Eyelash Extensions

PRE-CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

⚜️If you use waterproof mascara, avoid using it 2-3 days before your appointment. The film it leaves on your lashes may prevent the extensions from adhering correctly.

⚜️Arrive to your appointment with dry, clean lashes and makeup-free eyes.

⚜️Remove contact lenses before your appointment.

AFTER-CARE INSTRUCTIONS :

⚜️Don't get your lashes wet for 24 hrs after the lash extensions are applied. It will affect the efficacy of the glue.

⚜️Avoid steam from showers, facials, saunas and swimming pools.

⚜️Avoid getting moisture around the eye area when washing face, showering etc.

⚜️Avoid tanning beds for 48 hrs after application.

⚜️Avoid chemical peels, waxing or laser treatments around the eyes.

!!! General guidelines to extend the life of your lashes :

⚜️Avoid using oil-based skincare and makeup products around the eye, including mascara and makeup remover.

⚜️Avoid running water over your face. Moisture will break down the bond of the glue.

⚜️Avoid rubbing your eyes/lashes, especially when washing your face.

⚜️Avoid using an eyelash curler. One of the benefits of lash extensions is the ability to add curl to your lashes. If you would like more curl, please speak to your artist.

⚜️If you can, sleep on your back to avoid the risk of lashes rubbing against your pillow.

⚜️Gently brush your lashes with a mascara wand to groom them. Don't brush when wet. Wait until dry then brush. Blot with paper towel (recommended) or tissue.

⚜️Avoid pulling your lashes, and don't attempt to remove them yourself. If you would like them removed, please contact your artist.

If you experience any pain, redness/irritation, contact your artist immediately.

AFTER-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT EXPOSE YOURSELF TO THE SUN
After you have undergone your microneedling procedure, stay out of the sun and do not apply any sunscreen, due to the toxins that may be contained in the lotion. Post procedure, the skin channels are completely open, and any toxins contained in topical applicants may be harmful to you.

DO NOT USE ANY “ACTIVE INGREDIENT” SKIN PRODUCTS 
Avoid any skin care product that has active ingredients. These commonly include things like Alpha Hydroxyl Acids, Retinol and other similar agents. The skin will be highly sensitive and these products will only irritate the it further.

USE COLLAGEN STIMULATING PEPTIDES
As microneedling serves to stimulate the production of collagen, the skin needs higher amounts of collagen than normal to recover optimally. Collagen Stimulating Peptides assist in that process, further aiding in the stimulation of collagen production.

AVOID THE USE OF MAKEUP AFTER TREATMENT 
It is imperative that you let your skin “breathe” and recover for 24 hours after the procedure. The skin channels are open, and using a makeup brush can penetrate the pores, especially if they are very thin, causing further irritation. Using a makeup brush that has been used before can contaminate the skin and, consequently, lead to infections. Wait 24 to 48 hours before you apply face makeup to give your skin the necessary recovery time.

USE A COOLING FACE MASK 
After you have undergone microneedling, you may experience some skin inflammation or redness. Using a cooling mask will help reduce the inflammation or redness of the skin, giving you more comfort.

USE AN ANTIOXIDANT SERUM
Antioxidant serums have properties that assist in healing the skin. Serums assist in soothing the skin and further reduce irritation.

AVOID SWEATING 
As you sweat the pores of your skin will reopen, and the bacteria on your skin may enter the skin punctures. This can lead to a either a reaction or infection.

DRINK WATER
It is important to stay hydrated before and after your procedure to help your skin heal and rejuvenate faster.
