Your skin is most likely just irritated. When you wax your eyebrows or lip there are oil glands that produce a lot of reddish bumps that look similar to pimples.
However you do not need to try to pop them. They are not filled with puss and other stuff like pimples are, and if you try to pop them it can lead to permanent scarring.
You can try using an avocado scrub, followed by an acetone and then a moisturizer. I prefer Aveeno and Jergens.
It may take a while but it will work. I used to get my eyebrows waxed all the time and I would always have hundreds of little tiny bumps everywhere, but when I tried this solution it worked every time.
I hope it works for you too!!

Yes it does hurt a bit, but it's really fast. It really shouldn't take anywhere near 15 minutes to wax your eyebrows and upper lip. The lip should take the shortest amount of time, but the eyebrow can take a bit longer, depending on how much shaping you need done. If they're good at what they do and not busy, you should be in and out within 15 minutes, 20 minutes at the absolute most. It would actually be faster than getting threaded because more surface area is covered with the wax and strips than with one pass with the thread, plus it's done faster. Waxing works by yanking the hair out, while threading is pulled out by a string gripping smaller clusters of hair. Hope that helped! Good luck!

Removing the hair folicle stimulates oil production. That is why you have the bumps on your face could have had a bad reaction to the type of wax they used. Next time try using toner to clear up the oil and ask them to use wax for senistive skin.

This happens because there are lots of oil glands there that are attached to nerve endings, which are easily irritated.
try dissolving two aspirins (aspirin acts as an anti-inflammatory) and a drop of glycerin in ¼ of a cup of distilled water in a small, clean bottle; apply the mixture after removing hair. Using an antiseptic cream to calm the skin can also be helpful.

Waxing and Threading methods are used for shaping eyebrows.
Threading is an old and inexpensive hair removal technique to shape eyebrows.

well when you get your eyebrows waxed i kno for a fact the hair being pulled create bumps, so it should do the same to your upper lip, it'll go away soon, dont worry.

The pores of your skin are just temporarily swollen due to the extraction of hair from the follicles. Don't worry, it comes back to normal in a bit.

Your skin is probably just irritated.
