Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise for 24 hours. Use mild, fragrance-free cleansers and apply cooling aloe or recommended post-wax lotion. Exfoliate gently after 48-72 hours to prevent ingrowns, and protect skin from sun exposure while it heals.

Yes — we often combine upper back waxing with shoulders, chest, or lower back treatments for efficiency and consistent results. Let us know your preferences when booking; we’ll recommend appropriate timing and aftercare to ensure comfort and optimal skin healing.
