prescribing clinician before changing a prescription.
- Tell us about recent treatments. Chemical peels, lasers, microneedling, and other procedures may require additional time before waxing.
- Let irritated skin recover. We do not wax skin that is sunburned, broken, infected, or actively inflamed.
- Disclose isotretinoin use. Waxing should be avoided while taking isotretinoin and for at least six months after stopping because of the risk of skin injury and scarring.
- Mention previous reactions or allergies. This includes reactions to wax, fragrance, or other skincare ingredients.

After Your Appointment
Temporary redness, tenderness, or small bumps can occur after waxing. Give the treated skin time to settle and follow your provider’s personalized instructions.
While the area remains sensitive:
- Keep skincare gentle and avoid scrubs, retinoids, and exfoliating acids.
- Avoid hot baths, saunas, friction, and activities that aggravate the area.
- Choose loose clothing after body waxing.
- Protect exposed skin from the sun with clothing and a gentle, broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.
- Avoid picking at bumps or ingrown hairs.
Waxing can occasionally cause skin lifting, burns, pigment changes, or infection. Contact us if you develop an unexpected reaction; seek medical care for blistering, severe pain, spreading redness, or signs of infection.
