There’s nothing better than the feeling of tranquility after an indulgent facial treatment. It just so happens that pampering your pubic area with a luxurious professional treatment can feel just as incredible. And that’s how the vajacial was born!
The skin in your pubic area may not get a ton of attention, but it goes through a lot, especially during summer months when we’re regularly waxing, increasing the risk of ingrown hairs and clogged pores. Every single body has its own skincare struggles, and for many, it doesn’t end down under. Join us for a guide to vajacial treatments!
What is a vajacial?
A vajacial is the perfect spa treatment that your vagina didn’t know it needed. This spa service is performed on the vulva and keeps your bikini line and outer labia looking and feeling refreshed. It supports healthy cellular regeneration and targets painful, unsightly ingrown hairs.
Basically, it’s a one-stop shop targeting hyperpigmentation, dry skin, and uneven tone and texture, giving the skin around your pubic area some much-needed rejuvenation. It can benefit pretty much anyone with a vulva, particularly those with lingering dark spots from old acne scars or ingrown hairs.
When should you get a vajacial?
Keeping the skin around your vagina happy requires a lot less maintenance when you prioritize skin health alongside its aesthetic appearance. Pair with a regular vajacial appointment for a great way to give the area a bit of TLC. Most folks choose to schedule their vajacial as an add-on service post-wax appointment to soothe inflammation and facilitate the healing process.
But really, anytime you feel like pampering yourself, you can hop on your esthetician’s schedule. Consider squeezing in a session before you head out on vacation, as you prepare for a big date, or any other time you feel like your skin could use a little extra support.
What are the benefits of getting a vajacial?
Like many professional spa services, the benefits of a vajacial are extensive. Here are a few advantages to look forward to:
- Addresses existing ingrown hairs and helps prevent future trapped strands.
- Soothes inflamed, irritated skin.
- Evens out skin tone and lightens hyperpigmentation.
- Removes impurities from pores.
- Hydrates and softens delicate skin.
- Promotes overall skin health and confidence.
Who can get a vajacial?
Almost anyone can get a vajacial, but clients with certain skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis should consult with a doctor before opting for any skin treatment. If you have had any recent cosmetic procedures or are currently pregnant, you may need to hold off on your vajacial.

The vajacial treatment process
It’s completely normal to have questions and reservations about any new skincare remedy, especially one as intimate as a vajacial. However, knowing what to expect can alleviate any lingering anxiety. Here’s a step-by-step guide to the typical vajacial treatment:
Steam and extractions
Your session will start with a deep cleanse and gentle exfoliation to eliminate dead skin cells and other impurities. Then, your esthetician will use steam to open your pores and extract blackheads, whiteheads, and ingrown hairs. These tasks set your vulva up for success, enabling the skin to receive maximum hydration and reap the benefits of other products used, like enzymes or masks.
Vajacial mask
If you’re getting your vajacial after a Brazilian wax appointment, this will probably be your favorite part of the process. A soothing, hydrating mask will be spread over your vulva, calming any inflamed pores and allowing your skin to soak up the delicious ingredients that make up the mask. Take a few deep breaths, let your mind wander to happy thoughts, and soak in the tranquility.
Moisturizer and personalized treatment
A hydrating moisturizer is the final step of any great vajacial treatment. Your esthetician may apply deeply nourishing products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and squalane to lock in hydration and encourage a speedy recovery after your wax.

For waxing specialists wanting to offer vajacial treatments
Considering adding vajacial treatments to your spa menu? Here’s what you need to know:
Combo waxing and vajacial services
Marketing vajacial services as add-on treatments for bikini line and Brazilian waxes is a great way to upsell while helping your clients maximize their results. Consider creating a brief info sheet on the benefits of a post-wax vajacial and include the amount your guests will save by bundling these treatments.
Pricing considerations
Your location, experience level, and industry positioning will all impact your vajacial prices. Clients will pay more for services offered by highly skilled estheticians with the credentials to back up their training. Research other providers in your area to see what they charge for these intimate treatments, then price your menu addition accordingly.
Offering add-ons
Once you’ve created the perfect foundation for your signature vajacial treatment, consider any bonus services your clients may add to enhance their results. LED light therapy, an enzyme or chemical peel, and a deluxe brightening treatment can be popular additions.
