Like to wax your bits, but don’t love how it leaves your skin? Do you get bumps, rashes, dark spots and dryness from waxing? Then you may want to try a vajacial.  

A vajacial is a spa treatment for the bikini area. Specially designed to take care of your most sensitive skin, it involves cleansing, exfoliating, preventing ingrown hairs, and smoothing and revitalizing the skin. Treatments at Happy Valley Healthy Beauty can be customized to focus on lightening dark spots or boosting collagen.

Why are Vajacials so popular?

Vajacials have gained popularity for several reasons:

  • Increased awareness of intimate skincare: People are becoming more aware of the importance of skincare beyond the face, including the bikini area.
  • Desire to address specific concerns: Vajacials target common issues like ingrown hairs, razor bumps, hyperpigmentation, and dryness in the bikini area.
  • Enhanced grooming routines: Many individuals see vajacials as a way to elevate their personal grooming and hygiene practices.
  • Post-hair removal care: Vajacials are often sought after waxing or shaving to soothe irritation and prevent ingrown hairs.
  • Pampering and self-care: Like facials for the face, vajacials can provide a relaxing and pampering experience.

Vajacials have become the latest way to practice self care and to feel great about your most sensitive spots. Those who wax regularly have come to learn that waxing can leave skin discolored, bumpy and dry. Vajacials are an excellent way to balance the effects of regular hair removal. 

Benefits of a Vajacial

  • Reduces ingrown hairs and razor bumps
  • Removes dead skin cells
  • Smooths and softens the skin
  • Evens out skin tone
  • Hydrates the skin
  • Helps keep skin smooth after waxing
  • Helps revitalize and rejuvenate the skin
  • Promotes relaxation

Who is a Good Candidate for a Vajacial?

A vajacial is a good option for anyone who wants to improve the appearance and feel of their bikini area. It is especially beneficial for people who experience ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or hyperpigmentation after waxing or shaving. It is also good for those who can be sensitive after waxing or experience dryness. 

What to Expect During a Vajacial

A vajacial typically takes about 30 minutes. The esthetician will begin by cleansing the area and then exfoliating the skin.

Next we use LED light therapy to help soothe the skin, lighten dark spots, and revitalize.

Then a mask is applied. You may choose a soothing mask to calm and brighten the skin or a revitalizing, hydrating mask. Removal of the mask is followed by a toner to cleanse skin and balance Ph.

Finally, the esthetician will apply a serum to help prevent ingrown hairs and a moisturizer.

After a Vajacial

You may experience some redness or sensitivity after a vajacial. This should subside within a few hours. It is important to avoid touching the treated area and to wear loose-fitting clothing. You should also avoid sun exposure and tanning beds. In general, a vajacial should leave your skin feeling silky smooth. 

How Often Should You Get a Vajacial?

The frequency of vajacials depends on your individual needs. Some people may benefit from a vajacial every few weeks, while others may only need one every few months. We recommend booking one after any waxing treatment. 

Isn’t an at-home vajacial just as good?

This is a sensitive and private area. Maybe you’d rather just try to do it yourself at home. Here are a few reasons why it is worth getting this treatment from a  professional at a spa like Happy Valley Healthy Beauty rather than attempting it at home:

  • Expertise and hygiene: Licensed estheticians have the training and experience to perform vajacials, minimizing the risk of infection or irritation.  
  • Professional-grade products: Spas use high-quality products formulated for delicate skin, which may not be readily available for home use.  
  • Specialized equipment: Spas have professional tools like steamers or magnifying lamps that enhance the treatment and improve results.  At Happy Valley Healthy Beauty our vajacials include professional grade LED light therapy. 
  • Relaxation and pampering: A spa environment provides a relaxing and pampering experience, which can enhance the overall benefits of the treatment.  

While at-home vajacial kits are available, going to a spa ensures a more professional and effective treatment with reduced risk of complications.

Is a Vajacial Right for You?

So is this just hype or is this a good idea? Are you worried that this is just the latest trend in making women worry they don’t look  (or feel) good enough? 

We get your concerns and we don’t support making women feel bad about their bodies AT ALL. EVER. However, for those of you who like to wax, the vajacial is really a must have part of your self care routine. It is an excellent way to improve the appearance and feel of your bikini area.
