i got my lip waxed about 2weeks ago for the first time, it was awful what else can i do 2 remove the hair?

Question

it left my lip big and ugly. the following day i had little bumps around my lip and its hurts really bad. theres got to be another way please help me. what can i do other than the wax and does anyone know how much laser would cost? what are my other options?

Answer 1

Laser removal is very costly, but I do have something that works wonders! I use a Nair product for facial hair. You can buy it at any store that sells personal care products, including Giant Eagle or other grocery stores. Go pick that up. You leave it on the hair for less than 10 minutes, and then you simply wipe it away. It's ridiculously simple. And, yes, it works.

Answer 2

That only will happen the first time unless you're allergic to the wax. You've just never been waxed before that and your skin wasn't used to it. Laser hair removal is very expensive and you have to have multiple visits. I'd guess it'd cost you upwards of $1000 to have all your lip hair removed. You could always shave or use Nair for the face.

Answer 3

Laser or electrology is defiantly a better way to go. When you wax blood rushes to the area and been your face it Carry's a large amount of testosterone so you are effectively feeding the problem. Bleaching or depilatory cream might be worth a try Hope this helps

Answer 4

1) Let the aesthetician know before you get waxed next time. She can let the wax cool a little before applying it and apply a cold compress afterwards.

2) Keep aloe vera, vitamin E oil or Aquaphor Healing Ointment on hand to sooth your upper lip afterwards.

3) Avoid caffeine 1-2 days before getting your upper lip waxed. Try to schedule it about 1.5-2 weeks before your period - you skin is most sensitive the week before your period.

Threading is a good alternative to waxing. For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyebrow_threading

Answer 5

Laser costs a bomb. I have had great success with Revitol hair removal cream. Cheap and side-effect free.... it might be your solution.

I found at this site:

Answer 6

You had a bad experience...Fund someone who uses ceraphil wax... the next time it will be better because the roots will not be so deep.

Answer 7

you could bleach it...I have never wax or bleached my lip........but I did catch my gramma hitting up her chin with my grampa's electric shaver once when I was 9....scarred me for life!
