Preparation for Pre-Eyelash Extensions Appointment
Because of the amount of time involved in this procedure, it is crucial that some things are done before your appointment:
* Please, remove all eye makeup by using a gentle, non-oil-containing cleanser. Eye makeup affects the adhesive bond and reduces how long your eyelash can last.
* If you’re wearing contact lenses, remove them.
* Wear clothing that you’ll be comfortable in. A blanket will be available if you feel cold.
* To ensure you are comfortable and to save time, go to the bathroom before the procedure.
* Do not rub-on face creams or sunblock on the portion of the eyes that is to be treated. Many moisturizers contain oils that prevent adhesives from sticking to the natural eyelash and shorten the lifespan of the eyelash extensions.
* Do not wear mascara. Cleaning mascara takes a lot of time and makeup that is left can obstruct the effectiveness of the extension applied.
* Do not put on curly eyelashes before the appointment. Extensions don’t fit well with wavy eyelashes.
* Put your phone on the silent mode during the extension application. Communication in the treatment location is not advised because precision is required in the process. You are free to rest or listen to an audio during the extension application.
* If you currently have eyelash extensions that were not put on by us, please schedule a removal service on your first visit. It is best to prevent the harm that comes with mixing various adhesives and materials with extensions from other salons.
What should I expect from the start through the end of the session?
On your arrival, the first thing you’ll be required to do is complete a short form of Client reference. We’ll look into your requirements and expectations after a thorough assessment. You will lay on a soothing swivel-type treatment bed and close your eyes. It is strictly advised that you remove all eye makeup before your appointment. If you are unable to do this before your appointment, we’ll have to start with this before the procedure begins. A small under-eye pad will be used to protect your lower lashes. Every non-natural lash will be soaked in a bonding solvent that has a medical grade quality and then applied to each eyelash. The choice of lash length and the quantity used is determined by the client’s requests, and the thickness and health of the natural lashes. The whole procedure often takes between 90 to 150 minutes for a complete set. Fills take between 30 to 90 minutes.
Post Eyelash Extensions Care (Post Appointment)
An aftercare treatment is often an easy one to undertake as adequate care will prolong how well your eyelash extensions last.
The 48 hours after the procedure are very important in the treatment for a long lasting bond. The adhesive must dry up properly. For this reason, it is vital you abide by these instructions:
* Ensure they remain dry. Don’t shower or use hot water to wash your face. Don’t wet your lashes.
* Don’t go swimming and avoid places with thermal bath or heat.
* Don’t use lotions or oil-containing creams around or on the eyes.
* Don’t use makeups on your eyes or lashes.
* Avoid these treatments on the eyes – perming, chemical treatment and tinting.
* Also avoid waxing, chemical peels or the use of laser treatments on the eye area.
* Don’t sleep on your stomach or your side.
After the first two days, the adhesives will dry. However, some activities will reduce the strength of the adhesive bond and consequently lead to an untimely loss of the extensions. Hence, these recommendations are advised:
* You may shower or swim but ensure not to expose yourself too much to water or heat.
* Be mild, never rub your eyes aggressively and don’t pull the lashes because this can both pull out the eyelashes and the extension.
* Do away with oil-containing eye products or makeup cleaning products containing oils. These kinds of products weaken the bond strength of the adhesive. We suggest you use Eye Makeup Remover facial cleanser and non-lint containing applicators to remove makeup.
* Using mascara will reduce the longevity of the lash extensions. You may choose to use water-based mascara that is not in excess.
* Don’t use eyelash curlers. They will ruin both the man-made and natural lashes.
Pre-Permanent Cosmetics Appointment
What You Need To Know Before You Start
All cosmetic procedures that are considered to be permanent involve more than one session before they are completed. These multi-session procedures require you to visit again for at least one touch-up, with a pause of up to six weeks between appointments, to assure the ideal result.
For long-lasting procedures to achieve perfect coloration, your appearance goes through an initial phase that will be significantly darker, brighter or sharper. The transition to the final, desired look depends on how long it takes the outer layer of your skin to exfoliate.
Another important thing to bear in mind is that while tattooed colors remain constant and perfect, the color of your own skin doesn’t. There are multiple factors that can lead to these variations like the exposure to heat, cold, circulatory changes and, of course, suntan. For example, let’s say that you have had a scar camouflage and your skin tans; in this case, the surrounding skin will look darker than the treated area because of the natural properties of the dermis of your skin.
