The treatment

What is Face waxing?

Face waxing is a quick, precise way to remove unwanted facial hair.

Warm wax lifts the hair out from the root rather than just off the surface, so your skin stays smooth for weeks and regrowth comes back softer and finer over time. From the upper lip and chin to the cheeks and sides of the face, it's tailored to the areas you want done, and finished by soothing the skin.

What it helps with

Made for the concern you came in with.

Concerns it targets

This is for you if

  • Smooth, hair-free facial skin
  • Upper lip, chin, cheeks and sides of the face
  • Softer, finer regrowth over time
  • Longer-lasting results than shaving or trimming
  • A quick tidy-up before an event or as regular upkeep

How it works

How your treatment works.

A fast, precise way to remove unwanted facial hair:

  • Warm wax is applied to the area in the direction of hair growth.
  • It's removed quickly to lift the hair out from the root, not just off the surface.
  • The skin is soothed afterwards to calm any redness.

Because the hair is removed from the root, you stay smooth for weeks, and with regular waxing regrowth becomes softer, finer and often sparser.

How to care for your skin afterwards

Been here before?

You've probably already spent money on skin that didn't change.

Real skin concerns don't respond to guesswork, or to whatever machine a clinic happens to own. They respond to the right treatment, at the right depth, in the right order. That is the difference between spending on your skin and actually solving it.

Why Cronulla Skin Sanctuary

Real results and genuine care

For twenty years the Shire has trusted the Sanctuary to take the guesswork out of skin. Paramedical treatments, honest advice, and a therapist who holds your history: that is the difference between a fluffy facial and a plan that actually changes your skin.

Client review

I am a beauty therapist and educator at TAFE and would only trust my skin to the specialists at Cronulla Skin Sanctuary. Their education and training, equipment and machinery are second to none.

Before you book

The honest bit: what's normal, and when to wait.

Every skin is different. Here is what tends to happen afterwards, and the times it is worth pausing to check with your therapist first.

What's normal afterwards

Face waxing has little to no downtime. Straight afterwards the skin can look pink and feel slightly warm or tender, which usually settles within a few hours.

Occasionally a small breakout or ingrown hair can appear, and gentle care between appointments helps keep skin clear.

When to check with us first

Face waxing suits most people, but let us know before you book if any of the following apply, so we can wax safely or check first:

  • You use retinol, retinoids or strong active skincare on the area (you may need to pause beforehand)
  • You take, or have recently taken, oral acne medication such as isotretinoin
  • The skin is sunburnt, broken, or has an active cold sore, infection or inflamed breakout
  • You have very fragile, reactive or compromised skin
  • You've recently had a peel, laser or another treatment on your face

Not sure it is right for you? A consultation covers your history, your skin and your goals before anything begins.

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

Everything worth knowing before your appointment. Still unsure which treatment suits you? A quick consultation sorts it out.

Will my skin be red afterwards?

Facial skin can look a little pink and feel slightly warm straight after, which usually settles within a few hours. We soothe the area before you leave.

Which areas of the face can you wax?

The most common facial areas, including:

  • Upper lip
  • Chin
  • Cheeks and sides of the face
  • Between the brows

Let us know what you'd like done and we'll tailor your appointment.

Can I have it if I use active skincare?

Let us know what you use. Retinol, retinoids and strong acids can make facial skin more fragile, so you may need to pause them beforehand, and waxing isn't suitable while taking some acne medications. We'll check with you when you book.

How do I book an appointment?

Book online any time, or call the clinic during opening hours. New to a treatment? A short skin consultation is the best place to start.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Zip is available at checkout, so you can pay over time, and our skin memberships spread the cost of a course. Packages can be used up to 12 months later.

Will I need a consultation first?

For most advanced treatments, yes. A consultation checks your skin and history so your plan is safe, and it counts toward your treatment. Browse all treatments or ask us which suits you.

Where are you and is there parking?

You will find the clinic in the heart of Cronulla, with street parking close by. Full directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
