What is Threading?

Threading is the traditional method for facial hair removal and eyebrow shaping practiced in Asia and the Middle East. A delicate procedure, it uses special cotton thread which is twisted and rolled along the surface of the skin to remove individual hairs from their follicle. It gives a clean and precise line with minimal skin irritation. An experienced skilled practitioner is required to perform this treatment effectively.

This method of hair removal is gentler than waxing and less painful than tweezing. It gives lovely, neat, smooth results, and allows a much more precise result than any other form of hair removal. It is also kinder to the more sensitive areas of facial skin. If the eyebrows are required to be shaped, threading is an excellent choice for achieving that perfect, classic eyebrow shape that everyone wants since it allows the practitioner closer access to each hair growth as it is done individually.

Threading is beneficial for people with sensitive skin as it does not cause breakouts, excessive redness or pigmentation like waxing or shaving can. This makes threading the most effective method of hair removal on the face for everyone especially since waxing hair on the face may damage the thin, delicate skin on the face, which inevitably leads to wrinkles in the long term.

Threading is a great method of hair removal for both women and men with excess hair and if done on a regular basis, threading weakens the hair follicle so hair growth becomes less dense over time.
