Yes, threading is generally safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin when performed by experienced technicians using hygienic tools. We assess skin condition beforehand and recommend tailored techniques or alternative services if active breakouts or irritation are present.

Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid exfoliating or waxing the area for 48 hours before your appointment. Inform your technician about medications, recent skin treatments, or sensitivities to ensure safe and effective threading.
