Upper Lip Wax: What Is It?
Waxing of the upper lip is the specific process of removing unwanted facial hair from the skin above the upper lip by applying a hard wax to the area and quickly removing the wax to remove the hair. The wax adheres to the hair and when the wax is removed, it pulls the hair out from the roots.
The process is relatively quick and is often considered to be less painful than other methods of hair removal such as tweezing or threading. The upper lip waxing service is a popular hair removal method for those who want a smooth and hair-free upper lip area.
It’s also important to note that pre and post-wax care should be taken to ensure the least irritation and best outcome (which we outline below).
Upper Lip Wax: What Does It Do?
When you wax your upper lip, you're removing the hair from the area between your nose and upper lip as well as the corners of the lip.
Like with other forms of waxing, waxing the hair above the upper lip completely removes the entire hair follicle from the area, ensuring that it takes longer for the hair to grow back.
This procedure may be brief and very painless, although some redness and discomfort may follow.
The Benefits of An Upper Lip Wax
One of the most significant benefits of waxing your upper lip versus shaving it or applying a cream is that the effects will last longer. So, with waxing, there's no need to bring out the razor multiple times a week just to deal with that dreaded, unsightly mustache problem.
Additionally, unlike with shaving, you won't have to deal with the potential painful nicks or cuts near your mouth or the possible skin irritation from chemicals in hair removal creams.
1. Smooth, hairless skin: One of the main benefits of an upper lip wax is that it removes unwanted hair, leaving the skin on your upper lip smooth and hairless.
2. Long-lasting results: The effects of an upper lip wax can last for several weeks, meaning you don't have to worry about unwanted hair growth as often.
3. Precise hair removal: Waxing allows for precise hair removal, making it a good option for shaping and defining the upper lip area.
4. Cost-effective: Waxing can be a cost-effective option for hair removal compared to other methods such as laser hair removal or electrolysis.
5. Reduces hair growth: Regular waxing can help reduce hair growth over time and make hair thinner and weaker.
6. Convenience: It can be done at home or in a salon, and it can be done quickly and relatively painlessly.
7. Aesthetically pleasing: A hairless upper lip can be aesthetically pleasing and can give you a clean and polished look.
Upper Lip Wax: The Process
Now that you know what upper lip waxing is and what it does and treats, let's discuss the process of getting an upper lip wax treatment.
To ensure that you get the best possible experience from your upper lip wax service, below are the best practices to use before and after your treatment and what to expect during the wax treatment.
-
To ensure a smooth upper lip hair removal experience, avoiding these things within the below-referenced time frames is essential.
Before Your Upper Lip Wax Treatment
A week before the treatment stop using high-strength Vitamin A that you apply topically to your face. If you’re on acne medications, whether topically applied or taken orally it’s recommended to wait 6 months to a year.
It's imperative not to get any type of facial waxing if either of these situations applies to you since waxing and high-strength Vitamin A and acne medications can cause severe adverse reactions such as lifted skin.
Two Weeks Before Your Upper lip Wax Treatment
Don't get facial treatments such as chemical peels, laser, microdermabrasion treatments, or facial fillers and injectables. Additionally, don't apply topical creams containing retinol, hydroquinone, or steroids.
One Week Before Your Upper Lip Wax Treatment
Don't use any facial products with BHA or AHA in them, facial scrubs, or excessive/rough facial scrubbing.
The Day of Your Upper Lip Wax Treatment
When getting an upper lip or full facial wax treatment at Rejuvenate You, ensure that you arrive barefaced and without any makeup.

Below are the typical steps you'll experience during an upper lip wax treatment.
Step 1
You'll be asked to lie down in a comfortable position so that your esthetician can evaluate the hair needing removal.
Step 2
Your esthetician will cleanse your face to remove any oils, sunscreen, or moisturizers to ensure a clean canvas for the wax.
Step 3
Your esthetician will then go over the process and let you know what to expect; they'll also ask you about your preferences and experiences with waxing to ensure that you're both on the same page.
Step 4
Finally, your esthetician will apply the wax to the upper lip area, and once ready, the esthetician will quickly remove the wax in one pull, and you will be hair free!
-
Ensure that you avoid these situations and things to protect your skin after your upper lip wax. For example, during the 24 hours following the wax removal procedure, avoid direct sunlight, wearing makeup, touching your face too often, and applying exfoliators or scrubs on your face.
Also, avoid swimming in pools with chlorine and any lotions or moisturizers with fragrances and alcohol.
The skin above the upper lip is sensitive, and a slight redness immediately following the treatment is normal. However, it should go away within a few hours but applying something cool like ice to the area or a facial roller cooled in the fridge will help lessen the redness.
Because your facial skin is thinner than the skin on your body, it tends to be more sensitive, and following these guidelines is essential.
Aftercare Instructions
Do’s
Chill out: Give your skin some time to recover from the waxing process. Avoid strenuous physical activity or sun exposure for at least 24 hours.
Exfoliate with care: Gently exfoliate the waxed area 2-3 times a week to keep those pesky ingrown hairs at bay.
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate: Moisturize the area daily to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.
Cool it down: If redness or irritation occurs, a cool compress or aloe vera gel will be your skin's best friend.
Don’ts
Stay away from heat: Hot showers, hot tubs, saunas, and swimming are a no-go for at least 24 hours after waxing.
Nix the nasties: Avoid any products that contain alcohol, fragrances, or dyes on the treated area.
Cover up: Avoid tight clothing and direct sun exposure for at least 24 hours to prevent any irritation.
Resist the urge to pick: Don't pick or scratch the treated area, as this can lead to infection and scarring.
