Body sugaring is a process designed to drastically improve your skin condition, with emphasis on removing hair roots, and not simply shaving off the visible hair on skin. Unlike other skin treatments (such as waxing), sugaring removes hair and other unwanted substances gently and safely.

• The most popular reason for choosing body sugaring over waxing is it doesn’t cause discomfort and depending on your skin type can be almost pain-free.
  Waxing involves applying heated wax directly onto the skin. This can cause stinging and pain when hairs are removed. While waxing is effective, it can be painful especially for people with sensitive skin. Body sugaring is applied at room temperature and the treatment is soothing and doesn’t causes that burning feel on your skin.

 

• Body sugaring uses high quality substances that are natural and safe to use.

 

• Sugaring doesn’t cause your skin to dry. Unlike other body treatments, you don’t have to deal with flaky skin cells at the end of a body sugaring session. Body sugaring employs the use of high concentrations of sugar, leaving nothing on your skin but a glowing smoothness.

 

• Body sugaring only requires about 2 millimeters of hair for you to get the most out of your treatment, so you don’t have to wait for your hair to grow out to book yourself a session. Also you don’t have to worry about regrowth brought about by broken hairs, as the process removes hair up to the root. With body sugaring you will have lovely smooth skin, the whole sugaring process can also be quite relaxing, as it doesn’t cause any pain.



• The products used in body sugaring don’t affect live skin cells, instead clinging to dead cells that may cause peeling, irritation and general discomfort over time. Because sugaring does not damage any healthy cells, it can be done on sensitive parts of the body, such as the bikini area and eyelids. The products used are also water-soluble, and can be easily washed off under running water and they don’t contain any ureas, parabens or petrochemicals.

 

• Body sugaring products are antibacterial, especially because high concentrations of sugar don’t make a viable environment for sustainable bacterial growth.

Alexandria Professional™ Body Sugaring

The earliest references to hair removal came from the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt and Greece. The British Museum’s famed department of Egyptology displays copper and bronzer razors and tweezers from as far back as 1900 B.C., including one combination razor/hair cutter/trimmer from about 1450 B.C.! These methods however, were still primitive and
painful.  During the reign of the Turkish Empire, the harem was an important part of court life and the removal of body hair was considered an art.  Therefore, tradition has been handed down through the generations and today certain Middle Easter women still practice total body hair removal using sugar.

After extensive research it was determined that the current methods were working only to a limited extent. It was found that this ancient art of hair removal could provide permanent, satisfactory results with benefits that would far exceed the more commonly used methods, if it could be modified to become commercially acceptable. AT LAST! Alexandria Professional™ Body Sugaring has pioneered the North American market with the Art of body Sugaring. Experience for yourself the new name in painless hair removal.

Today using the Alexandria Professional™ sugar paste hair removal technique, we can promise our clients the ultimate centuries-old extraction of hair that is today considered a must-do in the healthy removal of unwanted facial and body hair. The technique painlessly extracts hair in its natural direction of growth and does so when the hair is still in the early growth stage, eliminating breakage, unnecessary discomfort, irritation and ingrown hairs while exfoliating dry skin cells. The result is smooth, beautiful skin without the discomforts of other hair removal techniques.

Pure and Natural Ingredients

Sugaring paste is made from NATURAL INGREDIENTS with no testing on animals and with no harmful side effects caused by allergic reactions. It is so natural you can EAT it!
Wax has many chemical ingredients, mostly resins and preservatives.

It Is Not As Hot

The Advanced Sugaring Paste is applied at body temperature making it safe for all areas. It is even safe for spider veins and varicose veins. It will not increase blood supply.
Hot wax must be heated to a very high degree in order to become liquefied. This amount of heat can cause burning and scarring. It also causes swelling in the tissues, which make hair removal difficult. Long-term use can break down the underlying connecting tissues, especially in the lop and brow areas, which are associated with WRINKLING.

It Will Not Stick To The Skin

Sugar cannot adhere to live skin cells. Live cells are wet, and because sugar is water soluble, it will not adhere to live skin cells; it will extract the air and exfoliate the dead skin cells, helping to free ingrown hairs. Sugaring is also safe to perform on dry itchy eczema and dry psoriasis effected skin. This means less discomfort, and it’s less traumatic for your skin. It is gently enough to go over the same area several times when necessary to extract the shortest and most coarse hair, without causing skin damage or irritation.

It Will Not Break As Many Hairs

Using our Advanced Sugaring Technique, the paste wraps around the hair shaft making it pliable, while seeping below the mouth of the follicle and lubricating the hair to make the extraction more complete and gently. The hair is eased out of the follicle only in the natural direction of growth, which helps to extract the hair intact. Because the direction you will feel little, if any, discomfort.

One of the most common problems waxers face is early re growth due to broken hairs. Waxing can leave 15-30% breakage behind. This problem is usually caused not by the aesthetician, but by the wax used. Since wax hardens on the hair, it has the tendency to break it off at the surface, rather than pull it out.

It is More Sanitary

The sugaring paste is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. Sugar helps control cross contamination. Since our paste has such a high concentration of sugar, bacteria cannot breed in the jar.
Cross contamination is a waxing room is always a danger, especially since bacteria will breed inside a of a wax jar.

Can Extract Very Short Hairs

The Advance Sugaring Technique requires less that 1/16 inch or four to seven days growth, after shaving. In many instances, depending on the experience of the Practitioner in the Advance Technique, hair can be extracted as soon as one to two days after shaving.
Wax products require at least two to three weeks growth before treatment when a client is shaving.

Leads to Permanency

After a number of treatments the hair follicle begins to deplete. The hair grown is more refined each time. Because sugar can extract the shortest hair, it is possible to extract hair in the early anagen phase, which can lead to permanency. You will see superior results after just a few treatments