- The procedure might swell or redden sensitive areas and delicate skin; so you might not want to make any immediate social plans a day or two after. It is also advised not to undergo any of these procedures months prior to life events such as weddings. Under certain circumstances, some procedures might take more time than expected.
- It is important not to wear mascara when you come for an eyeliner procedure. You can wear your normal daily makeup otherwise and bring your brow pencils to your consult, but you do not have to.
- There should be at least a 48 hours interval between any tweezing and/or waxing in the area where the procedure will take place. For electrolysis, the interval should be at least five days. After the procedure, do not recommence ANY hair removal method for at least two weeks.
- In the case of eyelash tinting or curling, and eyebrow coloring, these should not be done any sooner than 48 hours before the procedure and two weeks afterward.
- If you wear contact lenses, please DO NOT wear them to the procedure or for at least 48 hours after it has been done. In case you need them, bring your glasses with you. To go back to wearing your contacts, your eyes should be back to their pre-tattooed condition.
- For safety reasons, we recommend someone as to accompany you or drive you home after an eyeliner procedure.
- All blood-thinning medications including alcohol, ibuprofen or any aspirin-containing medications must be avoided seven days before and two days after any procedure takes place. Also, no judgment-altering drugs should be consumed 24 hours prior to any procedure. Please note that we recommend medical and professional advice before discontinuing any medication. If requested, a skin test can be performed.
Post Permanent Cosmetics
Aftercare Instructions
The best results after any procedure are achieved when proper aftercare measures are applied carefully. The purpose of the touch-up visit is to correct any color or shape unevenness that can be expected in many cases.
Please read the following directions, as they are necessary for a proper after-treatment care. If any questions remain unanswered or you have any further concerns, please don´t hesitate to contact us.
- The use of ice packs protected with a cloth is recommended to reduce swelling, except in the case of lip procedures. Sleeping in a slightly elevated position might help alleviate inflammation the morning after facial procedures.
- Hygiene is very important when dealing with any treated area. We recommend the gentle use of cotton-tipped applicators to clean the eye zone. Dirty or unsanitary conditions are to be avoided; we recommend the use of glasses outdoor to protect new eyeliner from dust or any other particles in the air.
- Although itching is normal, we strongly advise you DO NOT SCRATCH, PICK OR PEEL the treated area(s) or you might be at risk of local infection. Besides facing a health issue, your color might heal unevenly.
- Please do not apply makeup on the tattooed area for 72 hours (three days) after the procedure. If you had an eyeliner procedure done, new mascara should be used after those first 3 non-makeup days. Please note that you must not use an eyelash curler for two weeks after the treatment.
- No products should be used on healing the skin other than the ones instructed to you by our team, including skin creams, ointments or lotions, for at least 3 days after the procedure.
- It is very important to avoid exposing the healing skin to the direct sun (including tanning beds), saunas, extremely hot, salty or chlorinated water (including pools) for at least two weeks after your procedure.
PLEASE REMEMBER:
- Your skin needs extra protection, so please use a good sunscreen on a daily basis (lips included). Unprotected sun exposure will cause irritation and permanent cosmetics to fade even years after the procedure.
- Cosmetic tattoos should be described to physicians before chemical exfoliation or any other medical procedure.
Approximate Healing Schedule For Permanent Cosmetics
Eye Brows
What to Expect:
Days 1 and 2: Expect you will see a result that is 20 to 60% darker, bolder, and more solid than the final, healed result. Minimal, limited swelling might be present because the eyebrow area does not retain much fluid.
Day 3: This is the day you exercise your patience to the extreme since your eyebrows may begin to itch, just DON´T SCRATCH THEM! Don´t worry if pigment appears somewhat raised, just remember not to scratch.
Days 3 to 5: The top layers of your skin will begin to shed and you will see a loss of color. Don´t worry, it is perfectly normal.
Days 4 to 6: Your skin is now exfoliating rapidly and for a natural and even shed, please avoid touching it (Again, please, do not scratch!). The dermis will become increasingly transparent, but until then you will notice the color appears lighter than it will be later.
Days 30 to 40: A full cycle of cellular regeneration has now been completed for your eyebrows, and the tattoo itself has become a part of the dermis. This is your final result, if you are not 100% happy, please call us and come in for your touch-up.
Eye Liner
What to Expect:
Day of the procedure: This is variable and can go from slightly puffy to swollen, heavy lids; and photosensitive and perhaps bloodshot eyes. Our advice is to sleep in an elevated position to reduce overnight swelling.
