As a dermatologist with over a decade of experience, I've often been asked about the effects of plucking on the skin and hair. Plucking, when done correctly and not too frequently, is generally not harmful. However, there are several factors to consider:
1. Infection: If the hair is plucked with unclean tools or in an unhygienic environment, there's a risk of infection.
2. Hair Breakage: Repeated plucking can lead to hair breakage and may result in thinner, weaker hair over time.
3. Follicle Damage: Aggressive plucking can cause damage to the hair follicle, potentially leading to scarring or hair loss.
4. Ingrown Hairs: Plucking can sometimes result in ingrown hairs, which can be painful and may also lead to infection if not properly managed.
It's important to use clean, sterilized tools and to avoid plucking the same area repeatedly. If you have any concerns about your skin or hair health, it's always best to consult with a dermatologist.

Plucking isn't bad for your eyebrows. However, you should be careful not to over?pluck, as the hairs don't always grow back and you can run the risk of permanently losing your most flattering shape. It's always good to use a mix of threading, waxing and tweezing, depending on what is needed to create the perfect arch.
