Threading of eyebrows and facial hair is a regular aesthetic process among women. The practice of this centuries-old grooming is often a monthly or bi-weekly ritual and is also considered to be, inexpensive, and usually safe. However, a video recently has become a cause of concern by a doctor.

In a viral clip, an internal medical specialist Dr. Vishal Gable has claimed that threading can potentially transmit hepatitis B – a viral infection that mainly affects the liver, causing inflammation and potential long -term health complications – just like tattoos and sharing.

Dr. Gable narrated a case where three young women – all of whom had visited the same threading salon – positive for the virus with a matching strain. “As a doctor, it was highly unusual. It felt like a medical mystery. So, I did what doctors have been trained to do: I stepped back and took a detailed history, asked about their activities in the week before the symptoms begin,” he said in the video.

“When the connection became clear: the three visited the same threading salon,” Dr. Gable said.

Hepatitis B confirms that it spreads through cosmetic processes

According to the 2022 bulletin of the World Health Organization, the cases of Hepatitis B transmission are reported after tattoo, shared, “and even after sharing cosmetic processes such as threading.”

“We often believe that threading is harmless. However, the process can cause microscopic abrection in the skin, and the hepatitis B virus can survive for days on small contaminated surfaces. You don’t even need visible blood-an infected thread or unwanted equipment, and the virus spreads quietly. So yes, yes, yes, can be rich,” they said.

What is Hepatitis B?

Hepatitis B is a life-threatening viral infection that leads to liver inflammation. In some people, it can cause cirrhosis and even liver failure. According to doctors, there is no cure for Hepatitis B – but there are drugs that can make the virus inactive. Inactive hepatitis B means that you have a virus, which does not spread.

Hepatitis B is the most common liver infection in the world, in which estimated 254 million people live with this situation.

How long can you be contagious with Hepatitis B?

As long as the virus is active in your body, you can be contagious. Doctors say that acute hepatitis B lasts for six months, and at this time the virus spreads to your body. However, if you have active chronic hepatitis B, you will be contagious to the rest of your life.

If you have passive chronic hepatitis B, the risk will be low. Your healthcare provider can perform a blood test to find out if you have an active or passive virus.
