You might have heard of threading- in recent years it has become a very popular cosmetic treatment in many Western countries.
However, threading is in fact a very old beauty technique which originated in Asia and goes back as far as ancient Egypt. Despite being a millennia-old method, it is perfectly suited to today’s beauty aesthetics. Here at Aesthete Beauty in Dundee, we recommend threading for both men and women.
What Exactly is Threading?
Threading is an ancient method of hair removal that uses a thin thread- usually cotton or polyester- to roll over and twist unwanted hair, and remove it from the follicle. Whereas tweezing can only remove one hair at a time, with threading, several hairs can be removed at once in a precise, sharply-defined line. This means threading is known for its precision, as well as for the fact that skin contact is minimal, with no chemicals or waxes needed- a great choice if you have sensitive skin.
Benefits of Eyebrow and Facial Threading Treatment
- Precise Shaping – Threading allows for accurate shaping of eyebrows or removing unwanted hair from the face. With threading we can target individual hairs or sharp and precise lines, to ensure clearly-defined and shaped eyebrows.
- Results That Last Longer – Because threading pulls out hair from the root itself, regrowth takes longer, giving you smoother skin for longer. While results will vary between individuals, you can expect results to last from two to as long as six weeks.
- Chemical Free – Threading is entirely natural and does not use any artificial chemicals, waxes, creams or invasive techniques. It’s the perfect choice if you prefer a more hypoallergenic and organic approach to hair removal and beauty in general.
- Ideal For Those With Sensitive Skin – Since threading doesn’t use chemicals or other substance, and because contact with the skin itself is minimal, it’s well-suited to those with sensitive skin. This is particularly true if you’re generally prone to allergic reactions or acne from creams and waxes.
- Fast and Efficient Results – Threading typically takes between five and fifteen minutes (depending upon the area being worked on and the level of growth). This makes it convenient to fit your beauty maintenance routine into a busy schedule.
- Reduced Redness and Irritation – Customers opting for threading typically experience minimal irritation and redness compared to those opting for other methods of hair removal.
- Hygienic – New thread is used for each client
- More Skin-Friendly – Since threading doesn’t require chemicals, hot wax or other substances that might irritate the skin, it’s far less likely to have side effects such as burning, hyperpigmentation or other skin damage.
