When you arrive, the technician will ask about your skin. They check for sensitivity, allergies, or recent skin treatments. They may clean the area to remove makeup or oils. Clean skin helps thread grip hair properly and lowers risk of irritation.

Then you will sit under good lighting. The technician uses a piece of clean cotton thread. They twist it between fingers to form a loop. With the loop they move over your skin, caught hairs are lifted from root. You may feel a quick tug or slight sting. Most people say pain is brief. They breathe calmly, press down skin with other hand for less discomfort.

The session usually takes between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the zones chosen. Eyebrows are fast. Lip or chin zones may take more care. Time also depends on how thick or coarse hair is. Technician works steadily to avoid over-pulling.

After removal, skin might look a bit red or feel warm. That is normal. The redness often subsides in less than an hour. Technician may apply cooling gel or antiseptic to soothe skin. They might also give advice for aftercare: gentle cleansing, avoiding sun, makeup delay.

You might see small bumps where each hair was removed. Do not pick or scratch. They heal quickly if left alone and kept clean. Within a day or two skin tone evens out. Hair regrowth period depends on you. Some return in two to three weeks, others longer.

If you feel anxious about pain, you can apply a numbing cream ahead of time (if safe and advised). You can also schedule at times when skin is fresh—not after sunburn or harsh treatments. Proper communication with technician helps them adjust speed.

In choosing someone for your first session, look for good reviews, hygiene, friendliness, and skill. A professional with gentle hands and calm approach makes a difference. For trusted care in Adelaide, go with iBrow Threads and feel confident in your experience.
