THREADING IS AN ANCIENT HAIR REMOVAL TECHNIQUE THAT "ORIGINATED IN THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT, AND SPREAD TO THE MIDDLE AND FAR EAST" THAT HAS RECENTLY BECOME VERY POPULAR IN WESTERN COUNTRIES. [Wikipedia]
Threading utilizes a piece of cotton thread to remove unwanted hair from the follicle. Much like waxing, however, it's much more sanitary, and less irritating to the skin. THREADING is a great alternative for persons with sensitive skin, take Accutane or Retin-A or similar. Some clients state that it feels less uncomfortable than other methods as well. On the other hand, some clients state that it's more uncomfortable than other methods because you may feel a little "pinch" as the hair is removed. A great idea is to allow me to test a small area of the brow or facial hair to be removed to see if you are comfortable with the feeling .
Enjoy your Threading!!! The results usually last 3 weeks or MORE!!!
WAXING is a method of semi-permanent hair removal which removes the hair from the root. New hairs will not grow back in the previously waxed area for two to eight weeks. Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including eyebrows, face, bikini area, legs, arms, back, abdomen and feet. If waxing is done regularly for several years, permanent hair reduction may be achieved.[wikipedia]
Waxing is accomplished by spreading a wax thinly over the skin. A cloth or paper strip is then pressed on the top and ripped off with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth. Another method utilizes hard wax (as opposed to strip wax). In this case, the wax is applied somewhat thickly and with no cloth or paper strips. The wax then hardens when it cools, thus allowing the easy removal by a therapist without the aid of cloths. This waxing method is very beneficial to people who have sensitive skin.
Waxing is an effective method to remove large amounts of hair at one time. Hair will not grow back for two to eight weeks. Areas that are repeatedly waxed over long periods of time often exhibit regrowth that is softer. Waxing is not recommend waxing for persons suffering from diabetes or who have varicose veins or poor circulation as they are more susceptible to infection. Users of Retin-A, Renova, Differin or Isotretinoin are advised not to have waxing performed; these medications tend to weaken the skin and tearing of the skin may occur when the wax is removed. Waxing should not be done on areas of skin affected by warts, pimples, moles or rashes or on skin that is irritated, chapped or suffering from sunburn. Never apply wax to peeling, broken skin or varicose veins. Women may experience greater sensitivity to pain during the week before menstruation. For this reason, it is recommend that women schedule waxing appointments for the week after menstruation, when pain tolerance is generally at its highest. People with medical problems such as diabetes, chronic kidney or liver disease, skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis, or weakened immune systems are advised not to get wax treatments at all.
