Overview & Procedure

What the treatment is and how it's performed

What it is

The hairs on the upper lip are removed with wax, which takes them out at the root. The skin stays smooth for three to four weeks, and the hairs that grow back are often finer and softer than after shaving. The treatment is quick and is often done together with brow shaping or a chin wax.

  • Every three to four weeks, when the hairs have grown back.
  • Avoid plucking or shaving between treatments, so the rhythm holds.

  1. The practitioner cleanses the skin.
  2. The wax is applied in the direction of hair growth.
  3. The wax is pulled off quickly against the direction of growth.
  4. Hairs that are left are removed with tweezers, and the skin is soothed with a caring cream.

  • The hairs should be a few millimetres long, so the wax can grip.
  • Come without make-up on the area, if you can.
  • Avoid peels and scrubs on the face for the last few days before the appointment.

Experience & Recovery

Pain level, downtime and healing

It feels like a short sting that passes quickly. The skin on the face is thin, so it can smart a little straight afterwards.

  • Common: redness and small bumps around the follicles, which settle within hours.
  • Uncommon: small spots or ingrown hairs.
  • Rare: small sores if the skin lifts with the wax.

  • Avoid make-up and perfumed creams on the area for the rest of the day.
  • Use sunscreen on the area for the next few days.
  • Wait a couple of days before you use peels, scrubs or skincare with acids.

No downtime. The skin can be red for an hour or two. Avoid sun, saunas and exercise for the rest of the day.

Expectations & Safety

Who it's for and safety information

  • If you use retinoids or acids on your skin, or have taken tablets for acne in the last six months, tell the practitioner. The skin can then lift with the wax.
  • If you are going to have laser hair removal, do not wax for the last four weeks before the laser treatment.

  • Dark or visible hairs on the upper lip.
  • You who do not want to pluck or bleach the hairs yourself.

  • Sunburnt, damaged or irritated skin.
  • Eczema, wounds, inflamed spots or cold sores in the area.

Contact the clinic if you get blisters, sores, strong irritation or signs of infection, such as pus or increasing redness and warmth.

The skin is smooth straight away and stays so for three to four weeks. Regular waxing often makes regrowth thinner and sparser over time.
