What is Threading?
Threading is an ancient hair removal technique that originated in South Asia and the Middle East, using a twisted 100% cotton thread to pluck unwanted hair directly from the root. It is celebrated above all for its precision, which makes it the ideal choice for shaping eyebrows and removing fine facial hair. At Soma Laser and Skincare Clinic in Nieuw Muckleneuk, Pretoria, threading is performed by an experienced aesthetician.
Because the thread only lifts the hair and never touches or peels the skin, threading uses no heat, wax or chemicals. That makes it gentle enough for sensitive, acne-prone or mature skin, while still giving clean, sharp and symmetrical results that last three to six weeks.

How It Works
A step-by-step look at what threading is, how it works and what to expect at Soma Laser and Skincare Clinic.
Threading is an ancient hair removal technique from South Asia and the Middle East that uses a twisted 100% cotton thread to pluck unwanted hair directly from the root. It is prized for its precision, which makes it especially good for shaping eyebrows and removing fine facial hair on the upper lip, chin and cheeks.
An aesthetician doubles and twists a piece of thin, 100% cotton thread. By rolling the twisted section over the skin, rows of hair are trapped in the loops and pulled out at the follicle level, one precise row at a time.
There are three main practitioner techniques, chosen for speed, control and comfort.

Most people find threading very tolerable. There is a light, quick pulling sensation as the hair is lifted, and because there is no heat, wax or chemicals, there is no burning or stinging.
Because the hair is lifted from the root, results last three to six weeks depending on your hair cycle. Over time, continuous threading makes regrowth finer and slower.
Threading targets single hairs or precise rows rather than larger patches, which allows sharper, more symmetrical brows. It also never peels the skin, so it suits sensitive, acne-prone or mature skin.
Threading is ideal for the eyebrows, upper lip, chin and cheeks, and can be used across the whole face.
Yes. The thread only pulls the hair and never touches or peels the top layer of skin, and it uses no heat, wax or chemicals, so it is gentle on sensitive, acne-prone and mature skin.
