Threading

Looking for the best way to shape your eyebrows and remove excess facial hair? Book your threading appointment at Uptown Spa in Toronto. Using this ancient hair-removal technique, our skilled estheticians can shape or remove your facial hair for that polished look you desire. Threading can remove your hair without the use of chemicals, heat, or blades, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin. With the help of a threading specialist at Uptown Spa, you can get the smooth and shaped look of your favourite models.

Threading is an ancient hair-removal technique, passed down through generations in Asia, Egypt, and India. Using a thread, your esthetician will gently roll and twist your unwanted facial hair, removing the entire hair from the follicle. Unlike depilation techniques such as shaving, epilation with threading removes your hair below your skin for longer-lasting results. Threading is not appropriate for ingrown hair, and it is not a permanent form of hair removal, but results can last up to six weeks. Most estheticians recommend you return for another threading session every four to five weeks, but this may vary depending on the individual and the area treated. Your esthetician can give you more information on threading maintenance at the time of your appointment.

Some insist threading is the best way to remove facial hair, especially the eyebrows. The technique is precise, picking up shorter hairs and clearing the entire area at once. This can give your eyebrows the shape you desire with less need for tweezer touch-up between appointments. Threading may cause some discomfort, but it is gentle enough for sensitive and acne-prone skin, avoiding the use of chemicals, heat, and other things that can irritate skin, and the treatment is relatively quick. With repeated threading, the hair follicle may stop growing hair, so hair can grow in lighter and sparser over time. Unlike shaving, the more you thread, the less hair you will grow.

Threading is most appropriate for hair removal on smaller areas, such as the eyebrows, upper lip, chin, sideburns, and other areas of the face. The method is not suitable for large areas of thick body hair, such as the back or legs, but it can remove hair from smaller areas such as the toes. For other areas, such as ear hair and nose hair, ask your esthetician if threading is the best hair removal method. On small areas, threading can be an effective, minimally-invasive method of hair removal, and package discounts help you save even more on multiple treatments.
