During your brow threading session, your artist will ask you to hold your lid closed with one hand and pull the top of your brow upward with the other. This will allow them to get a better angle at shaping your brows and, simultaneously, will hold your skin tight reducing any chances of pain during a skin snug.
Consider Numbing Cream
If you are concerned about discomfort during threading, apply a small amount of numbing cream on your eyebrows before your appointment. This cream can help reduce sensitivity in the area.
9. Soothe the area: Once the threading is complete, apply a soothing gel or cream to the eyebrow area to calm any redness or irritation. Aloe vera gel or a gentle moisturiser can work well for this purpose. Remember, threading can be a delicate process, and it may take some practice to achieve the desired results.

Yes, it is okay to use a small amount of EMLA cream on your eyebrows before threading to numb your skin.
To recap: Does threading hurt? A little. But less than other options and it's 100% worth it for the results you get. A few minutes of discomfort in return for weeks of beautiful brows and zero chemicals on the skin…
Do Use an Anesthetic. Some clients are simply much less tolerant to pain compared to others. A light application of a local anesthetic gel or cream will help prevent discomfort especially for those who will undergo threading for the first time.
Waxing is the more versatile option.
Threading works for removing unwanted hair in the brow and other facial areas, but really should not be booked for regions where coarser, abundant hair grows (aka, arms or legs). Many maintain waxing results last longer, keeping you tidy and groomed for around a month.
At a brow threading salon, you might experience a 6-7 out of 10 on the pain scale. Waxing between the brows usually rates slightly higher at 7-8 out of 10, making threading a potentially more comfortable option for this specific region.
Threading is a more precise hair removal technique than waxing or sugaring and slightly less precise than tweezing. Many people also find threading to be less painful. That's because the hair is removed so fast that your pain receptors can't keep up.
No, your hair will never grow in thicker or darker after threading. Since threading removes the hair from the root, your hair will become finer over time.
One to two weeks is typical. Some patients experience little to no pain after a thread lift; others experience moderate pain for up to two weeks.
Typically, the pain is minimal and limited to the area that is being threaded. To apply ink, needles are stuck into the skin during a tattoo, which can cause pain that lasts longer and is more intense than average.
Unlike waxing, which can irritate your skin, and painful plucking of those pesky brow hairs, eyebrow threading is the least painful way to shape and clean up your brows.
Avoid touching the treated area for 2-4 hours. No make-up or perfumed products should be applied for 2-4 hours. Avoid steam treatment or heat source like sun bathing / tanning beds, hot baths or sauna for at least 24 hours. Avoid swimming or spray tanning 24-48 hours post threading.
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.
Patients may experience infection, irritation, or asymmetry. One research study found that over 30% of patients experienced an infection after a thread lift. There is also the possibility of threads snapping or migrating, where the sutures break or shift out of place, creating an uneven appearance.
Use Aloe Vera Gel: Aloe vera has natural anti-inflammatory properties. Applying a thin layer of pure aloe vera gel can help calm the skin and reduce irritation. Avoid Makeup and Irritants: Refrain from applying makeup or using harsh skincare products on the threaded area for at least 24 hours.
