Sugaring – the gentle hair removal method using natural sugar paste – is a popular treatment for smooth skin, especially on sensitive areas like the arms. But what if you have moles on your arms? Is it still safe to perform sugaring?

At MONLIS Studio in Munich, a professional beauty salon specializing in gentle hair removal, we carefully tailor each treatment to your skin’s condition. In this article, we explain when arm sugaring with moles is safe, what precautions to take, and how we at MONLIS ensure maximum skin protection during the procedure.

1. What Are Moles and Why Are They Sensitive?

Moles (medically called nevi) are benign clusters of pigmented skin cells. They vary in shape, size, and color. While most are harmless, they can be sensitive to friction, pulling, or irritation – especially during hair removal.

That’s why with any depilation method, moles should always be protected or avoided to prevent irritation, bleeding, or injury.

2. Is Sugaring Safe When You Have Moles?

Yes – sugaring can be performed even if moles are present, as long as certain precautions are followed. Compared to waxing or shaving, sugaring is gentler because:

• The sugar paste adheres only to hair and dead skin cells

• It is applied warm and free of chemicals

• It doesn’t pull or stress deeper skin layers

Important: During treatment, moles are either avoided or carefully covered to prevent contact with the paste.

3. When Should You Be Extra Cautious?

Not all moles are the same. Some may be raised, sensitive, or have unusual shapes or colors. Sugaring should be avoided – or a dermatologist consulted first – in cases such as:

• Moles with irregular borders or changing pigmentation

• Recently appeared or rapidly growing moles

• Bleeding, irritated, or raised moles

• History of skin cancer or atypical nevi

At MONLIS Studio, we always examine your skin beforehand. If anything is unclear, we recommend consulting a dermatologist before the procedure.

4. How Is the Treatment Performed at MONLIS Studio?

Before starting, our experienced estheticians carefully examine the skin and moles. The process includes:

1. Skin assessment and consultation
   – Discussing sensitivities and skincare routine

2. Protection measures
   – Covering or avoiding any suspicious or raised moles

3. Application of sugar paste
   – Applied in the direction of hair growth, removed against it

4. Post-treatment care
   – Applying soothing lotions and providing home-care advice

This ensures maximum safety and skin comfort.

5. Aftercare for Clients with Moles

If you have moles, we recommend the following aftercare:

• Avoid direct sun or tanning beds for 24–48 hours

• Do not use harsh products (peels, perfumes, alcohol) on the treated area

• Avoid friction or tight clothing

• Monitor your moles – consult a dermatologist if you notice changes

At MONLIS Studio, we also provide personalized aftercare instructions upon request.

6. Why Sugaring Is Often the Best Option

Compared to waxing, shaving, or epilation, sugaring is often the safest choice for people with sensitive skin or skin irregularities like moles because:

• The paste is 100% natural (sugar, water, lemon)

• No heat or chemicals that could irritate the skin

• The treatment is gentle and precise

That’s why MONLIS Studio recommends sugaring for clients with sensitive or mole-prone skin.

Having moles does not mean you have to give up on hair removal. In fact, sugaring is a safe and effective method when performed with the right technique and professional care. What matters most:

• Proper skin evaluation by trained staff

• Tailored treatment to your skin type

• Gentle and hygienic execution

At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we follow the highest safety standards and provide personalized care – so you can enjoy smooth skin with confidence.
