Threading is a common facial hair removal technique that works well for upper lip hair removal as well. It is fairly less painful than waxing and gives similar results.

But, threading is more superficial than waxing, which means hair will grow back quicker.
Threading
The results can last longer than shaving or tweezing, plus this method doesn't cause ingrown hairs. Threading also doesn't involve chemicals. So, there's no risk of a skin reaction, although you may experience minor pain or discomfort as your technician removes hair from the follicles.
Lip threading is considered to be a safe procedure, provided that it's done by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
How Long Do Lip Thread Lift Results Last? The lip threads stay in your body for 6 months before they dissolve. The results last 1 to 3 years, depending on various factors. Lip thread lifts are approved by the FDA.
That said, over time, frequent threading can cause the hair follicle to stop growing hair (although, some might consider that an upside). If done incorrectly, the hairs could also break, which can lead to unevenness and ingrown hairs. It's important to find a good tech and avoid any DIY attempts at home.
The only way to permanently eliminate unwanted hair is a process called electrolysis. Electrolysis is performed by inserting a tiny needle into the hair follicle and using an electric current to kill the hair root.
Those with sensitive or aging skin find threading is less likely than waxing to cause wrinkles or skin pulling. Women often find that threading is also effective at removing stray hairs on the chin and upper lip also.
Threading lifts the hair from the follicle, therefore if it is done on a regular basis, it weakens the hair follicle so hair growth becomes less dense over time, and new hair will grow finer and sparser. Re-growth is between 2-4 weeks, depending on hair growth.
This depends on how quickly your hair grows, but threading will usually last around 2-3 weeks.
If she says something like her hair growth is too dense or she wants to do it for hygienic reasons we think 13-16 years is a good enough age for a teenager to get her first waxing or threading experience.
Lemon and honey paste
Salon goers will know just how potent honey is, when it comes to hair removal. The lemon and honey paste is just ideal for natural hair removal, without any risk of skin damage. All you need is half a tablespoon of lemon juice, one teaspoon of honey, and half a cup of hot water.
Considering the evidence, threading is a better, safer and more skin friendly option. Not only is it more skin friendly, but it also does not pull at it. Moreover there is no wax residue left over on your face (making it a much cleaner process) and the product used to remove the wax can sometimes cause skin irritation.
Waxing is a long-favored hair removal method that rids the face and body of unwanted peach fuzz. Known to last a good four weeks, all it requires is some hot wax (or waxing strips) and grit.
It's caused by excess hormones called androgens. For women, the hair may grow in places where men often have a lot of hair, but women often don't. This includes the upper lip, chin, chest, and back. It can run in families.
Complications: Although thread lift is considered minimally invasive, some sutures and cuts are required. There is still a risk of complications such as bruising, thread breakage, thread extrusion, fever, and infection.
Thread lifts are low risk, thanks to how noninvasive they are. There is virtually no risk of scarring, severe bruising, bleeding or other complications after having a thread lift. In rare cases, patients may experience irritation, infection or their sutures becoming visible under their skin.
Crooks adds that: “You should only thread hair you never want to see again. This is because when the thread wraps around the hair follicle, it breaks it off, causing damage to the follicle, meaning the hair may grow back curly, out of place, or not at all.”

With eyebrow threading, full regrowth takes place anywhere between two to six weeks depending on hair type. You may notice your hair growing back finer and more sparse after a few threading sessions. This is because your hair is repeatedly pulled out from the root which weakens it.
Electrolysis
An electrologist will insert a tiny probe into the hair follicle where a small electrical current will destroy both the hair and follicle. This damage prevents the hair from regrowing, so electrolysis removes hair permanently. Electrolysis is suitable for sensitive areas of skin, such as the upper lip.
