While researching hair removal methods, people often wonder whether they are safe. After all, hair is (in most cases) pulled out, which brings external materials into contact with open pores and irritated skin. Have you ever wondered whether threading is safe?
Put your fears to rest, because we assure you that threading is 100% safe.
Firstly, threading involves no chemicals, apart from those used for sanitation purposes. At our threading salon in Boston, organic thread is used after your skin has been sanitized, and after the process is finished, we wipe the surface dry and apply soothing agents such as aloe gel or rose water â all of which are completely safe. Thus, threading presents no threats due to chemicals.
Now, if proper sanitation isnât maintained, and standards are allowed to slip loose a bit, infections may occur. For instance, if the same piece of thread is used on multiple people, or the professional doing the process doesnât properly sanitize his or her hands, skin diseases may be spread from one person to another. At our salon, we observe stringent sanitation procedures, which further eliminates chances of any problems arising.
Another potential risk area is if you undergo the process while your skin is broken or damaged (like with acne). At most competent salons, the beautician will take a careful look at your face to determine whether that is the case. Micro-abrasions or tears do not matter, but large cuts and bruises can sometimes lead to infections.
If youâre planning on getting threading done, check your face for cuts, bruises or acne, and only go if you see none on the areas thatâll get worked on. If you go anyway, in all likelihood the salonâs staff will ask you to come a few days later, when the cut or acne has healed.
