Top Lip Waxing

If hair on your top lip really bothers you then the options are bleaching, electrolysis or waxing. Bleaching is an ongoing process that needs to be done every couple of weeks. Electrolysis takes time, is permanent though costly, and can be a rather painful process on this area of the face. Waxing is another option that needs to be repeated once it has grown back enough but over time the hair usually thins out so that lip waxing becomes less frequent. It is important not to bleach in-between times as that can weaken the hair shaft so that it snaps!

Depending on your skin and how it reacts, the waxing can make you wince but it is soon over with, or maybe your skin will tingle a lot for a long five minutes afterwards and be red for an hour or so. Whatever the feeling, visually you will be left with a hair free area that can look very different. Below are before and after photographs of a client who has a top lip wax. In this case, the skin is barely pinkish in places five minutes after the procedure.

In these next set of pictures we can see the amount of re-growth after two weeks and the length of the hair. Despite the hair being relatively short it was still removed cleanly using the PhD Safewax.

A further two weeks later and we can see that the re-growth is already less than the previous two week re-growth.

Another two weeks two weeks later and there is very little re-growth on this side of the lip, however, unusually, the other side had more growth and warranted another waxing. After fortnightly waxing for the last eight weeks it is hoped we can leave re-waxing longer than the current two weekly schedule.

Sincere thanks to this client for letting me show these pictures. More photos will be taken and added so that we can see the re-growth and how long it takes it for this particular client. Please remember that results will vary for each person.
