EYELASH EXTENSIONS
AFTER CARE
Now that you have your beautiful extensions, you will need to follow some simple aftercare rules to keep them looking their best.
-
Be gentle. Do not rub or pull on your eyelash extensions.
-
Keep all oil based products away from the eyes and remember that everything on your face will travel to the eye area.
-
Oil WILL breakdown the adhesive and you will have premature lash extension loss
-
Apply oil-free makeup remover with your fingers, rubbing gently down the lashes
-
We recommend The Lashe Mascara as it is designed to be worn with eyelash extensions and can be removed easily
-
Do not attempt to remove any lashes on your own, call us for an appointment
-
Wash your lashes daily. If you wash them, you will wear them longer. Cleansing daily will help remove oils.
-
Brushing solves most problems. Try brushing the lashes gently if you notice something amiss
-
Remain out of the sun for the duration of the treatment protocol and wear sunscreen (SPF 30 or greater).
-
Avoid hot baths, saunas, massages, etc., the first 2 days post-treatment.
-
Acne patients may return to regular medical skincare regime1–2 days post-treatment.
-
Blisters or ulcerated skin can be treated with prescribed antibiotic ointment.
-
Keep scabs soft with lubricating ointment and avoid picking or scrubbing them off. Allow for natural exfoliation to occur.
-
Shave the treatment area immediately prior to next treatment.
-
Do not leave stubble or hairs on the surface of the skin

AFTER CARE
Day 1-5:
The healing time for any given treatment varies between different clients. The
following represents the general recovery phases you might expect. Individual
clients may experience variations from this course.
Swelling/Discomfort/Redness:
-
Swelling of your wrinkles occurs immediately.
-
Significant swelling and redness of the treated areas and untreated parts may occur following your procedure and will be maximal at 24–48 hours.
-
To minimize swelling, keep your head elevated.
-
It is not uncommon for clients to have their under eye area swollen for the first 1 to 2 days, but this swelling will subside. There will be redness and very minimal warm emanating from the area for the first 24 hours (feels like a mild sunburn).
-
You should notify us if you experience pain that is severe or excessive, as this is unusual.
-
Tiny scabs will usually form 24–72 hours post-treatment and may remain for several days. The scabs should not be touched or scratched, even if they itch, and should be allowed to shed off naturally.

AFTER CARE
WAXING
AFTER CARE
-
Moisturize the waxed area regularly, preferably with a cream containing antiseptic properties such as tea tree oil, aloe vera, & witchhazel, which also helps in alleviating irritation.
-
Ingrown hairs are often caused by dry or flaky skin which trap the hairs and prevents them from growing through.
-
Avoid using creams that contain heavy perfumes or made with synthetic ingredients. Witchhazel (without alcohol) is excellent to apply after a wax, as it can help soothe irritated skin, and help prevent breakouts due to it’s antiseptic properties.
-
Avoid sun bathing, using tanning beds (and any other exposure to UV light), extreme heat (including hot baths, saunas, steam rooms) for 48 hours after you have been waxed.
-
Try to avoid any activity, such as exercising, for 24 hours, as sweat on freshly waxed skin can cause a rash or breakouts. Other activities to avoid immediately after a wax would be massages, swimming, or wearing very tight clothing.
