Full Face Threading Appointment: Which Areas Can Be Included?

A full face threading appointment can be a practical choice when you would like more than your eyebrows tidied in the same visit. Rather than booking separate appointments for each small area of unwanted facial hair, you can discuss a complete plan with a trained threading professional and decide what feels right for your skin, hair growth and everyday routine.

At a professional studio, full face threading is not about creating one fixed version of a face. It is about removing visible hair carefully from the areas you choose, while respecting your natural features, skin comfort and personal preferences. Some clients want a clean, polished look around the brows and upper lip. Others would also like attention around the chin, cheeks or hairline.

If you are considering a full face threading appointment in Malta, this guide explains the areas that may be included, what to clarify before booking and how to arrive prepared for your session.

What is a full face threading appointment?

Threading is a hair-removal technique that uses a twisted thread to catch and lift hairs from the root. It has a long history in India and the Middle East and remains a popular option for facial hair because it allows the professional to work with precision in small, detailed areas.

A full face threading appointment brings several facial areas into one service. The exact plan should always be confirmed with the studio and practitioner, particularly if you have sensitive skin, use active skincare products or have a specific concern about an area of your face.

At Becammo, threading is performed with single-use thread. Cotton thread is used as standard, while polyester may be used for clients with a cotton allergy. The aim is to keep the appointment hygienic, considered and tailored to the individual.

Which areas can be included in one session?

The phrase “full face” can mean slightly different things from one studio to another. It is worth asking exactly what is included when you book, rather than assuming every possible area will automatically be treated. A professional consultation at the start of the appointment helps establish the right scope.

Depending on your needs and the service plan agreed with your practitioner, a full face threading appointment may cover the following areas.

Eyebrow area

The eyebrow area is often the starting point because brows frame the face and benefit from precise shaping. Threading can remove regrowth above, below and between the brows while preserving the shape you want to keep.

A good brow design is personal. Face shape, natural hair density, growth direction and your preferred level of definition all matter. The goal is not to force every client into the same arch or thickness, but to create a balanced result that still looks like you.

Upper lip

The upper lip is one of the most commonly requested facial threading areas. Fine or darker hairs here can be noticeable in certain lighting, in photographs or when applying make-up. Threading allows the practitioner to work close to the lip line with control.

This area can be more sensitive for some people, especially close to their period or when the skin is dry or irritated. Let your practitioner know if you are concerned about comfort so they can work thoughtfully and explain what to expect.

Chin and lower face

Chin hair growth varies greatly from person to person. Some clients have a few isolated hairs they prefer to remove, while others notice a more regular pattern along the chin or lower jawline. A full face appointment can be useful when this area is part of your usual maintenance routine.

Be open about what you would and would not like removed. A professional should follow your preferences, rather than remove hair simply because it is visible. Facial hair is natural, and the decision to remove it is entirely personal.

Cheeks

Fine hair on the cheeks is common. Some clients choose to thread this area for a smoother-looking finish, particularly before an event or when they want make-up to sit more evenly. Others prefer to leave their cheek hair untouched.

Cheek threading should be approached carefully. The practitioner will look at the density and direction of the hair, as well as the condition of your skin, before proceeding. It is not necessary to include this area just because you have booked a full face service.

Sideburn and temple area

The area in front of the ears, often referred to as the sideburn or temple area, can be included when you want a neater transition between the hairline and face. This is another area where a light, natural finish is often more important than removing every fine hair.

Clear communication helps. You can point out exactly where you would like the threading to stop, especially if you are maintaining a preferred hairstyle or want to keep a soft facial frame.

Forehead and hairline

Some clients ask about threading along the forehead or hairline to remove isolated hairs and create a tidier outline. This area requires a cautious approach because the natural hairline should not be overworked.

If you are unsure whether your hairline should be included, ask for your practitioner’s view during the appointment. They can help you consider the look you want while keeping the result subtle and appropriate for your natural growth pattern.

Does full face threading always include every area?

No. A full face threading appointment should be personalised, not treated as a checklist that must be completed in exactly the same way for every client. You may only want brows, upper lip and chin. Another client may want cheeks and sideburns included but prefer to leave the forehead alone.

Your practitioner may also recommend leaving an area untreated if the skin looks irritated or if hair removal there is unlikely to suit your current needs. This is a sign of thoughtful service, not an incomplete appointment.

When booking, describe the areas you are considering. If you are visiting for the first time, arrive a little early or mention your questions when you check in. That gives you time to agree on the plan before threading begins.

What happens during a professional full face threading session?

The appointment begins with a conversation about your priorities. You may be asked which areas you normally thread, whether you have had facial hair removal recently and whether there is any part of your face you would prefer not to treat.

