Get answers to common questions about Lip Wax.

Most Lip Wax appointments at Ametrine take about 10 to 15 minutes from consultation to aftercare. Timing depends on sensitivity and required soothing treatments; arrive makeup-free for faster, more comfortable service.

No — waxing removes hair from the root, so regrowth generally appears finer and softer over time with regular treatments. Initial regrowth can feel stubbly, but consistent waxing reduces density and avoids the blunt ends caused by shaving.

Some sensitivity is normal, but our technicians use quick strips, proper tension, and calming pre- and post-wax treatments to minimize pain. We apply cooling serums and advise breathing techniques to reduce discomfort during the brief procedure.

Ensure hair is about a quarter inch long, exfoliate gently 24 to 48 hours prior, and avoid strong retinoids for at least one week. Clean, makeup-free skin helps wax adhere and reduces irritation for a smoother result.

Results typically last three to six weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles and hormonal factors. Regular appointments can extend intervals between services as hair thins, and following aftercare recommendations helps maintain smoothness longer.

Avoid waxing if you have active cold sores, sunburn, open wounds, severe acne, or are using exfoliating treatments like chemical peels or strong retinoids recently. Discuss medications and skin conditions during consultation for safe, personalized service.
