What is threading?
Threading is an ancient method of hair removal still used in many countries
in the Middle East as well as India.
It is used to give clean lines and good shape to the eyebrows and also remove
hair from the up
How does threading work?
100% cotton thread is twisted and rolled along the surface of the skin
entwining the hair in the thread which is then lifted out from the follicle.
How long before hair returns after threading?
About the same as with tweezing, anywhere between 3 and 8 weeks.
How does threading affect the skin?
The effects of threading are less than with other hair removal methods such
as tweezing, waxing or sugaring. The skin may get a little red and sore but
only a slight pinch is felt as a relatively large area is covered each time.
Unlike waxing or the use of depilatories, irritation and skin rashes are
avoided with threading as the top layer of dead skin is not stripped off in
the process .
What is the best alternative for people who are taking Retin-A,
Accutane, and other similar products?
Threading is highly recommended and an excellent
option. Do not use wax hair removal
systems or have any skin resurfacing procedures (such as dermabrasion or
laser treatment) performed while taking this type of medicine and for six
months following treatment due to the possibility of scarring.
