For those of you who are obsessed with the “idea” of natural beauty, professional makeup expert Sandra Viglino provides a revolutionary new way to “wake up like this,” with the Keratin Lash Lift, a safe, natural way to enjoy lush, full lashes without the false look of lash extensions, which can be challenging to maintain and can weaken and strip away your own natural lashes over time.
What it Lash Lift?
The Keratin Lash Lift, created in 2008 by Swiss Permanent Makeup Expert and Derma-Pigmentologist Sandra Viglino, is a unique technique designed to lift and darken the lashes without the use of false lashes. Instead, natural lashes are filled with a specially formulated pigment infusion, and as a result, under goers experience longer, thicker, darker lashes that perfectly curl upward.
The Keratin eyelash lift, which utilizes keratin, a naturally occurring protein that makes up the exterior layers of human skin, is hypoallergenic and free of harsh chemicals, para bens, or formaldehyde.
How Does the Keratin Lift Differ From a Growth Serum?
While growth serums can be effective, they can be costly and require a subscription. In addition, they also typically require daily use, whereas the Keratin Lift is a one time treatment that lasts for weeks.
How is the Keratin Lift Performed?
This pain-free treatment typically involves a five step process.
To begin, the client is positioned comfortably, usually laying down on a table or on a couch, then the eyelashes are cleaned and combed to prepare them for the treatment.
Once the lashes are thoroughly prepped, soothing gel pads are applied to the both the upper and lower lashes, using a water soluble adhesive, to protect the eyes. In addition, the gel pads contain co enzyme Q10, which have anti aging benefits.
The client will then close their eyes and relax.
Next, the eyelashes are brushed back so they stick to the gel pads. Many clients liken this experience to the sensation of positioning your eyelashes between eyelash curlers.
Next, the specially formulated keratin treatment is applied using various strokes with a brush until the lashes are the desired density. The formula is then allowed to permeate the lashes for approximately 10 minutes, depending on the shape and size of your lashes.
Once the formula has had sufficient time to fill the lashes, the eyes are then wiped clean and a neutralizing solution is applied, followed by a lash conditioning treatment, giving way to beautiful, lush lashes in an instant.
The entire process from beginning to end takes about an hour and a half to complete and will continue to develop over the next few days, for luxurious lashes to be proud to don while out, as well as wake up to.
Immediately following the treatment, clients are not be permitted to get their lashes wet for 48 hours, after which time they can continue mascara use if they’d like, and they will also be provided a keratin mascara to moisturize and condition their lashes night and day to keep them luscious and full. Clients may also be instructed to avoid waterproof and oil-based cosmetics, which may prematurely strip the treatment.
How Long Does Lash Lifting Last?
When properly applied and cared for, the Keratin Lift can last up to three months, which is the natural life cycle for lashes, as compared to professional false eyelash applications, which typically only last a few weeks.
How Much Does it Cost?
The lash lift costs approximately $150 per treatment as compared to about $170 for a full set of false lashes and an additional $95 every three weeks for a touch up. Please visit our service page to get special deal for Lash lift Melbourne.
Are There any Risks Involved with Eyelash Lifting?
“As with any treatment that involves the use of chemicals around the eyes, you run the risk of irritation,” warns oculoplastic surgeon Jacqueline R. Carrasco M.D. Furthermore, if the treatment is not applied properly and keratin gets into the eyes or surrounding skin, you run the risk of developing dermatitis, a skin condition that causes inflammation, blisters, swelling, and redness. “And though specific incidents in which clients have had bad experiences with keratin lash lifts have been observed,” acknowledges optometrist and associate dean of academic affairs at the Ohio State University College of Optometry Micheal J. Early Ph.D, “caution should be when using new treatments around the eyes.”
Therefore, when considering an eyelash lift, it is strongly recommended that the treatment be performed by a carefully skilled and trained eyelash specialist who employs the proper technique and care to avoid injuries.
Who are Good Candidates for lash lift Treatment?
Anyone with sufficient lashes and an insensitivity to keratin is a good candidate for the Keratin lift. On the other hand, the keratin treatment is not recommended for those with sensitive eyes, eczema, or very short lashes. In addition, individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, are allergic to plasters, have Alopecia, or who suffer from conjunctivitis are also not good candidates for the treatment.
Where can I get the Keratin Lift?
Various editors, social media influencers, celebrities, and celebrity makeup artists, such as Ariel Tejada, Hrush Achemyan-make up artist to the Kardashian-Jenner’s, and Karrueche Tran, currently receive their lift from Los Angeles-based eyelash artist Elysee Zhadikpur, multi-year Keratin lift practicer, master trainer for YumiLashes, and who is also credited with introducing the technique to LA after learning it in Switzerland.
