Leg Facial in Waterloo

Wax first, then wait at least 48 hours before the leg facial — freshly waxed skin is too sensitive for exfoliation. Or book the leg facial first and wax 3–4 days later; the exfoliation lifts dead skin so hairs come out more cleanly. Both work; the same day doesn't.

It helps. "Strawberry legs" — dark dots at the follicles — are often trapped oil, dead skin or ingrowns, and a full exfoliation clears much of that and frees hairs that are stuck under the surface. Regular exfoliation at home keeps it going. Dark follicles caused by very coarse hair under the skin need a hair removal plan as well.

Yes — one to two days before. Exfoliating first removes the dry patches that make tan cling unevenly at the knees and ankles, so colour goes on smoothly and fades evenly. Don't tan on the same day; give skin 24 hours to settle after the treatment.

Not at all. Exfoliation feels like a firm polish, and the rest is a mask and a long, relaxing leg massage. If you have varicose veins or tender areas, tell us and we'll keep pressure light over them.

Seasonally is plenty for most people: once in spring to shed winter dryness, and before a summer event or holiday. If you're fighting rough texture or ingrowns, monthly for two or three months, with gentle exfoliation at home in between, gives the best result.

Legs are cleansed before exfoliation, tools are sanitised between clients, and the treatment is one-to-one in a private room inside the Luna Aesthetics clinic. If you’ve waxed or shaved in the last 24 hours, say so — freshly waxed skin is treated more gently, and any broken skin is left out.
