A member asked:

Can threading or waxing eyebrows repeatedly for many years cause wrinkles or sagging skin around the eyes?

Dr. Ross Blagg answered

Specializes in Surgery - Plastics

Unlikely: Repeated waxing/threading of the brows is unlikely to cause wrinkles or sagging. Sun exposure, smoking, and genetics are much more likely to play a role in wrinkle formation. Wear sunscreen :).
