Cleanse and avoid heavy moisturizers before arrival; refrain from retinoids or exfoliating acids 3-7 days if possible. Please notify your esthetician if you're using retinols, glycolic, salicylic acid, or Tretinoin so they can adjust treatment for safety and comfort.

You may feel brief discomfort during hair removal, but our estheticians use gentle techniques and soothing products to minimize pain. We recommend a patch test for very reactive skin and post-care to calm irritation, reducing redness within a few hours.

Results typically last two to six weeks depending on individual hair growth cycles and care routine. Regular waxing can lead to finer regrowth over time. Avoid exfoliating acids immediately after to prevent irritation and prolong smooth skin between appointments.

No—please notify your esthetician if you've used retinols, glycolic or salicylic acids, or Tretinoin. These exfoliating ingredients increase sensitivity and risk of damage. Your esthetician will advise appropriate waiting time or alternative hair removal to ensure safe, gentle treatment.

Avoid heat, heavy sweating, and exfoliants for 24-48 hours. Gently cleanse and apply calming lotion or aloe. Use saltwater soaks if needed and exfoliate lightly after several days to help prevent ingrown hairs. Contact us for concerns or unusual reactions.

When performed properly, lip waxing rarely causes scarring. However, very thin or compromised skin, aggressive treatments, or recent use of exfoliating acids increase risk. Inform your esthetician about any skin concerns, medications, or topical treatments before the appointment to ensure safe care.
