Threading hair removal
What is it
Threading, also known as threading, is a very effective technique for eliminating all hair from any area of the body, such as the face or bikini line, without leaving the skin irritated, bruised or red, which is common with the use of other techniques such as waxing or shaving, in addition to delaying hair growth and reducing the need for frequent waxing sessions.
Indications
Removal of facial hair, such as upper lip, eyebrows and chin;
Small or sensitive areas of the body;
For those looking for more precise and natural hair removal.
Benefits
Waxing with cotton thread is suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive skin and has several advantages, such as:
It is a very hygienic technique;
Does not cause sagging in the shaved area of the body;
It does not leave the skin stained, swollen and red, and if it is slightly reddened it usually disappears after about 15 minutes;
The technique can be used when the hair is still very short;
Slows down hair growth, making it increasingly weaker;
It does not cause pain, just a small pinching sensation;
It does not cause allergies, because no chemicals are used;
It does not cause the appearance of pimples, cuts or burns on the skin.
Contraindications
People with very sensitive or irritated skin;
Injuries or inflammation in the area to be waxed;
Not recommended for very dry or damaged skin areas.
How is done
The professional uses a cotton thread that is twisted and, with quick movements, removes the hair from the root. The technique is precise and allows you to shape eyebrows and remove facial hair efficiently.
Peridity
Depending on hair growth, usually every 3 to 4 weeks.
Care
Threading is a delicate and precise technique, ideal for sensitive areas such as the face, especially eyebrows and upper lip. Although it is less aggressive than other forms of hair removal, it can leave the skin temporarily sensitive, especially in people with fair or sensitive skin.
Avoid touching or rubbing the waxed area for the first few hours, as the pores will be open and susceptible to the entry of impurities or bacteria.
Do not wet the area for the first 6 to 8 hours to preserve the integrity of the newly waxed skin and prevent irritation.
Avoid applying makeup, sunscreen with alcohol or any cosmetics to the area for at least 12 hours.
Use soothing, fragrance-free lotions, such as thermal water or aloe vera gel, to alleviate any redness.
Avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours, as the skin can easily become stained during this period.
Follow the recommended interval for touch-ups as instructed by the professional, respecting the natural hair growth time.
Do not wet the hair for the first 24 hours.
Retouch as instructed by the professional.
Comments
Threading is a method best suited for those looking for precision, especially for eyebrow shaping, and may cause slight temporary redness to the skin after the procedure.
