Lash Lifting FAQ’s
The great thing about a Lash Lift is that it is a very low maintenance procedure however, there is a little extra care required over the first 24-48hrs.
• Be gentle with your lashes; no rubbing.
• Do not get your lashes wet for the first 24 hrs.
• Do not use harsh products on your eyes/lashes.
• Use of Sauna/Steam is possible after 24hrs but may weaken the effect of the lift.
• No eye make up or oil based products for 24 hours.
• Avoid waterproof mascara’s.
• Swimming should be avoided for at least 24hrs.
How long does the Lash Lift last?
Up to 2 months or longer depending on the shedding cycle of your lashes, It's recommended that you re-lift your lashes every 6-7 weeks to maintain.
Can Lash Lift be used to compliment other treatments?
Yes! Lash Lift is enhanced when you use lash growth product. While your lashes grow longer, our process controls straight or overly curly lashes by giving them a uniform lifted look. Please wait 2 days after your lash service to continue use.
Will I notice a difference if my lashes are short?
Yes! No matter what length your lashes are, this process will lift and curl lashes upwards, giving them the appearance of longer, thicker lashes. Apply mascara after 24 hours for a more dramatic look.
Who is a candidate for Lash Lift?
Anyone who is interested in enhancing the look of their natural eyelashes, although not recommended for chemotherapy patients.
Is the procedure safe?
Yes. Lashes are lifted onto specially shaped silicone lifting pads before products are applied
How long is the procedure?
Procedure takes about 45 minutes.
How do I need to prep for the treatment?
Please come in make up free. If you wear contacts, they must be removed.
Is this like lash extension where they will look dramatically thicker?
Lash extensions and lash lifts are 2 totally different animals. I will not be adding any additional lashes to you. I will simply be curling your natural lashes.
How is this treatment any different than a lash perm?
Some of the lash perms of years past use tiny little rods that product a way too inverted curl. Others, use a type of lash curler/clamp which can be uncomfortable and difficult to work with. The methods I employ use silicon domed shields that lift the lashes from the root, producing a beautiful, uplifted look as if you used a high quality eyelash curler.
Are some lashes resistant to the curl?
I have found, on occasion, that it's very difficult and sometimes not possible to sustain the curl with lashes that have a strong cowlick or slanted growth pattern. Also, growth patterns due to plastic surgery in the eye area are often not able to be corrected. I say, give the treatment a shot once, and let's see how your lashes hold the curl.
Is it painful?
No. At first, when I'm applying the shields to the eyelids, it may feel a bit strange. But, for the most part, it's very relaxing! You just kick back and relax :)
I have downward-pointing lashes, will this be a good treatment for me?
For sure! Anyone with these types of pesky lashes will love the lash lift! Post treatment, your lashes will all be evenly dispersed and lifted, no more pesky straight lashes for you!
I've recently had lasik surgery, can I have this procedure?
Yes, but you need to wait at least 6 months. As always, when in doubt, please consult with your physician.
