What this service offers
Eliminates Forearm Shadows
Removing dark forearm hair from the root clears dark skin shadows and prevents coarse razor prickles.
Soft, Natural Edge Blending
Our estheticians feather the edges around the elbow or shoulder line to ensure a smooth, seamless transition.
Long-Lasting Smoothness
Enjoy silky, touchable arm skin for 3 to 4 weeks with no need for daily trimming or shaving.
What to expect
Choose the arm section
Specify forearm or upper arm and confirm the boundaries before removal.
Remove the hair in sections
Wax removes hair from the root. Tell the therapist if the heat or removal feels uncomfortable; the area and method should be adjusted where necessary.
Check the skin
Before dressing, discuss redness, suitable skin care and clothing that will not rub the treated area.
Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Explain when you last shaved or waxed so the therapist can assess whether there is enough regrowth.
- Mention retinoids, acne medication and recent peels. Do not wax sunburned or broken skin, or change prescribed medication without advice.
After your appointment
- While the skin is irritated, avoid hot bathing and friction; a cool compress can help with discomfort.
- Use a gentle moisturiser suitable for your skin. Persistent redness, swelling or worsening pain needs assessment rather than more waxing.
- Keep watch straps or sleeve edges away from any tender treated skin.

FAQs
What is the difference between a half arm wax and a full arm wax?
A half arm wax covers either the lower arm (elbow to fingers) OR the upper arm (shoulder to elbow). A full arm wax covers the entire length of both arms from shoulders down to fingertips.
Does a lower half arm wax include hands and fingers?
Yes! When you choose the lower half arm wax option at Galeo Beauty, hair removal across the hands and fingers is included upon request.
Will there be a noticeable line where the waxing stops?
No. Our experienced estheticians use gentle feathering techniques around the elbow or shoulder boundary so that the transition into natural skin looks completely subtle and seamless.
Does forearm waxing hurt?
Forearm waxing causes very minimal discomfort. Forearm skin is generally less sensitive than intimate or facial zones, making the treatment fast, easy, and very comfortable.
How long will a half arm wax last?
Your arms will stay smooth and hair-free for 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your individual hair regrowth speed.
