Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about LIP.

Avoid exfoliating 48 hours prior, skip retinoids and harsh acids for a week, arrive with clean dry skin, and ensure hair is about 1/4 inch long. Communicate any allergies or medications so your esthetician can tailor the service.

When performed correctly, LIP waxing or sugaring should not darken skin. Mild temporary redness is normal; proper aftercare like cooling gels and avoiding sun exposure prevents irritation and hyperpigmentation. We recommend patch tests for sensitive skin.

Most clients enjoy smoothness for three to six weeks depending on individual hair growth patterns. Regular treatments can extend intervals and reduce density. We'll advise a personalized schedule during your consultation.

Sensation varies by person, but discomfort is brief and often less with sugaring. We use numbing-free techniques plus calming products, and experienced technicians ensure swift, gentle removal to minimize pain.

It's best to wait at least 12–24 hours before applying makeup to avoid trapping bacteria and irritating freshly treated skin. If necessary, use clean, non-comedogenic products and apply gently.

Typically schedule appointments every 3–6 weeks based on your growth cycle and desired maintenance. After several consistent sessions, many clients extend to longer intervals as hair becomes finer and sparser.
