Located in South Edmonton, we offer Lash Lift services. Lash lifts are a gentle form of lash perming that curls the natural lashes along the lash line. It gives the appearance of longer more feminine lashes.
Lash lifts can last up to 12 weeks depending on after-care products used and thickness of lashes. Try to minimize rubbing and use gentle products on the eye area. Thick lashes are more resistant and will fall faster than thin lashes.
It is recommended that clients wait 12 weeks between lash lifts. This allows your hair to recover and regenerate new growth.
What can go wrong during a Lash Lift?
It is rare for reactions to occur as the products are kept strictly on the lashes. People who have sensitivity to latex are not recommended to have the service, as the adhesive used does contain latex.
If you have ever reacted to artificial lash glue used for strip lashes, you are at risk of having a reaction. Typical allergic reaction will cause the eyes to swell for up to 72 hours.
How does it work?
The first step is to open the bonds in the hair, giving flexibility within the mid shaft where the curl is found. The second step sets the lashes into position and seals the hair shaft. The third step reintroduces moisture back into the lashes.
How do I care for my lashes after the treatment?
Avoid water for 48hrs, therefore, coming to your appointment with freshly washed hair will be of benefit.
You must also avoid makeup, and pressure on the lashes for 48hrs. It is recommended to sleep on your back in order to avoid bending the lashes overnight. Using a lash comb to lift and operate the lashes will help set.
Afterwards you can return to your regular routine and products.
Located in Edmonton, Dérmica offers lash lift services to maximize your eye beauty. What the lash lift does is gently perm the eyelashes using a formula specifically created for the eye area.
What does the lash lift process look like?
The process typically involves a two-step process similar to hair perming. It gives the natural lashes a curl and lifting effect which gives the appearance of fuller, extended lashes.
How long does the lash lift last?
Maximum results are seen during the first few weeks after the service. But any effects it has on the natural hair strand will remain until that hair is naturally shed. Everyone’s rate varies but typically you’re looking at 20% shedding and regrowth every couple of weeks for the lash and brow areas. With that being said, you’re looking at 6-10 weeks.
Is a lash lift better than eyelash extensions?
In terms of safety, a lash lift and false eyelashes are about the same. If someone has sensitive eyes they will react to anything being placed on the eyes, for example, makeup or products being used in a service.
As far as the side effects on the natural lashes, a lash lift would have less potential side effects when it comes to the wear. During the service, we use and remove the products and thats the end of that. There is nothing left on the lashes such as products or tools that apply extra weight. On the other hand, with lash extensions you have an adhesive that you’ll be wearing until that lash sheds. Plus, it does add weight regardless of how amazing the technician and the products are. it’s still weighing on your lashes.
Does crying affect lash lift?
Crying will have negative effects if you’re doing it early into the 48-hour period. Unfortunately, it is going to have an effect on the longevity and efficacy of the service. It is important to keep your lashes dry during this period.
However, if it’s beyond that 48 hours it should not affect the wear- unless you’re rubbing your eyes a lot, applying pressure, or bending the lashes downward.
Do you still wear mascara with a lash lift?
You can apply mascara as often as you’d like. Its best to avoid oil-based eye makeup remover if you are getting a tint along with your service as this can strip your colour. In fact, any strong products over the eyes can minimize the effects. But with mascara you are good to go!
Located in Edmonton, our spa offers lash perm services to enhance your natural lashes. The new wave of lash perms we offer are called Lash Lifts. As a result, this is how they are listed on all our menus.
Lash lifts can last up to 12 weeks depending on after-care products used and thickness of lashes. Keep in mind that thicker lashes are more resistant and will loose their curl faster than thin lashes. Minimize rubbing and use gentle products on eye area.
The chemical process
The first step we do when doing a Lash Lift is to open the bonds in the hair, thereby giving flexibility within the mid shaft where the curl is found. The second step is to set the lashes into position and seals the hair shaft. We complete the service by reintroducing moisture back into the lashes.
How can I prepare for my lash lift service?
The best way to prepare is knowing what to expect as your your post care instructions. These lash lift care tips will help you prepare in advance:
Avoid water for 48hrs, therefore, coming to your appointment with freshly washed hair will be of benefit.
