Is Waxing / Threading safe for sensitive facial skin?

Yes. At E SKIN Forte we assess skin type and choose gentle waxes or threading techniques suited to sensitivity. Pre-treatment consultation, patch tests when needed, and soothing aftercare minimize irritation. Inform staff about allergies or active conditions before treatment.

How long does Waxing / Threading hair removal last?

Results vary by area and hair growth cycles; most clients enjoy smooth skin for two to six weeks. Facial threading can appear to regrow more slowly for fine hair, while body waxing may last longer. Regular maintenance extends intervals.

Will Waxing / Threading cause acne or breakouts?

Proper technique and hygiene reduce acne risk. Our therapists cleanse and pre-treat the skin, use clean tools or single-use products, and apply antiseptic and soothing formulas post-treatment. Active acne may require tailored care or a delay in treatment.

How should I prepare before a Waxing / Threading appointment?

Allow hair to be at least 3–5 mm for effective removal, avoid retinoids or harsh exfoliants 48–72 hours prior, and inform us about medications or skin conditions. Clean, product-free skin yields the best and safest results.

What aftercare is recommended following Waxing / Threading?

Avoid hot showers, saunas, intense exercise, and heavy makeup for 24 hours. Apply soothing aloe or recommended gel to calm skin, wear loose clothing for body waxing, and gently exfoliate after a few days to prevent ingrown hairs.

Can Waxing / Threading treat all facial hair types?

Threading works very well on fine and coarse facial hair and creates crisp brow shapes; waxing removes short to coarse hairs over larger areas. Very fine vellus hair can be challenging; we’ll recommend the best method for your hair type and skin.

It’s been a couple years since I know Gigi and Emilie! My sister introduced me to their clinic after experiencing folliculitis and back acne. I’m so happy a clinic like Emilie’s is around because they really do a thorough consult to see what’s going on with your body, they dive into the root cause of acne instead of what dermatologists and doctors do by prescribing oral medication. Their acne bootcamp is a life saver, so much effort and detail is put into every session I go to and my skins always feels so much better after each session! Getting clear skin is a step by step process but if you’ve been struggling for a long time, I highly, highly recommend you check both Gigi and Emilie out! Fantastic customer service, calm and clear environment, and so much effort put into every patient. My skin has cleared up so much in just a couple visits and both Gigi and Emilie treat me like I’m family, love them both so much and extremely grateful to them both! Thank you guys for helping me and taking time out for me and giving me such wonderful care🥹♥️...more

My experience at E Skin Forte has been amazing. I’ve been working with Emilie since I first started treatment for cystic acne a few years ago, and her expertise has been pivotal to understanding and caring for my skin in a way I never had before. She and Gigi have been beside me every step of the way as I have navigated through several health conditions that have impacted my skin. At the time, no other provider I had seen was willing to take the time to address concerns regarding my skin and find a resolution the way that they have. Where some providers saw frivolity when I voiced concerns regarding my acne, Emilie and Gigi saw something that was important to me. They are extremely knowledgeable, and provided support and guidance that positively impacted my skin and my health and wellness overall. I have been working with Gigi for over a year now and she is consistently kind, patient, and open to listening and working through all of my concerns, as well as happy to celebrate the small victories along the way to achieving clearer skin and a healthier me. I cannot recommend working with this team enough, they have truly made a significant difference in my life and I am so grateful for them....more

I came into this clinic as a student in college around six months ago in December having severe acne with cysts and inflammation. I started working with Gigi, and she has been an EXCELLENT specialist (and encourager and coach too!) and has significantly reduced my acne and inflammation to the point where my skin is now shining and clearer.

The clearer face is one thing, but what I really appreciate is the level of guidance they've given me in my nutrition too. I feel like I've gotten a lot healthier, and Gigi has been really helpful in helping tailor my diet to have clearer skin as well. I also had no idea how much my hormones, stress, and sleep were affecting my acne, and they educated me on that too.

So super grateful for Gigi and this clinic and would definitely recommend anyone with severe acne to check out working with her! She’ll take care of you! 🙌...more

I truly can’t recommend Gigi enough, she goes above and beyond and has been an incredible support throughout my journey ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I struggled with hormonal and comedonal acne for 7 years and saw dermatologists twice, but both times I was prescribed harsh actives that damaged my skin barrier and made my skin even more sensitive. After my first visit here, I enrolled in their Acne Bootcamp, followed the recommended diet, and committed to bi-weekly treatments. The results have been amazing, my comedonal acne cleared, and my skin is now so much healthier after 2 months. Even after the bootcamp, my skin is still good by keep using their products. Their products are also excellent for acne-prone skin, which gives me complete peace of mind knowing I’m using the right skincare.

If you’re struggling with acne and feel like nothing has worked, I highly, highly recommend giving them a try. It truly made a difference for me....more

As a woman of color that struggled with hyperpigmentation from sabotaging my pimples like Dr. Pimple Popper. Emily and her amazing team got my skin all the WAY together. Finding an esthetician that understands dark skin is already hard enough in NOVA. Not only does she focus on your skin issue but she also talks about nutrition, and using the Ice method, it works. Give yourself patience and within 6 months to a year, you’ll reap the rewards. My journey to glass skin has been a gradual process and not a marathon. I love it here....more

Waxing & Threading Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common queries about procedure, preparation and post-care for waxing and threading.

Will waxing or threading cause my skin to break out?

Both can cause reactions if skin is sensitive or hygiene is poor. We perform pre-screening, use sterile tools, and apply soothing post-care to reduce breakouts. Avoid exfoliation and harsh products immediately after. For acne-prone or inflamed skin, we will recommend a tailored method instead.

How long does hair stay away after waxing or threading?

Typically hair remains smooth for three to six weeks depending on area and individual growth cycle. Facial hair often returns sooner than body hair. Regular appointments can weaken follicles and produce finer regrowth. Hormones, medication and genetics affect timing, so we tailor scheduling to your needs.

Is threading or waxing better for sensitive skin?

Both methods can be adapted for sensitive skin; threading uses no chemicals and offers high precision, while gentle wax formulas remove larger areas quickly. We assess skin sensitivity, recommend a patch test, and choose a method or combination to minimize irritation and ensure the most comfortable result.

How should I prepare before my waxing or threading appointment?

Arrive with clean, dry skin free of oils or heavy products. For waxing, hair should be about a quarter-inch long; threading needs visible growth. Avoid exfoliation, chemical peels or retinoids two days prior, and skip sunbeds or heavy tanning to prevent irritation.

Will hair grow back thicker or darker after treatment?

Contrary to myth, waxing and threading do not make hair grow back thicker or darker; hair is removed from the root and often regrows finer over time. Hormonal changes can alter hair density. If you notice unusual growth, we’ll evaluate causes and recommend appropriate treatment options.

How do you treat immediate post-treatment redness or irritation?

Minor redness and bumps are normal. We apply calming antiseptic gels, cool compresses and recommend fragrance-free soothing creams or aloe. Avoid hot baths, heavy exercise and exfoliation for twenty-four to forty-eight hours, and use SPF when exposed. Contact us if swelling, severe pain or pus develops.
