We are fortunate at the Essie Medi Spa to have medically, and even surgically trained aesthetic specialists, who take as much pride and fulfilment in performing beauty treatments like eyebrow threading, waxing and eyelash extensions as they do in the more complex surgical procedures they carry out. They understand that your eyebrows play a massive role in your over all look. They can help shape and define your face.

Threading
Eyebrow threading is a form of epilation and in recent times possibly the most popular method of shaping the eyebrows. Carried out by a trained technician who firstly applies a gentle cleanser to sterilise the area and expose the unwanted hairs. Then using a thin piece of thread, typically made of cotton to create a firmer hold on each strand, the technician will hold one end in their teeth, whilst the other twisted part of cotton is then held over the section of hair they want removed. The thread is then lifted in a quick motion which traps the hair between the cotton threads and lifts the hair(s) out whole. This removes the entire hair, which includes the root, rather than just cutting it. It’s a simple but effective process which if carried out properly will give you the required perfect finish and definition. With a trained technician the process is fairly quick lasting about ten minutes on average.

Waxing
Waxing is a semi-permanent means of hair removal, commonly used for the face, legs, arms, back and bikini line. This method involves applying warm wax to the treatment area. A strip is then applied for several seconds whilst applying a small amount of pressure. The strip is then removed in a swift motion and any unwanted hair is removed. Unlike threading, waxing relies on the hair being a little longer enabling it to adhere to waxing strips more securely.
