A lash lift is a beauty treatment that helps to improve the cosmetic appearance of the eyelashes. Lash lift treatments function in a fashion that is similar to a perm for your eyelashes.
This results in giving them a long-lasting curl and making them appear longer and more defined. The process involves the use of a solution to lift and curl the lashes from the base to the tip. This leads to an enhancement of the natural shape of lashes and gives the eyes a more open and rested look.
This treatment is ideal for those who want to enhance their natural lashes without the maintenance required for eyelash extensions. Lash tinting, on the other hand, is a procedure that involves applying a semi-permanent dye to your eyelashes, making them darker and more noticeable. This process helps to define the lashes, giving the appearance of mascara and makeup but without the need for daily application.
Patients at Advanced Health of Oakbrook often elect to combine lash lifts and tints as part of their custom beauty plan. When combined with a lash lift, the tint further enhances the overall effect, providing both curl and color for a more cosmetically pleasing appearance.
The longevity of lash lifts are influenced by various factors But they typically last between six to eight weeks, depending on the natural growth cycle of your eyelashes. As the lashes naturally shed and new ones grow in, the effects of the lift will gradually diminish over time.
For many individuals, a touch-up at Advanced Health of Oakbrook every two months is sufficient to maintain the desired look. The longevity of a lash lift can be extended and influenced by how well individuals adhere to aftercare instructions.
For the first 24 to 48 hours after the procedure, patients will be directed to avoid getting their lashes wet or applying any makeup to them. Doing so enables the perm to be fully set and subsequently helps to ensure that the results last as long as possible. After this initial period, patients are free to resume their normal beauty routine.
The lash lift procedure begins with a consultation with providers at Advanced Health of Oakbrook to determine the patient’s goals and treatment suitability. The provider will then clean the eye area and the natural lashes will be carefully curled over and attached to a rod using a special adhesive to set them in place.
Once positioned correctly, a lifting lotion will be applied to the relevant area to help allow the lashes to mold into place, followed by the use of a setting lotion to lock in the shape. The entire lash lift procedure process typically takes somewhere between 45 to 60 minutes.
After the lift solution is removed, patients will be advised to avoid water, makeup, and mascara for at least 24 hours to let the lashes set properly. The results are natural-looking, giving your lashes a beautiful, upward curl that lasts for several weeks.
For best results, providers at Advanced Health of Oakbrook can recommend ways to keep your lashes conditioned and healthy post-treatment.
How long a lash tint lasts varies according to individual factors; however, they typically fall within the range of three to four weeks, during which time the dye gradually fades as your lashes grow and shed.
The tint enhances the color of your natural lashes, making them look fuller and more defined without the need for mascara. The exact duration can vary based on factors such as your hair growth cycle and how well you take care of your lashes and adhere to aftercare instructions as directed by providers at Advanced Health of Oakbrook.
Regular touch-ups every few weeks can keep your lashes looking their best and ensure that the tint retains the desired appearance.
