Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Lip Threading.

Results vary by individual but most clients enjoy smooth upper-lip skin for two to six weeks. Growth rate, hormones, and hair thickness influence timing; routine appointments help maintain consistent results and can gradually reduce regrowth density.

Many clients feel a brief sting or tugging sensation. Discomfort is usually mild and short-lived. To minimize sensitivity, avoid caffeine, breathe steadily, and consider a cold compress afterwards. Topical numbing is rarely necessary.

It's best to wait a few hours before applying makeup to reduce irritation or clogged pores. If you must, use lightweight, non-comedogenic products and apply gently. For sensitive skin wait 12 to 24 hours for optimal recovery.

Arrive with clean skin free of heavy makeup or oils. Avoid exfoliating, chemical peels, retinoids, or waxing in the 48 hours prior. Ensure hair is roughly 1-2 mm for the best threading results and faster treatment.

Common effects include mild redness, tiny bumps, or slight tenderness lasting a few hours up to 24 hours. Soothe with cool compresses or aloe. Contact us if you experience prolonged swelling, pus, or signs of infection.

Most clients return every three to six weeks depending on individual regrowth patterns. New clients may book sooner; regular appointments help maintain smoothness and can lead to finer, sparser regrowth over time.
