Before & Aftercare Tips for Facial Threading
Facial threading is one of the most precise, gentle, and effective hair removal methods available—especially for delicate areas like the eyebrows, upper lip, cheeks, chin, and forehead. While threading is known for being low-maintenance, proper before and aftercare can make a big difference in how your skin reacts and how long your results last.
At Precise Threading, we want you to enjoy flawless results with total confidence. Here’s everything you need to know before and after your threading session.
Beforecare: What to Do Before Your Threading Appointment
✅ 1. Clean Your Skin
Come to your appointment with a freshly washed face, free of makeup, oils, and lotions. This helps prevent irritation and ensures the thread can grip the hair properly.
✅ 2. Avoid Exfoliation the Day Before
Skip any chemical or physical exfoliation (like scrubs, peels, or retinol) for at least 24 hours prior. This prevents over-sensitizing the skin.
✅ 3. Communicate Skin Sensitivities
If you have sensitive skin, allergies, or are on medications like Accutane, let your technician know ahead of time so they can adjust their technique or offer alternatives.
✅ 4. Skip the Caffeine
Caffeine can make your skin more sensitive to pain. If you’re nervous about discomfort, try to avoid coffee or energy drinks for a few hours beforehand.
Aftercare: What to Do After Your Threading Session
✅ 1. Avoid Touching the Area
Your skin will be slightly open after hair removal. Keep hands off the threaded areas to prevent transferring bacteria and causing breakouts.
✅ 2. Skip Makeup for 12–24 Hours
Allow your skin time to breathe and recover. Applying foundation, concealer, or powder too soon can clog pores and lead to bumps or irritation.
✅ 3. Apply a Soothing Product
Use aloe vera gel, rose water, or a cold compress to calm the skin and reduce any temporary redness or swelling.
✅ 4. Avoid Sun Exposure & Heat
Steer clear of direct sunlight, saunas, or hot showers for 24 hours post-threading. Your skin is more sensitive to UV rays and heat immediately after the service.
✅ 5. Don’t Exfoliate Right Away
Wait at least 48 hours before exfoliating your face to avoid unnecessary irritation.
Bonus Tip: Stay Consistent
With regular threading every 3–4 weeks, your hair will grow back finer and sparser over time, making each session quicker and more comfortable. Staying consistent also helps maintain your shape and keeps your skin smooth year-round.
