Minimum lash length for Lash Lift
The eyelashes should be a minimum of a half centimetre long in order to do the service safely. If your eyelashes do not quite meet the required length, try using a lash enhancement serum for 8 weeks in preparation for your Lash Lift.
Is tinting the lashes safe?
Lash tint is safe. We use specialized dyes on eyelashes that have a relatively lower peroxide content of 3% as opposed to hair dye. The role of peroxide is to open up the seal of the hair.
Relatively speaking, the 3% found in the specialized tint is very mild. It won’t completely open the hair, just enough to deposit the colour.
Tips to achieve healthier eyelashes
Removing your makeup properly is very important when growing the lashes naturally. Make sure that your lashes are properly cleansed down to the base.
Remember, the more obstruction you have along that area, the harder it will be for that hair to grow to its fullest potential. Avoid using very drying agents around the eyes. For example, some makeup removers can be very drying which is going to make the lashes a lot more brittle.
Try to avoid astringent or alcohol-based makeup remover on the eyes. Use conditioning serums that will feed your lashes with proper ingredients. Castor oil is a common ingredient in brow and eyelash conditioners. It is known to help promote length and volume in the eyebrows and lashes.
Lash Lift Care Instructions
Maintain your lash lift by following the recommended aftercare. Avoid water, steam, makeup for the first 48 hours. After that, try to use mild cleansers around the eyes. Avoid strong astringents or alcohol-based and oil-based eye makeup removers.
Welcome to our online lash lift gallery! We have been lifting eyelashes in Edmonton, Alberta for over 10 years. Over time, we have collected many ‘before and after’ lash lift pictures. We update our online gallery whenever possible.
Lash Lifts work in 3 easy steps! 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.
Lash lifts can last up to 12 weeks depending on after-care products used and thickness of lashes. Minimize rubbing and use gentle products on eye area. Thick lashes are more resistant and will fall faster than thin lashes.
Lash Lift and Tint
You must also avoid water, makeup, and pressure on the lashes for 48 hours. Afterwards you can return to your regular routine and products.
It is recommend that clients wait 12 weeks between lash lifts. This allows your hair to recover and regenerate new growth.
Before Booking, are there any allergies you should be aware of?
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.
Located in Edmonton, we offer Lash Lift and Tint services in our spa menu. This popular service creates lift, curl, and definition to your natural lashes. The results are immediate and last between six to eight weeks.
Tint on darker lashes?
Often clients will opt for the lash lift with tint even when they have darker eyelashes. This is because it creates a bigger contrast which makes the eyelashes really pop! Especially for clients with lighter coloured eyes, adding tint to the lash lift results in the eye colour appearing brighter.
Is it safe to tint my eyelashes?
We use specialized dyes on eyelashes that have a relatively lower peroxide content of 3% as opposed to hair dye. The role of peroxide is to open up the seal of the hair.
Peroxide pops the scales of your hair up so the colour can tuck itself into the cuticle of the hair. Eventually you mask it and seal it back up. Higher percentages really open up those scales often resulting in split ends. The wider the scales are opened, the harder it is to close them once you’re done.
Relatively speaking, the 3% found in the specialized tint is very mild. It won’t completely open the hair, just enough to deposit the colour.
Lash Repair
If you love Lash Lifts and you get them regularly, we recommend treating the eyelashes with a daily conditioner will help to repair and strengthen the lashes. There are a few options available for lash and brow serums to boost the health of natural lashes. At Dérmica, we retail Adoreyes Lash and Brow serums in-store or online.
Experience the lash lift benefits for yourself! Located in Edmonton, Dérmica offers a full spa menu that includes this popular eyelash enhancement service.
During a lash lift, we use different sizes of silicone pads to “lift” each lash individually and create a subtle, natural looking curl. There are many benefits to the lash lift, let’s review a few.
Clean and classy curl finish
The full and natural yet perfect look is not the only benefit of a lash lift, but it’s a top one!
No artificial glue left to strain lashes
When it comes to the preservation of the integrity of the hair, lash lifts are gentler on the lashes in relation to other eyelash enhancement methods. For example, lash extensions require each lash to be connected to an artificial lash with adhesive 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With the lash lift, you process one time and then work on repair.
Cost effective, no fill required
The lash lift is a very low-maintenance service in comparison to other methods. Less frequent required visits is another benefit of the lift. Someone who can’t devote time every 2-3 weeks to fills would prefer the lift because you are looking at 6-10 weeks before you need another lift (depending on your natural lashes).
Lashes remain washable and makeup friendly
You’re looking at 48 hours post-treatment where you have to be cautious. However, after this period your lashes are safe for normal wear.
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 on Whyte Ave, Dérmica offers lash lift services. Lash Lifts are a new generation perming method that is safer and more effective than traditional lash perms.
We use silicone pads to “lift” each lash individually and create a subtle, natural looking curl, giving the illusion of length for a full, natural-yet-perfect look.
Once your 45-60-minute service has wrapped up, your lashes are left with a smooth curl that can last up to 6-8 weeks!
Preparing for your appointment
While not necessary, pretreating helps to condition the lashes in preparation for the chemical process. Consider adding a Lash conditIoner to your routine. It will add enhancers to strengthen the lashes pre-service. In addition, daily use will bring you back to par post-service.
