TARGETTED HAIR REMOVAL
Why should I choose PhD™ Safework Strip Waxing?
PhD™ Safework Strip Waxing is chosen by patients who prioritise pristine clinical hygiene alongside fast, thorough hair removal. Unlike traditional pot-and-spatula waxing, where cross-contamination risks can occur if strict protocols are missed, the PhD™ system uses sealed, single-use applicator heads that are disposed of immediately after your treatment.
How does the treatment work?
A fresh, sterile PhD™ applicator head is attached to a pre-warmed tube of honey wax. As your therapist glides the applicator across your skin, a fine, even layer of warm wax is deposited over the target area. High-grade fabric or paper strips are pressed onto the wax and removed swiftly against the direction of hair growth, extracting hairs completely from their root bulb.
Where on my face and body can be treated?
Legs & Feet: Full legs, half legs, knees, and feet for long-lasting silky smoothness.
Arms & Hands: Full arms, forearms, and hands to clear coarse or dark arm hair.
Back, Shoulders & Chest: Fast, efficient hair removal across full back, chest, and shoulder contours.
Abdomen & Torso: Smoothing belly lines and lower back areas cleanly.

Preparation, Guidelines & Side Effects
Be sure to prepare for your treatment by following any and all advice given by your practitioner
01
Clinical Skin Cleansing & Prep
Your therapist cleanses and sanitises the skin with a soothing antiseptic pre-wax lotion to remove surface oils and prepare hair follicles.
02
Fresh PhD™ System Setup
A brand-new, sealed PhD™ single-use applicator head is opened in front of you and fitted to the pre-heated wax tube.
03
Fast, Uniform Strip Removal
Your therapist applies smooth, ultra-thin passes of warm wax across the mapped zone and removes them cleanly using professional strips while supporting your skin.
04
Soothing Antiseptic Finish
We cleanse away any wax residue and apply a cooling lotion infused with tea tree or aloe vera to soothe skin, reduce redness, and protect open pores.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What makes the PhD™ system safer than standard strip waxing?
A: The PhD™ system uses patented single-use applicator heads that lock onto sealed wax tubes with a non-return safety valve. Once your treatment is finished, the applicator head is detached and thrown away. Wax cannot flow back into the tube, making cross-contamination 100% impossible.
Q: How long do results last compared to shaving?
A: Because PhD™ strip waxing pulls hair out completely from the follicle bulb, your skin remains smooth for 3 to 6 weeks (compared to just 1 to 2 days with shaving). Regrowth returns noticeably softer, finer, and sparser over time.
Q: Can I combine PhD™ Strip Waxing with Advanced Hot Waxing in one session?
A: Yes, absolutely! This is our most popular grooming combination. We often use PhD™ Strip Waxing for speed and efficiency on large zones (like legs or back) and Advanced Hot Waxing for delicate, sensitive areas (like the bikini line or underarms).
