Smooth skin is not just about being free of unwanted hair; it is also the result of the care you give your skin.
In waxing, the experience of the person performing the treatment, their ability to correctly read the direction of hair growth and their choice of a technique suited to the skin’s sensitivity are just as important as the products used.
Located in Istanbul’s historic Galata district, Beyoğlu Aesthetic & Nail Art Studio by DRTU and its professional team offer a personalised approach to waxing that prioritises comfort, hygiene and skin health.
Every skin has a different structure, level of sensitivity and hair density. For this reason, we do not see waxing as a standard procedure, but as a professional care service planned according to the person’s skin characteristics and the area being treated.
Our aim is to remove unwanted hair effectively while minimising unnecessary pulling, friction and skin irritation.
Waxing is a temporary hair removal method that removes unwanted hair from the root using suitable products and techniques.Unlike methods such as shaving, which cut hair at the skin’s surface, waxing removes hair from the root and can therefore keep the skin smooth for longer.
However, a successful waxing treatment is not only about removing hair; it is also about protecting the skin’s natural structure.
During professional waxing, the skin type, hair length, density and growth direction and the sensitivity of the area are assessed together.
This makes it possible to plan a more controlled, comfortable and effective treatment for each area.
Correctly identifying the direction of hair growth is one of the most important details affecting the success of a waxing treatment.
Hair does not grow in the same direction on every part of the body. Different growth directions can be seen, especially on the arms, legs, underarms and bikini area.
For this reason, an experienced practitioner assesses the natural direction of hair growth before applying the wax.
The appropriate direction for applying and removing the wax is determined according to the type of wax used. In classic soft wax treatments, the wax is generally applied in the direction of hair growth and removed in the opposite direction.
A quick, controlled pulling technique parallel to the skin can help reduce unnecessary stretching of the skin and remove hair effectively.
It is also important to support the skin properly and avoid unnecessary repeated passes over the same area.
At Beyoğlu Aesthetic & Nail Art Studio by DRTU, our professional team aims to minimise irritation and discomfort by using techniques suited to each area.
A comfortable waxing experience starts with the right preparation before the treatment begins.
Before waxing, it is important that the skin is clean, dry and ready for the treatment.
Depending on the skin’s needs, a suitable amount of baby powder or professional pre-wax products may be used.
On suitable skin, powder can help reduce excess moisture on the surface and help the wax grip the hairs better.
This can reduce unnecessary sticking of the wax to the skin’s surface and allow a more controlled treatment.However, powder is not necessary for every skin type or every waxing method. The products are chosen according to the person’s sensitivity.
After waxing, it is important to remove any product residue left on the skin using suitable methods.
Depending on the skin type and the wax used, baby oil or professional post-wax care oils may be used.
Suitable oil-based products can help gently remove wax residue and support a soft feel to the skin.
For sensitive skin, it is important to choose fragrance-free products with low irritation potential.
What matters to us is not just removing hair, but keeping the skin as comfortable and well cared for as possible after the treatment.
The discomfort felt during waxing may vary depending on the person’s pain threshold, the area treated, hair density and the technique used.
The practitioner’s experience is especially important in sensitive areas.
In our professional waxing treatments, we take care not to pull the skin unnecessarily, to remove hair at the right angle and not to irritate the same area repeatedly.
Using the product at the right temperature and a controlled pulling technique also support skin comfort.
Waxing is not completely painless. That said, the right technique and products suited to the person can help make the treatment more comfortable.
At Beyoğlu Aesthetic & Nail Art Studio by DRTU, waxing treatments are planned according to the characteristics of the area being treated.
Leg Waxing
Leg waxing is one of the treatments preferred by those who want smooth legs for longer.
Treatment can be planned for the lower legs, upper legs or full legs.
Since the direction of hair growth can vary on different parts of the legs, the waxing technique is adjusted accordingly.
Arm Waxing
When removing fine or dense hair on the arms, methods suited to the skin’s sensitivity are used.The aim is to create a smoother, well-groomed look on the arms while avoiding unnecessary irritation.
Underarm Waxing
The underarm is one of the areas where the skin is sensitive and hair can grow in different directions.
For this reason, it is important to assess the direction of hair growth, support the skin in a controlled way and use the appropriate waxing technique during the treatment.
Bikini Waxing
Skin sensitivity and hair structure in the bikini area can vary from person to person.
Hygiene, privacy, the right choice of products and a controlled technique are especially important in this area.
The scope of the treatment is clarified before the appointment.
Facial Waxing
The skin on the face can be more sensitive than on the body.
When planning waxing on the upper lip, chin and other suitable areas of the face, the skincare products being used, existing sensitivity and recent treatments are assessed.
Waxing may not be suitable, particularly for people who use retinoids, have recently had a chemical peel or have a sensitive skin barrier.
Having sensitive skin does not mean that waxing is never possible. However, the condition of the skin needs to be assessed carefully before the treatment.
People whose skin reddens or becomes irritated easily, or who have reacted to waxing before, should mention this before their appointment.
Wax should not be applied to areas with active eczema, open wounds, sunburn, infection or noticeable skin irritation.
For suitable clients, the choice of products and the technique can be adjusted to the skin’s sensitivity.
At Beyoğlu Aesthetic & Nail Art Studio by DRTU, our priority is to take a safe, controlled approach rather than pushing ahead with treatments that are not suitable for the skin’s current condition.
One of the key elements of a professional waxing service is preparing a hygienic working environment for every client.At our studio, we take care with the cleanliness of the treatment area, the hygiene of the equipment used and the proper use of disposable materials.
In waxing treatments, practices that prevent cross-contamination are important, such as using disposable spatulas and never putting a used spatula back into the shared wax pot.
Disposable materials are disposed of properly after the treatment.
At Beyoğlu Aesthetic & Nail Art Studio by DRTU, we evaluate beauty services not only by their aesthetic results but also through our commitment to hygiene and professional care.
For more effective results from waxing, the hairs need to be long enough.
A length of about 5–6 mm is generally suitable for many waxing methods. However, the ideal length may vary depending on the hair type and the product used.
Before the treatment, it is recommended that the skin is clean and free of heavy, oily products and that irritating treatments are avoided.
Wax should not be applied to areas that have recently been sunburnt, exfoliated or irritated.
It is important to tell the practitioner about any medications you are taking and, in particular, any skincare products containing retinoids.
After waxing, temporary redness, sensitivity and small bumps around the hair follicles may appear.
Avoiding anything that could irritate the skin for the first 24–48 hours can be helpful.
Very hot showers, saunas, intense exercise, harsh scrubs and tight clothing that increases friction can make sensitivity worse.
Fragrance-free, soothing care products suited to the skin’s needs can be used.
Exfoliation should only be started once the skin has fully calmed down.
If severe or worsening redness, noticeable swelling, pus-filled bumps or prolonged pain develop, a healthcare professional should be consulted.
Waxing is a temporary hair removal method that removes existing hair from the root.
Laser hair removal, on the other hand, aims to achieve long-term hair reduction by targeting the hair follicles in people with suitable skin and hair characteristics.
After waxing, hair grows back. How long it takes for hair to grow back varies from person to person.People undergoing laser hair removal are advised to consult their practitioner before using any method that removes hair from the root between sessions.
At our studio in Galata, we do not see waxing as just a routine hair removal procedure.
For us, a good waxing experience comes together with the right technique, a professional team, the right choice of products, hygiene and the client feeling at ease.
Choosing preparation products that suit your skin, removing hair with the correct pulling technique and providing proper aftercare form the foundation of our service.
