What is a Vajacial? Everything You Should Know

Your pubic area might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of skincare, but the vajacial is here to change that. 

If you’re unfamiliar with this popular spa treatment, you won’t be for long! 

Today, we’re talking about the best post-wax care you can give your nether regions.

What is a vajacial?

A vajacial is pretty much what it sounds like–a facial for your bikini area. It’s typically a follow-up to hair removal services like Brazilian waxes to reduce ingrown hairs and improve the appearance of the skin around your bikini area and pubic mound. 

What is the vajacial process like?

Your vajacial treatment will start with a cleanse to remove any dirt or oils on your skin. Then, a gentle exfoliating mask will help get rid of dead skin cells that can clog your pores. 

Next, your esthetician will extract any ingrown hairs that are ready to come out. They’ll follow up the extraction with a calming mask to soothe irritated skin. Finally, a high-frequency treatment will destroy bacteria and promote collagen production. 

However, the exact process might be different depending on your needs. Some spas include a steam treatment with essential oils, LED exposure, and other modalities to help you reach your goals. 

How safe is a vajacial?

Despite the catchy name, vajacials don’t actually involve the vaginal canal, and nothing goes inside the vagina. Instead, they treat the outer labia, pubic mound, and bikini line. 

Vajacial services are safe and effective ways to address irritating skin issues like ingrown hairs following Brazilian waxing or shaving. Just don’t expect it to have any effect on your vaginal health–that’s a job for your doctor.

What are the benefits of a vajacial?

Vajacials are the ultimate way to pamper your pubic area. Here are some of the greatest benefits our clients see. 

Your skin is cleansed and moisturized 

The pubic area is often overlooked in the world of skincare. So, if your bikini area is looking less than stellar, you’re not alone. 

Vajacials not only remove dead skin cells, but they can also help restore moisture and improve the appearance of your skin. You’ll leave the studio feeling cleansed and refreshed!

Vajacials are customized to each individual

Our vajacial services are tailored to each client’s individual needs. Whether you’re more concerned about ingrown hairs or you’d rather focus on soothing your sensitive skin, there’s a treatment just for you!

Skin discoloration is treated with vajacials

Hyperpigmentation can make anyone feel a little self-conscious. Dark spots along your bikini line and pubic area often result from improperly treated ingrown hairs. 

Fortunately, a vajacial treatment can have a brightening effect on your skin and help even out unsightly discoloration. While you’ll likely notice improvements in skin tone and texture right away, you’ll need multiple treatments to eliminate dark spots. 

Who should receive a vajacial?

If you shave or wax your pubic hair, you should consider adding a vajacial service to your self-care routine. Here are two more great reasons to book your appointment today.

Those with sensitive skin see great results

Hair removal can be harsh on sensitive skin. Razor bumps, inflammation, and ingrown hairs aren’t uncommon after waxing or shaving. If your pubic area needs a little TLC, a vajacial can help soothe irritation. 

Of course, you should inform your esthetician if you have any allergies or if you’ve had a bad reaction to skincare products or treatments in the past. After all, these treatments are customized just for you, and we want you to get the best results possible. 

Anyone who suffers from ingrown hairs

Pubic hairs are naturally thicker and coarser than the hair on the rest of your body. When they begin growing back after a shave or waxing service, they can become trapped under the skin, causing painful inflammation. 

Vajacials are an excellent way to treat these blemishes. However, they are not a replacement for your home care regimen of exfoliating & moisturizing recommended by your waxer. We highly recommend being on a home care regimen consistently for 30 days before receiving a vajacial so that the treatment is most effective. For the best results, we suggest scheduling your treatment three to ten days post-wax. Keep in mind that your hair grows in cycles, so it’s impossible to extract all your ingrown hairs at one time. However, repeat appointments will help smooth your skin over time and reduce the amount of ingrown hairs after your next wax.
