A Brazilian wax is a hair removal technique that involves the use of warm wax to remove hair from the bikini area, including the front, back, and everything in between. This method leaves the skin smooth and hair-free for several weeks, as it removes hair from the root. The process typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes and is performed by a trained esthetician in a salon or spa. While some may experience discomfort during the procedure, many find the results worth it for the long-lasting smoothness and reduced hair growth over time.
