How painful is Threading?

CANDLEQUEEN — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 20:16:45 GMT

I am looking at getting it done on my chin area and upper neck area, not my brows. I have heard that it is more painful for your brows and upper lip..

Do you feel its more painful than waxing? Thanks! I know every one varies, just looking for opinions...

Never had it done either and if there is pain involved I probably will not! I am a huge coward.

Hi @CANDLEQUEEN. I am fair and don't need it but I must say that I had it done once some years back on eyebrows. Do not worry!. I'm in SoFlo, plenty of waxing. etcetera. With no pain

IMO waxing is worse pain wise if you are asking. I prefer the threading option.

Much less painful than wax or tweezing. Have had threading for 18 years now and never want to do any other method.

Hi @CANDLEQUEEN You should definitely try threading. I don't think it is more painful than waxing, but there is a certain amount of discomfort. Me & my sensitive skin prefer it to waxing

Had my brows threaded once. No discomfort but did not care for the eyebrow result

It's like plucking multiple hairs at once. No worse than tweezing.

I did not like the feel of the thread moving on my skin. I would pick waxing.

Honestly, a lot depends on the skill of the practioner.

I think threading feels more like tweezing than waxing. I should also add that I have a high pain tolerance, so factor that in.

It is less painful than waxing. Threading doesn't harm the skin like waxing can.

It does sting, but the more you do it, the less painful it becomes. The chin and neck and brows are not bad. Above the lip is more senstitive.

I found it less painful than waxing. My daughter and my mother felt is was slightly painful but I did not. Threading did not cause any reddening of my face either and my complexion is fair.

Very little pain. Musch nicer than waxing and it lasts longer too. Make sure the person has lots of experience.

@CANDLEQUEEN

The only part of the body that threading is uncomfortable on is the upper lip. I have always gotten a combo wax/threading on my face, but since starting to use Tretinoin, my esthetician wants to play it save and thread only. The only part of my face that is uncomfortable is the upper lip. Everything else is no problemo!

FOR ME......it was more painful than waxing and it almost always left little bumps afterwards. i was "threading" before threading was cool. LOL

Upper lip is the most tender.
