Results usually last 3-6 weeks depending on individual hair growth cycles and hormonal factors. Fine hair may regrow sooner. Regular appointments every 4-6 weeks maintain a smooth look; gentle exfoliation and sunscreen help prolong the appearance between sessions.

Mild redness or tenderness is common immediately after threading but usually subsides within hours. Breakouts are uncommon when performed hygienically; avoid touching, heavy creams, or makeup for 12-24 hours. We recommend soothing gels and notifying us of sensitive or acne-prone skin beforehand.

Arrive with clean, makeup-free cheeks and avoid heavy exfoliation or strong topical retinoids for 48 hours prior. If you take acne medications or have recent procedures, inform your technician. Hydrated skin responds better, so gentle moisturization is fine before your visit.

Most clients report brief, manageable discomfort as each hair is removed, but sensations are quick and localized. Threading avoids chemical irritation and pulls hair cleanly, often feeling less harsh than waxing for sensitive facial skin. We can offer aftercare to soothe the area.

We recommend waiting 12-24 hours before applying makeup to reduce irritation and infection risk. If you must, use clean, non-comedogenic products and gentle application. Keep brushes and tools sanitized, and remove makeup carefully at day's end to protect freshly threaded skin.

Maintenance typically falls every 3-6 weeks depending on personal growth rate and desired smoothness. After a few sessions your regrowth pattern becomes predictable and we can set a tailored schedule. Consistent appointments help maintain cleaner, finer regrowth over time.
