Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Threading / Lip.

Threading removes hair from the root, so results typically last two to six weeks depending on growth cycles. It is not permanent; regular sessions can slow regrowth and refine shape, but electrolysis or laser are required for permanent removal.

Most clients feel mild, brief discomfort similar to eyebrow threading. The procedure is quick and precise; therapists use gentle technique. We can apply soothing cooling gel afterwards and recommend avoiding heat or exfoliation for 24 hours to minimize irritation.

A standard lip threading appointment usually takes 10–20 minutes including brief consultation. Timing varies with hair density and shaping requests. Allow extra time for comfort, post-treatment advice, or if combined with other facial services.

Yes. Arrive with clean, makeup-free upper lip and avoid heavy exfoliation, retinoids or chemical peels for 48–72 hours prior. If you’ve recently waxed or used epilation, allow hair to regrow for at least two to three weeks for effective threading.

Use a cool compress and gentle, fragrance-free cleanser after treatment. Avoid makeup, saunas, intense exercise or exfoliation for 24–48 hours. Apply SPF daily to protect the delicate lip area and reduce irritation or pigment changes.

Threading can occasionally lead to ingrown hairs or temporary pigmentation if the skin is irritated or inflamed. Proper technique, gentle post-care, and avoiding friction reduce risks. If you’re prone to PIH, discuss preventative measures like SPF and topical calming agents with your therapist.
