Depilación de cejas y/o labio superior con hilo
The depilación de cejas o labio superior con hilo is an ancient and popular technique, especially in Middle Eastern and Asian cultures, used to precisely shape and clean the eyebrows. In this method, a cotton or polyester thread is used which is wound and twisted, trapping the hairs between the twists of the thread. The hair is then plucked from the root with quick, controlled movements.
This process allows multiple hairs to be removed at once in straight lines, making it ideal for shaping eyebrows with great precision. Unlike other hair removal methods, such as tweezing or waxing, threading does not stretch the skin or use chemicals, making it a gentle and less irritating option, especially for people with sensitive skin.
La depilación con hilo es conocida por ser rápida, precisa y efectiva para eliminar incluso los vellos más finos, dejando las cejas bien definidas y limpias. Además, como el vello se arranca de raíz, los resultados suelen durar más tiempo, entre 3 y 6 semanas, dependiendo del crecimiento del vello de cada persona.

Clean the area well: Arrive at the treatment with clean skin, free of makeup, creams, oils or other products. This will allow the professional to have a better visibility of the hair and prevent the products from interfering with the process.
Moisturize your skinKeep the skin moisturized in the previous days to avoid dryness or irritation after waxing.
Avoid sun or aggressive treatments: Do not sunbathe or undergo treatments such as chemical peels or lasers at least 48 hours before, as this can make the skin more sensitive.
Communicate if you are sensitive: If you have sensitive skin or allergies, it is important to inform the specialist so that she can adjust the technique and apply appropriate products.
