I'm 11 weeks and 4 days into my pregnancy and I'm wondering if it's okay to get threading done on my eyebrows and upper lip at this stage. Is it safe for me and the baby?

Threading during early pregnancy is generally considered safe. Since you're 11 weeks and 4 days pregnant, you can opt for threading as a hair removal method for your eyebrows and upper lip. However, it's essential to take some precautions to minimize potential risks. Make sure to find a skilled and experienced threading technician who follows proper sanitation and hygiene procedures. Some benefits of threading include its precision, gentleness on the skin, and ability to remove even the tiniest hairs. Additionally, threading doesn't involve the use of chemicals, making it a relatively safe option during pregnancy. Before undergoing threading, inform your technician about your pregnancy. Although threading is generally safe, it's crucial to be cautious and aware of any potential risks or complications.
