Is it fair to ask how many times over how many weeks?
Any idea how many hairs you actually removed?
Were they coarse of fine?

well i used to get my upper lip and chin threaded once a week because i have dark facial hair and very pale skin so it is very easily visible when it grows back, and it used to be around around 2-3 millimetres. But then i started doing it myself (thinking it would save me time, and money, in the long run, boy was i wrong!) and so i did it every3-4 days when the hairs were slightly shorter, but still visible. Its difficult to say how many hairs i threaded because i hvae many on my upper lip and chin, but the majority of them were coarse...however i have noticed that some of them have become thinner again since i have gone back to get it professionally threaded. Also when i was doing it myself the hair growth increased quite a bit...but i think it has calmed down a bit since...its so difficult to judge my facial hair growth because i find it is so volatile, ie. sometimes it grows in strong spurts of really coarse hai and other times it seems to slow down a bit and become a bit finer...strange!

yes u are right, all forms of hair removal will effect the skin somewhat, its just that i know other people who get their upper lip threaded (friends, cousins), and they dont seem to be affected in the same way.

I am using vitamin E cream on the area now and the darkness in the skin seems to have lessened just a tiny bit, maybe it will go with time....who knows!
