Benefits of Professional Facial Waxing
Professional facial waxing in San Jose helps you achieve smooth, glowing skin with longer lasting results than shaving or depilatory creams. Waxing removes hair from the root, encouraging slower regrowth and finer texture over time. It also gently exfoliates, revealing a brighter and more even complexion.
You will leave Geminii Esthetics feeling confident, renewed, and photo ready.

Pre-Wax Guide
How to Prepare for the Best Results
For the most comfortable and effective waxing experience at Geminii Esthetics in San Jose, a little preparation goes a long way. Follow these quick steps to help your skin stay smooth and irritation-free.
1. Arrive with Clean Skin
Shower before your appointment and skip lotions, oils, deodorants, or perfumes on the area to be waxed. Clean skin helps the wax adhere properly.
2. Exfoliate 24 to 48 Hours Before
Gently exfoliate a day or two before your service to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs. Avoid exfoliating the same day as your appointment.
3. Let Hair Grow to the Right Length
Hair should be about one quarter inch long, roughly the size of a grain of rice. Avoid trimming too short, as it may affect results.
4. Skip Caffeine and Alcohol
On the day of your appointment, avoid caffeine and alcohol since both can increase sensitivity. Drink water to keep your skin hydrated and calm.
5. Wear Loose Clothing
Choose breathable, loose-fitting clothes to reduce irritation and help your skin recover comfortably after waxing.
Before Your Wax: Products to Avoid
To protect your skin and prevent irritation, please avoid waxing if you currently use or recently used:
- Accutane (Isotretinoin): Wait at least six months after stopping.
- Retin-A, Retinols, Differin, or Adapalene: Stop use five to seven days before waxing.
- AHA’s, BHA’s, Glycolic or Salicylic Acid: Avoid for three to five days before treatment.
- Chemical Peels or Microdermabrasion: Wait three to five days before waxing.
Extra Tips
- Exfoliate gently one to two days before your service.
- Avoid tanning 24 hours before your appointment.
- Hydrate and come relaxed for best comfort.
Aftercare Guide
Caring for Your Skin After Waxing
After your waxing session at Geminii Esthetics in San Jose, your skin may feel slightly sensitive for a short time. To maintain smooth, healthy results and prevent irritation, follow these simple aftercare steps.
1. Within 24 Hours
Your skin needs time to recover after waxing. Follow these steps to reduce redness and discomfort:
- Avoid Heat and Friction
Skip hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and workouts. Excessive heat and sweat can irritate freshly waxed skin.
- Wear Loose Clothing
Choose light, breathable fabrics to prevent rubbing or friction that can cause irritation.
- Hands Off
Avoid touching, scratching, or rubbing the area. Freshly waxed skin is more prone to bacteria buildup.
- Limit Sun Exposure
Stay out of direct sunlight or tanning beds for at least 24 hours to prevent sunburn and irritation.
2. After 2–3 Days
Once your skin has calmed, begin a gentle maintenance routine:
- Exfoliate Gently
Use a mild scrub or exfoliating glove two to three times a week to remove dead skin cells and help prevent ingrown hairs.
- Moisturize Daily
Apply a fragrance-free lotion or lightweight oil every day to keep your skin soft, smooth, and hydrated.
- Avoid Active Ingredients
Skip retinols, AHAs, BHAs, and other exfoliating products for at least three to five days after waxing to reduce sensitivity.
3. Long-Term Maintenance
Consistency helps your skin stay smooth and irritation-free:
- Stay Consistent
Book your waxing appointments every four to six weeks. Regular waxing slows regrowth and helps hair grow finer over time.
- Treat Ingrown Hairs Promptly
If you notice any ingrown hairs, use a gentle serum or exfoliating pad to calm your skin and promote proper hair growth.
- Protect with SPF
Apply sunscreen daily to exposed areas. This prevents dark spots, irritation, and UV damage.

FAQs About Facial Waxing in San Jose
1. How long does a facial waxing session take?
Most facial waxing sessions at Geminii Esthetics take about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas you choose to include in your treatment.
2. Is facial waxing safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. We I use gentle, hypoallergenic wax specifically formulated for delicate areas of the face. My estheticians apply calming pre- and post-care products to soothe and protect your skin.
3. How often should I schedule facial waxing?
For best results, schedule your waxing session every 3 to 4 weeks. Consistent waxing keeps your skin smooth and helps hair grow back finer and more slowly.
4. Will waxing make my facial hair grow back thicker?
No. Waxing actually helps hair grow back finer and softer over time since it removes hair from the root, unlike shaving which cuts it at the surface.
5. How should I care for my skin after facial waxing?
Avoid makeup, heavy skincare products, and sun exposure for at least 24 hours. Apply a soothing lotion or aloe vera gel to keep your skin calm and hydrated after your appointment.