You must also avoid makeup, and pressure on the lashes for 48hrs. It is recommended to sleep on your back in order to avoid bending the lashes overnight. Using a lash comb to lift and operate the lashes will help set.
Afterwards you can return to your regular routine and products.
If you loved your Lash Lift…
We recommend that clients wait 8-12 weeks between lash lifts. This allows you hair to recover and regenerate new growth.
How long do the eyelashes need to be for a Lash Lift?
Lash Lifts work on short lashes. However, the eyelashes should be a minimum of a half centimetre long in order to do the service safely. This is because on top of securing your eyelashes onto the silicone pad, the technician needs to apply the perming solution as close to the lash line without disturbing it. Short lashes leave little room for the technician to work with.
The lashes should be at minimum a half centimetre long for a Lash Lift.
If your eyelashes do not quite meet the required length, try using a lash enhancement serum. Previously, serums such as EyEnvy led the way in lash enhancement with no prescription necessary. This allowed millions of users to experience never-before-seen eyelash length.
Now, EyEnvy has been discontinued but you can find lash enhancement serums in most stores. We recommend Adoreyes. While sharing similarities with EyEnvy, it has some positive improvements. Examples include the timeframe in which the serum works. Unlike EyEnvy, Adoreyes works on all 3 stages of hair growth. Adoreyes may cost slightly more, but offers more serum in the bottle.
Yes, however, given the fact that the hair follicle has been trained to grow in that position for so long, it may take a coupe of sessions to achieve the desired curl.
Will tinting after a lash lift damage the lashes further?
No, the level of peroxide contained in any facial dye is very low and is mainly for the purpose of depositing colour. In other words, it is not lifting. If anything, it can help to fill the opened hair cuticles.
Transitioning from Extensions to Lash Lifts
If you previously wore lash extensions, we recommend waiting 4-6 weeks before your lash lift. This will depend on how much damage has been caused by the eyelash extensions. Using a growth serum will help strengthen the lashes giving better results.
Located in Edmonton, we offer spa services including skincare, IPL therapies, esthetics services, and professional retail. We are open 7 days a week. Connect with us on facebook, instagram, twitter, or tik tok.
Skincare
Skincare is one of our menu highlights. Our skin care menu includes our top-rated facial- the ‘PORE’ facial. Dérmica gained popularity with thePORE over the years as one of the few remaining spas in Edmonton that does pore extraction.
Our more advanced skincare treatments include chemical peels and photofacials. These medesthetics treatments transform the skin to reveal a more radiant, youthful-looking you.
IPL therapies
“Laser” is commonly used as an umbrella term to describe phototherapy. Phototherapy uses light energy to treat major skin conditions and permanently remove unwanted hair. While “laser” is a popular form of phototherapy, other forms include infrared fractional, radio frequency, and our favourite, Intense Pulse Light (IPL).
IPL safely delivers pulses of UV light into the skin to improve skin health and remove unwanted facial and body hair.
Esthetics
Brow services are our menu’s delights. In fact, the brow Sculpt put Dérmica on the map in our early days! From regular brow waxing to semi-pemanent microblading, clients have been trusting us with their brows for years.
Other esthetics services include waxing, lash lift, relaxation massage body treatments, manicures and pedicures. Our services are a mix of traditional European techniques combined with a treatment approach, and of course, an added touch of luxury.

LASH LIFT & BROW LAMINATION PACKAGE, $130
If you want eyes that captivate, this package is for you. This lash and brow package includes a Lash Lift and Brow Lamination.
Package Details
The Lash Lift adds curl and definition to your natural lashes. Lash Lifts are a new generation perming method that is safer and more effective than traditional lash perms.
We use different sizes of silicone pads to “lift” each lash individually. This creates a subtle, natural looking curl, giving the illusion of length for a full, natural yet perfect look. This eyelash treatment lasts between 6-8 weeks.
On the other hand, Brow Lamination is a perm in reverse. It involves securing the hair in an upward stroke pattern, then setting them into place with a gentle brow perming solution. Eyebrow lamination lasts 4-6 weeks.
Tint or no tint?
Adding custom tint to your lift and/or lamination will enhance your lashes and brows in a natural way. We use vegan tints that are made without the use of raw animal materials. If you choose to add tint to your service, be prepared to fall in love!