Day 1: Your eyes will be swollen and, perhaps, a bit ‘crusty’ upon waking. During the daytime, the increased circulation in the area from the upright position and the blinking will reduce the swelling in the area. Do not make any physical efforts, avoid heavy lifting, and crying.
Day 2: Your eyes will feel tight and be less swollen. You might experience pain when touching the lash area, this is completely normal.
Days 3 to 6: This is the moment to be patient because the top layer of the skin will begin to flake off. Please DO NOT PICK the detached small pieces of pigment and epidermis, or you will pull the pigment and the result will be an uneven color. Blinking helps getting rid of the little particles, but please do not rub your eyes or pick the skin.
Days 7 to 9: By now, all shedding should be complete and you are safe to put your face back under the shower spray! The tattoo may appear to have vanished, but do not worry. It is normal, just another stage of the healing process. The pigment will emerge again once that stage is finished.
Day 10: Now you will see a very close result to the final healed one. But if you are not 100% happy with what you see, please wait the final three weeks and return for a touch-up procedure.
NOTE: The outcome of permanent cosmetic procedures depends largely on the skin where it is applied. There are multiple factors that influence the outcome such as how damaged from sun exposure, or oily or dry it is. Also please note that more mature clients may need an additional one to two weeks of healing for the final results to be as beautiful.
Please also note that the better care you take of your skin and protect it from UV rays in this process, the better the outcome and lifespan of the permanent cosmetics procedure.
Post-Treatment Instructions
TATTOO LIGHTENING
The best results are only achieved by carefully following these instructions. If during your healing process you have any questions or concerns, please contact us, and we will be happy to help.
Please note that the Tattoo Lightening procedure is a multi-step process, and it is expected that you will return for more than one treatment. The scheduling of additional visits should be done with at least 2 to 3 months from the moment the last treatment was performed. Also, keep in mind that in many cases the tattoo will not fade evenly.
Please read the following directions responsively as they are necessary.
You will notice that immediately after the procedure takes place, it will appear to be very purple, blue or red and that the initial color intensity will be significantly brighter or darker. Do not worry, this should fade as it heals. Your own natural healing as well as how the tattoo was applied will also determine how the transition develops. Also, depending on the tattoo, the area might become darker before it fades.
The best results are achieved by taking proper care when following up your procedure. If during your healing process you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
- We recommend the use of ice packs protected with a clean cloth to reduce swelling. Please notice that ice should not have direct contact with your skin at all.
- The first two days after the procedure was done is normal to expect bruising and bleeding.
- Make sure to follow strict hygiene procedures with the treated area: always wash your hands and do not expose the area to dirty or unsanitary conditions.
- Natural peeling is the best way to achieve a perfectly even color. Please note this, since itching, scabbing and the formation of a dark crust are perfectly normal. Please DO NOT PICK, PEEL OR SCRATCH over the treated area, it might cause uneven color and extend the healing time. If the removal is in a high friction area or you can´t avoid scratching, cover it with a bandage. It is imperative not to shave the area until all scabbing has perfectly healed.
- If the removal is on the face, please do not apply makeup for 72 hours (three days). If you had an eyeliner procedure done please follow those three days with the use of new mascara for the following ten. Please note that you must not use an eyelash curler for two weeks after the treatment.
- No products should be used on the healing skin other than the ones instructed to you by our team, including skin creams, ointments, or lotions for at least 3 days after the procedure. It is very important to avoid exposing the healing skin to the direct sun (including tanning beds), saunas, extremely hot, salty or chlorinated water (including pools) for at least two weeks after your procedure.
- Please make sure to keep the treated area as dry as possible for at least three days. You can continue to shower washing the treated area gently with mild soap and water, and pat it dry as soon as possible (please do NOT rub it). It is important not to expose the area directly under a shower spray, scrub it, sit in a spa, swim in a pool, soak your body or do any activity where the area is submerged in the water.
- When itchiness develops to the point it is irritating, anti-itch, bandage or tape should be applied over the area after the first week of treatment. Scratching is to be avoided at all costs, since it can cause additional irritation and possible scarring.
- If the original color is not completely faded after the first procedure is applied, the process might be repeated once the skin is completely healed, usually after 3 months later.
- Your treated skin area can be re-tattooed after the skin has completely healed, usually after 3 months.
NOTE: The outcome of the tattoo lightening process depends largely on your skin as well as the implementation process and materials used in the original tattoo. Clients should have realistic expectations as Trendy Lash Styles may not achieve the ideal results for tattoo lightening.
