Eyebrow Threading Tips and Notes

·     Contraindications:  If the client is using Retin-A, do not put too much pressure on the skin with thread. Retin-A makes the skin very sensitive.  Wax is not to be used on the areas where they use Retin-A.       Use ice with low pressure to sooth the area. Even ice could burn the skin. Some redness of the skinafter the treatment it is normal.  Remove even small hairs gently.

If rash occurs: After threading procedure, some clients may complain of rash due to the thread being rubbed on the skin over and over again. If any bacteria gets into that area, it could cause a break out (rash). In order to avoid it in the future you should use Ozone to prevent the rash. Ozone disinfects the skin where you perform the threading. Every time you perform a threading procedure use the ozone treatment for 1 to 4 minutes depending on how large the threading area is.  (Example:  if you perform threading only on the upper part of the eyebrows, apply the Ozone for 40 seconds on each eyebrow. With this procedure the client will not break out.)

If the client complains of pain when you perform threading on the upper lip or on the facial area, apply ice to numb the area which will help to reduce the pain.

·     Complaints: The most common complaint will be the final shape of the eyebrow. Make sure you talk to the client before you start to the procedure and that you understand thoroughly about the shape the client wants.

·      
      Do not thread the same area repeatedly. If you repeat too much in one area,  the skin will redden and could bruise. Hold skin tight to avoid any cuts especially on the sides of the eyebrows because the skin will be sensitive.

Threading is safer than waxing.

·     Wax could burn the skin. Pulling skin with wax on the eyebrow area or on the face can cause aging because the facial and eye muscles are delicate. Threading does not pull the skin so it is safer on the muscles and on the skin.

Threading is better than tweezing.

·     Tweezing causes ingrown hair.  You cannot measure the shape as easily and most of the time the shape will not be perfect. Tweezing on the chin creates bumps caused by ingrown hair which can bleed.  By pulling the hair from the root, it supplies more blood to the follicle that will activate the root which causes twin papillas (two hairs from one root). It also activates the hair growth and thickness of the hair. Ingrown hair and bumps can be avoided by treating with threading. Hair growth is also reduced significantly.
