For the first 24 hours…

The first 24 hours are crucial for ensuring your extensions are long lasting.

Avoid breaking down the adhesive bond of the eyelash extensions by following these simple steps:

• Avoid getting your eyelashes wet.
• Avoid steam from saunas, swimming, showers or jacuzzis.
• Do not use sunbeds.
• Do not brush your eyelash extensions or move them excessively.
• If you use contact lenses, wait 24 hours before reinserting them.
• Do not undergo eyebrow treatments such as tinting or waxing.

Important tips

• Eyelashes should not be permed or tinted for at least 72 hours prior to having eyelash extensions applied.
• Do not use mechanical or heated curlers on your eyelashes.
• Be gentle with your lashes - try to avoid rubbing them or touching them.
• Be careful when applying sun cream or touching them.
• Use oil-free makeup remover to clean your eyelashes and eye area.
• Do not use any oil free (waterproof) mascara

Protecting your skin before, between and after sessions.

Before you begin your laser course you MUST have a patch test regardless of if you have had laser treatment elsewhere and have been lasered more than 1 year ago on our machine.

You must inform your therapist of any changes to mediation or pregnancy before each session.

Before treatment:

• The area being lasered needs to be shaved 24 hours before treatment (not before patch test).
• Avoid skin exposure to UV (sun or sunbeds) or self tan 2 weeks prior to treatment.

During and after treatment:

• Avoid exposing skin to UV light (sunlight or sunbeds) or self-tan for at least 2 weeks after treatment. This is to minimise darkening of the skin (hyperpigmentation).
• Avoid heat treatments such as spas, steam rooms and saunas for 7 days.
• Avoid excessive scrubbing or applying pressure to the skin for 4-5 days. This is to allow the treated skin to recover and to prevent any infection.
• Avoid shaving the treated area for 72 hours after treatment.
• Avoid exercising for at least 48 hours.
• Avoid hot baths and hot showers for 48 hours.
• Avoid anything that involves chlorine (e.g swimming) for 48 hours.
• Avoid make-up on the treated area for at least 48 hours.
• Avoid the application of perfumed products or bleaching creams for 48 hours.
• Avoid scratching the treatment area if blistering or crusting occurs, as this can cause scarring.
• Avoid waxing, tweezing and threading for the complete duration of the treatment course.
• Do not use active cosmetics which contain Retinol or AHA when on your treatment plan.
• Do not exfoliate or have a peel for 1 week after treatment.
• SPF is advised whilst on the treatment plan.

For the first 24 hours...

• Avoid direct contact with water.
• Avoid saunas and steam rooms.
• Avoid swimming or exercise that could cause excessive perspiration.
• Avoid covering and sleeping on the lashes as this will cause the lashes to distort.
• Do not apply lash extensions or strip lashes.
• Do not perm lashes or use heated curlers.

What to expect:

After you have a micro-needling procedure, some side effects are to be expected. When you leave your appointment, your skin may be flushed or bright red.

Aftercare tips:

• Make sure to apply sunscreen anytime you go outside in the days following your treatment.
• Don’t spend prolonged time out in the sun for the first week after your micro-needling procedure, as you’ll be more prone to sun damage than usual.
• Avoid overly touching your face.
• Don’t put on make-up 24 hours following micro-needling.
• You’ll also need to avoid swimming pools, saunas, and situations where you might sweat heavily, including intense workouts at the gym, to protect your newly treated skin.
• Use an SPF of at least 30.

What to use and avoid:

For the first few days after your micro-needling procedure, you’ll need to avoid any skin care product that contains harsh chemicals meant to exfoliate. Avoid anything that is scented, and don’t use glycolic acid or alpha hydroxy acids. Retinol A and vitamin C serum should be avoided for the first 48 hours, minimum, after micro-needling.

Hyaluronic is recommended in some cases to help stimulate collagen production after your procedure.

To ensure maximum effective results follow these simple steps below…

What to expect:

While this peel is formulated to be gentle, you may experience mild peeling and redness on your journey to relieving fresh, glowing skin.

Step 1: Sunscreen

Use sunscreen with an spf of at least 30 at all times for at least a week. It is recommended that you continue to use these products to help protect your skin and maintain the benefits of the peel.

Step 2: Avoid too much sun exposure

Too much sun exposure may cause improper healing and in some cases can reverse the effects of the peel.

Step 3: No exfoliation

Treat the skin gently and avoid exfoliation. Although you may experience mildly dry red or flaking skin for several days after your peel, do not pick at the peeling skin.

Step 4: Products to avoid

Avoid alpha and beta-hydroxy acid products, retinoids, retinols and facial products containing fragrance for a few days after the peel instead use Obagi hydrate.
