Waxing is the process of hair removal from the root by using a wax to adhere to body hair, and then pulling out the hair from the follicle. New hair will generally not grow back for four to six weeks, and almost any area of the body can be waxed, including eyebrows, face, pubic hair, legs, arms, back and abdomen. There are many benefits to waxing versus other forms of hair removal including the ability to remove large amounts of hair at one time.