Your threading professional then assesses the visible growth and works through the agreed areas with controlled movements. The sensation can range from mild tingling to brief discomfort, particularly in more delicate areas such as the upper lip. Everyone experiences it differently, and it is helpful to say something if you need a pause.

Eyebrow work usually involves additional attention to balance and shape. Your practitioner can remove regrowth while retaining the fullness, softness or definition that suits your preference. For the rest of the face, the focus is generally on a clean, even finish rather than a dramatic change.

At the end, take a moment to check the result in the mirror. If there is an area you would like reviewed, mention it before you leave. Good communication is part of achieving a result you feel comfortable with.

How to prepare for your appointment

A little preparation can make your visit more straightforward. You do not need an elaborate routine, but it helps to arrive with your skin in a calm, clean condition.

• Come with clean skin where possible. Heavy make-up, oils and thick skincare can make it harder to assess the natural hair growth.
• Do not shave the areas you want threaded immediately before your visit. The thread needs enough visible hair to catch effectively.
• Tell the practitioner about skin sensitivity. Mention recent irritation, peeling, sun exposure or any skincare products that have made your face feel reactive.
• Share your preferences clearly. Let the professional know if you want a very natural finish, a more defined brow shape or certain areas left untouched.
• Plan around important events. If you are preparing for a wedding, holiday or photos, booking ahead gives your skin time to settle in your usual way.

If you are using prescription skincare or have a specific skin concern, it is sensible to seek appropriate professional advice before any hair-removal appointment. Your threading practitioner can also advise whether it is better to postpone a particular area on the day.

Aftercare for threaded facial areas

After threading, the skin may look temporarily pink or feel more sensitive, especially in areas where the hair is coarse or the skin is delicate. This can vary from one person to another. Keep the rest of your routine simple and pay attention to how your skin feels.

• Avoid touching the freshly threaded areas unnecessarily.
• Use gentle skincare and avoid vigorous exfoliation straight after your appointment.
• Keep make-up light if your skin feels warm or sensitive.
• Avoid introducing a new active product immediately after threading.
• Protect your skin from strong sun exposure with the sun protection that suits your usual routine.

Ask your practitioner for personalised aftercare guidance if you have sensitive or reactive skin. Their advice should reflect the areas treated and what they observed during the session.

Why choose one appointment for several facial areas?

Booking a full face threading appointment can make sense if you prefer your facial grooming to feel coordinated. When the brows, upper lip and other chosen areas are addressed in one visit, the overall result can look more balanced than treating each area weeks apart.

It can also be a practical option for people with busy routines in Sliema, Swieqi, St Julian’s, Valletta and across Malta. Instead of planning several small appointments, you can discuss your priorities once and create a maintenance routine that fits your lifestyle.

Most importantly, a full face appointment gives you the opportunity to work with a professional who understands the difference between removing unwanted hair and overworking the face. Small decisions about where to stop are what keep the result personal and natural-looking.

Choosing the right full face threading appointment in Malta

Look for a studio that treats threading as a precise service rather than a rushed add-on. Ask whether the practitioner can tailor the areas to your needs, what hygiene approach they use and how they handle brow design alongside general facial hair removal.

At Becammo, the team works with threading and brow design across a wide range of eyebrow types and backgrounds. Whether your hair is fine, dense, straight, curly, sparse or unevenly distributed, the starting point should be your own growth pattern and your preferred look.

Before booking, think about the areas you would like to include, but leave room for an informed conversation on the day. A personalised plan is usually the best way to make a full face threading appointment feel comfortable, clear and worthwhile.

Frequently asked questions

Can I include eyebrow shaping in a full face threading appointment?

You can ask to include your eyebrows, but confirm the exact service scope when booking. Brow shaping involves more detailed design decisions than general facial hair removal, so it is helpful to explain the look you prefer.

Will every part of my face be threaded?

Not necessarily. The areas treated should be agreed with you. You can choose to leave areas such as the cheeks, forehead or sideburns untouched if that feels more appropriate for your routine and preferences.

How long should facial hair be before threading?

There needs to be enough visible growth for the thread to catch the hair. Avoid shaving the intended areas immediately before your appointment. If you are unsure whether there is enough regrowth, contact the studio before booking.

Is full face threading suitable for sensitive skin?

Suitability depends on your skin on the day and your individual sensitivity. Tell your practitioner about irritation, recent peeling, strong skincare products or any concern you have. They can assess the area and tailor the appointment accordingly.

Can I wear make-up after full face threading?

Many clients prefer to keep the skin bare or use minimal make-up immediately afterwards, particularly if there is temporary redness. Your practitioner can offer practical guidance based on the areas threaded and how your skin responds.

A full face threading appointment is most useful when it is built around your real needs, not a one-size-fits-all definition of facial grooming. If you would like to combine eyebrow design with selected facial areas, book your threading service at Becammo and discuss the finish you would like with the team at your chosen Malta location.
