Love Your Brows: How to Get the Best Out of Waxing & Threading

Both waxing and threading are popular options for achieving a perfect smooth finish to your eyebrows. Waxing treatments have become increasingly adaptable, which means that they can be customised to suit any kind of skin type or desired eyebrow shape. The treatment involves applying a thin layer of warm wax to the desired eyebrow area before quickly pulling it off in the opposite direction of hair growth, removing more than one strand at once. The result is often thicker-looking brows with less dark hairs visible that last up to four weeks depending on how fast your regrowth is.

Threading is an age-old technique used by traditional beauty salons around the world and especially in India and the Middle East. It works in much the same way as tweezing but uses a thin loop of cotton thread instead to grasp even the smallest hairs, making it ideal for getting precise shapes with clean lines.

Now that you have an idea of what the two procedures are, here’s a guide to their benefits and tips on how to get the most out of these hair removal techniques.

Benefits of both Waxing & Threading

Waxing is usually a more popular choice among women because it pulls out larger sections of hairs without much fuss, making it quicker and easier to manage. The wax can also be warmed up to the desired temperature which makes the application more comfortable than some other techniques. Waxing results can last anywhere from 4-6 weeks before new growth will start to appear.

Threading, on the other hand, is great for those with sensitive skin or who are prone to breakouts as thread removes hair directly at the root level eliminating any potential irritation that may come with waxing. Compared to waxing, threading results tend to last longer (up to 8 weeks in some cases) and can be used on even the most delicate areas like facial features such as eyebrows or upper lips since it doesn’t require any type of product like creams or gels in order to remove hair. Threading is great for definition and offers superior control over shape and symmetry when removing unwanted hairs from a given area.

Despite being painful for some people, threading generally results in smoother brows without any redness or irritation afterwards and also lasts longer than wax as hair regrowth takes approximately three weeks or more.

Tips on how to get the best out of waxing & threading:

Prepare prior to your appointment

Before going for your appointment, it is important to ensure that the skin around the area being treated is thoroughly cleaned. A gentle cleanser can be used to remove makeup, oils, and any other impurities that may cause irritation or block the laser or light facial energy from effective work on the skin. In addition to cleaning your skin, you should also allow enough time for the appointment — usually at least an hour — so that the aesthetician has enough time to fully complete the process without rushing through different steps and potentially pulling too hard at delicate areas of your face which could result in discomfort afterwards.

It is also important to inform your aesthetician about any existing medical conditions such as diabetes that could potentially increase your risk for complications from certain treatments such as laser facials. This will enable them to take extra precautions such as using lower energy settings on the machine if necessary. It is also important that you remain honest throughout your entire discussion with your provider in order to get the best results possible – so be sure to tell them about allergies and reactions that you have experienced in the past while undergoing similar procedures.

Finally, ensure that you follow all instructions given by your aesthetician both before and after treatment. Wearing loose clothing following laser facial treatments can really help reduce irritation from friction against fabric on newly treated skin. Also keep any prescribed post-treatment products handy and apply them diligently according to instructions for optimal results.

Avoid heat

Sunlight can interact with some creams and lotions used in many medical spas, creating temporary discoloration on treated areas as well as decreasing the effectiveness of treatments overall. Protecting your skin from UV rays by using SPF 30+ sunscreen should suffice if you must be outdoors during this time; additionally, make sure to wear wide-brimmed hats and other protective apparel.

Making sure these steps are completed prior to your appointment will not only give good results but also minimise any potential risks associated with either procedure.

Know your routine

Scheduling body waxing and threading appointments can be a bit tricky since hair growth cycles for different areas of the body vary. Before having regular waxing or threading treatments, it is important to get to know your body’s routine so you’ll know when to schedule your next appointment.

Most people will find that they need to book waxing appointments every three to four weeks in order to maintain smooth, hairless skin without noticeable stubble growing in between treatments. For example, those who get eyebrow waxes may need an appointment once a month while those who get bikini waxes may need them every three weeks. Threading appointments are typically needed more frequently than waxing due to differences in how both methods remove hair.

It’s also important to be aware of any physical changes or medical conditions that could affect the frequency or effectiveness of your regular treatments. Being on certain medications could slow down the speed of hair regrowth and require less frequent appointments in between sessions. Just like pregnancy, menopause, and hormonal fluctuations, these can all cause changes in the rate of hair regrowth and therefore should be taken into account when scheduling your next appointment.
