Upper Lip Threading
Threading Process
Threading, an ancient hair removal method native to Asia, has been modernised to meet your upper lip hair removal needs here at Dream Nails. We employ a thin cotton or polyester thread that our skilled beauticians double, then twist. They roll this over the areas of unwanted hair, plucking the hair from the follicle level. Unlike tweezing where a single hair is pulled out each time, our threading technique can remove short rows of hair. This affords you a quick and precise upper lip threading treatment.
Threading is very delicate on your skin, and is ideally suited to people who have sensitive or acne-prone skin. The process doesn't involve any creams, wax or other treatment materials, making it perfect for those who prefer a natural approach. Despite being a quick process, we ensure every client receives a personalized, thorough treatment to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Result of Upper Lip Threading
Upper Lip Threading at Dream Nails leaves your skin looking smooth and hair-free. Apart from delivering immediate results, threading also can lead to a diminished hair growth over time, as it tends to damage the hair follicle, thereby inhibiting growth. The hair that does grow back will be finer and less noticeable.
While experiences differ for each individual, the results usually last for about 2-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth. The end result is a perfectly groomed, naturally smooth looking lip area. This all is achieved without the redness, irritation, or ingrown hairs that other hair removal methods can cause. With threading, you get precision and long-lasting results, with minimal discomfort or skin damage. Come to Dream Nails for a seamless upper lip threading experience.
