Get answers to common questions about Cheekbone.

Most Cheekbone waxes take about five to ten minutes. We cleanse the area, apply wax precisely, and soothe skin with calming gel. Arrival time for consultation and possible aftercare adds a few extra minutes to your appointment.

Some mild discomfort is normal, but the quick, small-area technique minimizes pain. Our licensed estheticians use skin support and pre-wax soothing to reduce sensation. Pain usually subsides quickly, and most clients describe it as brief and manageable.

Clean skin free of makeup or heavy creams is best. Avoid retinoids, chemical exfoliants, or strong treatments 48 hours prior. Hair should be about quarter-inch long for effective gripping. If unsure, ask us during booking for personalized prep tips.

Most clients return every three to six weeks, depending on individual hair growth and desired smoothness. Regular waxing often reduces regrowth rate over time. We can recommend a personalized schedule during consultation to match your hair cycle and lifestyle.

Yes, often, but we assess skin beforehand. For sensitive or acne-prone areas we perform a patch test and use gentle wax and calming products. If active breakouts or inflamed lesions are present, we may recommend delaying or choosing a gentler hair removal method.

Avoid direct sun, hot showers, saunas, and heavy sweating for 24 to 48 hours. Skip exfoliation and retinoids for two days. Apply a soothing, fragrance-free gel or aloe and keep the area clean. Avoid makeup on the waxed zone for a few hours to reduce irritation.
