Your Questions On Eyebrow Threading, Answered

Your Questions On Eyebrow Threading, Answered is available on Anti-Aging and Beauty Spa - Jiva

There are many different ways to remove unwanted body hair, but one of the most unique is eyebrow threading.

While it’s been practiced all over the world for centuries, it’s a fairly new phenomenon here in Canada. So if you have some unwanted body hair and are wondering if threading is right for you, read on!

First Things First. What Is Eyebrow Threading Anyway?

Eyebrow threading is a technique used to remove excess hair from the area around the eyebrows. While we can’t pin down a specific date, most agree that it has its origins in Central Asia, near modern India, and has been practiced for thousands of years.

Less painful than waxing, less invasive than laser hair removal, quicker than tweezing, and longer lasting than shaving, many people feel eyebrow threading is the ideal method of shaping your eyebrows.

How Does Eyebrow Threading Work?

Threading works by twisting two cotton threads together. When this is done over a hair, the threads grab onto the hair. Then when the thread is pulled away, the hair is pulled with it.

Does Eyebrow Threading Hurt?

Because you’re pulling your hairs out by the root, it can cause mild discomfort. The feeling is no worse, however, than plucking your eyebrows, less painful than laser hair removal, and significantly less painful than waxing.

Can I Get Other Areas Threaded Too?

In theory, you can use threading on any part of your body. But because the process works by targeting individual hairs, it’s not efficient to use it on areas with a larger amount of hair, like your legs or underarms. It’s mostly used for eyebrows, the upper lip, chin, cheeks, or neck where unwanted hair tends to be sparser.

Is Threading Better Than Other Hair Removal Methods?

Because threading is so precise, it can be more effective at treating smaller areas. It’s also easier to get elegant brow curves which frame your face through threading than by any other means of hair removal.

But the drawback to it being so precise is that doing it by yourself can lead to removing the wrong hairs, leaving gaps in your brows that you didn’t want. Of course, the eyebrow threading experts here at Jiva Spa Toronto are trained to avoid such errors.

Of course, it’s also less painful than waxing. Because waxing can often tear at your skin as well as the hairs it’s removing, it can cause irritation as well as increased pain. But threading’s precision allows you to target just the hairs while avoiding the skin around it.

And shaving is far from ideal on a woman’s face. While it’s a myth that shaved hairs grow back thicker, they often appear thicker because the smooth, tapered end has been cut so when they grow back the thickest part grows out first. This can leave an appearance of actual stubble, which is not something any lady wants to deal with!

Is Threading Okay If I Have Acne?

Yes, threading is fine for people with acne. In fact, threading is among the best facial treatments to use for those with acne. If you’re unsure, though, you can always come in for a consultation first.

Is Threading Okay If I Have Sensitive Skin?

Yes. Because threading is so much less invasive than other hair removal methods, it’s perfectly safe for sensitive skin. You might get a bit of redness around the area, but this should disappear after an hour or so. If you have extra sensitive skin, let us know.

How Should I Prepare For Eyebrow Threading?

Just make sure your hairs are above the skin. The fuller your brows are at this point, the better – that way we can see their natural shape and give you the best recommendation for nicely shaped brows.
