To recap: Does threading hurt? A little. But less than other options and it’s 100% worth it for the results you get. A few minutes of discomfort in return for weeks of beautiful brows and zero chemicals on the skin…

If you decide to wax your brows, it’s best to get them done only by a professional. This can reduce the risk of burns and skin irritation. Letting an esthetician wax your eyebrows can also help you avoid mistakes like uneven brows or taking out too much hair.

The process takes anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes for eyebrows and lasts anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. It is highly dependent on your natural hair growth cycle and if you are taking any supplements to increase hair growth or getting any procedures done to decrease it such as a laser.

Tweezing results in more defined brows as it removes the stray hairs strand by strand to give them a clean, precise look. Threading is able to remove even very fine hair strands. Threading is highly recommended for those who prefer a natural look.”

Out of all the methods of hair removal threading probably gives the best results for the time it takes and the cost – it leaves the same, smooth, month-long result as using hair removal cream except the hairs are (obviously) pulled out from the root so the results last longer.

How Often Should You Thread? While the rate of regrowth is individual, typically threading clients tend to get their eyebrows threaded every two to three weeks, says Dahiya. Because the process actually removes singular hairs from their roots, the results can last just as long as waxing.

Threading being a traumatic procedure can disturb epidermal-barriers function, rendering the eyebrow area more susceptible to inoculation and development of warts by seeding the virus. Pox virus may survive for longer time in environment.

Test out threading on your upper/lower lip and chin beforehand. This will allow you to see if you get any rashes or breakouts. If two weeks have passed and your skin hasn’t had any negative effects, feel free to thread your whole face!

When Will I See the Final Results? The final results of your PDO thread lift will be seen within one to two months of your treatment.

It’s the Gentlest Form of Hair Removal… Since only the hair is getting yanked—and skin isn’t an incidental casualty—there’s very little chance of irritation. “There’s no pulling or straining your skin,” says Feroz.
