threading
Threading is most commonly used on eyebrows and is a natural method of hair removal. Our therapists use a twisted loop of 100% cotton thread rolled over the skin to grab and pull out unwanted hair by the root. The procedure is relatively quick, with eyebrow shaping usually taking only between 5 and 15 minutes to complete. Though the eyebrows are the most popular facial area to have threaded, the procedure is also frequently used to remove hair on the upper lip, and side of the face.
The benefits to choosing threading are numerous. The precise removal of the hairs (quite literally, one row at a time) allow for a much finer and more polished brow line than waxing would. Waxing also removes the top layer of skin, which makes threading a much more popular and less painful choice for sensitive facial areas. Many people report that they experience less pain, swelling, redness or irritation from threading than from waxing. A large number describe feeling no lasting pain at all. Because many hairs are pulled simultaneously, threading is also a much faster method than tweezing. People with sensitive skin, or those taking Retin-A or Acutane also tend to find that threading is less painful and the irritation less long-lasting than waxing or plucking for hair removal.
