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.

Avoid exfoliating the skinDo not use exfoliants or abrasive products on the eyebrow area or face for at least 24-48 hours before waxing to avoid sensitizing the skin.
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.
Avoid touching or rubbing the area: After epilation, the skin may be slightly irritated. Avoid touching or scratching the area to prevent further infection or irritation.
Apply a soothing product: After waxing, you can apply products such as aloe vera gel, rose water or a soothing cream to reduce redness and sensitivity.
Avoid makeup for 24 hours: No apliques maquillaje ni productos agresivos (como ácidos o retinoides) en las áreas depiladas al menos durante 24 horas, ya que la piel estará más vulnerable.
Do not expose your skin to the sun: Avoid direct sun exposure in the 24 hours after waxing, as the skin will be more sensitive and may burn or stain easily. If it is necessary to go out in the sun, use sunscreen.
Avoid excessive heat: During the first 24 hours, avoid activities that generate heat on the skin, such as saunas, hot baths or intense exercise that causes sweating, to prevent irritation or inflammation.
Keep skin hydrated: Be sure to apply a light moisturizer after the treatment and in the following days to keep the skin nourished and avoid dryness.
Do not exfoliate the area immediatelyAvoid exfoliating or peeling the area for at least 3 days after waxing, as the skin will be more sensitive.
