WHAT ARE EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

Unlike traditional false strip lashes, eyelash extensions have quickly become the first modernized option for lash lengthening, which can be worn daily without nightly removal. Eyelash extensions are an elegant way to extend the length, thickness and curl of your natural eyelashes, making them a functional, convenient and glamourous substitute to the daily use of applying mascara.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT?

For your first appointment we have you book a full set.  Once you have received your full set, fill appointments are needed every 2-4 weeks for as long as you wish to keep your extensions.  Fills are meant to maintain your eyelash extensions.

HOW LONG DO THEY LAST?

After a full set of lashes has been applied, fill appointments are needed to maintain the lashes. Your natural lashes go through a shedding cycle, therefore your extensions fall off with them.  Fills allow us to apply lash extensions to natural lashes that have recently grown in.  When applied by a professional, fills are needed every 2-4 weeks, depending on your activity and day-to- day routine.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I COME IN FOR A FILL?

We recommend getting a fill every 2-4 weeks. A lash fill is needed to compensate for any lashes that have fallen due to the natural cycle of your own lashes. Fill appointments require approximately 60-90 minutes.

CAN I APPLY MASCARA TO MY EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

One of the many benefits of eyelash extensions is that you do not need to use mascara! The extensions actually give the appearance of wearing mascara. If you must apply mascara, however, only use water-based mascara. DO NOT USE WATER-PROOF MASCARA as it can dissolve the bonding agent used, thus shorten the life of your eyelash extensions. At Skin, Brows & Lashes, we carry Mascara by NovaLash® which is specifically formulated for use on our extensions without effecting the adhesive.

If applying mascara over your extensions, be sure to apply no further than halfway down the lashes to keep away from the adhesive.

CAN EYELASH EXTENSIONS BE HARMFUL TO MY NATURAL LASHES?

When applied by a professional, eyelash extensions will not harm your natural lashes. Proper application and technique allows for natural lashes to grow and flourish while having lash extensions on.

Using the NovaLash® application technique requires several different “separation” steps during the application process, so each extension is attached to only a single natural lash in order to prevent disruption of the eyelash growth cycle.

WHAT AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD I BE FOLLOWING WITH MY LASH EXTENSIONS FROM LASH & BROW ARTISTRY?
 
  • Do not pull on your lashes
  • Use water based eye makeup remover or natural oils to loosen up and remove stay-all-day eye makeup.
  • Avoid rubbing your eyes excessively
  • Brush lashes daily with a clean lash wand to ensure lashes look their best and to rid any loose lashes
  • Do not do anything to alter the curl of your lashes (perm, mechanical curler, etc.)
  • Clean with a gentle cleanser daily
  • Stay away from extreme heats

WILL I BE ABLE TO SHOWER, SWIM OR EXERCISE WHILE WEARING EYELASH EXTENSIONS?

Yes. NovaLash adhesive, which is the brand of adhesive we use here at Skin, Brows & Lashes, is waterproof and oil proof, thus allowing you to shower, swim, exercise, and go about your daily activities immediately after your appointment.

I HEARD ELSEWHERE I COULDN’T USE OIL ON MY LASHES AND THAT I HAD TO WAIT TO GET THEM WET?

This is an out dated myth in the lash industry. At Skin, Brows & Lashes, we inform our clients that there are no restrictions of avoiding oil & water after receiving eyelash extensions services. We also carry retail products that will aid in keeping your lashes clean and fresh, thus allowing greater retention.

CAN THE EXTENSIONS BE REMOVED?

Yes, they can easily be removed by your lash artist.  Please do not attempt to remove any lashes on your own as you could damage your natural lashes.

CAN MY LASHES BE CUSTOMIZED TO A LOOK OF MY CHOOSING?

Your lash artist will hold a consultation at the beginning of your full set appointment and discuss with you what look you are trying to achieve with getting eyelash extensions. Whether it be a more natural look, dramatic look, or something more believable our lash artist are able to tailor to your desired looked.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO PREPARE FOR MY FULL SET APPOINTMENT?

Lashes should be free of any dust, oil, or makeup build up so remove any eye makeup with a mild cleanser. Oily lashes cause the lash extensions not to bond to the natural lash.

CAN I STILL GET LASH EXTENSIONS IF I WEAR CONTACTS?

Yes! Since lash extensions do not touch your skin, they will not interfere with your contacts or normal daily activities.

WOULD I BE ABLE TO GET A LASH LIFT WITH MY LASH EXTENSIONS ON?

No. A lash lift service is not able to be performed while you have eyelash extensions on.

WOULD I BE ABLE TO GET A LASH TINT WITH MY LASH EXTENSIONS ON?

Yes! We are still able to perform a lash tint, even if you have eyelash extensions on.

WHAT IF I HAVE LASHES FROM ANOTHER SALON, BUT WANT A FILL AT SKIN, BROW & LASHES?

We do welcome fill appointments from clients who have had their extensions applied elsewhere.  Since we cannot guarantee the work of other lash artist, we
require the extra time that enables us to ensure you leave with the best possible work.  The health of your natural lashes is our number one priority.

HOW LONG DOES A LASH LIFT LAST?

A lash lift can last up to 10 weeks.

HOW OFTEN CAN I GET A LASH LIFT?

We recommend waiting 7-8 weeks before getting another lash lift done.

WHAT IS EYEBROW TINTING?

A semi-permanent color customized for you is applied to your brows bringing forth hairs that usually go unnoticed, along with placing a temporary stain on the skin that acts as a guide to follow with your favorite brow makeup to help you recreate the shape at home.  Best when paired with a Brow Shaping.
Lasts 4-6 weeks.

WILL MY EYEBROWS BE BLACK FROM GETTING THEM TINTED?

Only if you want them to be!  We have a wide array of tones for blondes, redheads, and brunettes.

DO YOU OFFER EYEBROW THREADING SERVICES?

No. If you are sensitive to wax, we will still be able to shape your brows by tweezing and trimming.

I HAVE BEEN USING A RETIN-A CREAM, CAN I STILL MAKE A BROW APPOINTMENT?

Yes!  You just need to let your brow artist know any medications and skin care you are currently using.  Your brow artist may decide that it would be best to use a method other than waxing.  You can also stop using Retin-A closer to your brow
appointment, which may help reduce side effects from waxing.

DO YOU CARRY ANY PRODUCTS TO HELP ENHANCE THE GROWTH OF MY EYEBROWS?

Yes!  We have a couple of options for you, depending on your current brow situation and your goal. These serums deliver scientifically advanced peptides, nutritive vitamins to help beautify and enhance the look of bold, defined brows.

You can conveniently purchase these serums from Lash & Brow Artistry.

WHAT IS THE AFTERCARE FOR MICROBLADING?
 
  • For the first hour, pat the area gently with a clean tissue repeatedly to absorb any excess fluids.
  • Days 1-3, apply a thin layer of the aftercare product you received on your visit with a cotton swab 3 times a day. Refrain from using an excess amount. This is to prevent infection.

  • Do not pick or scratch your new brows.
  • Avoid physical activities that may cause sweating for the first 10 days.
  • Avoid submerging your brows in water for the first 10 days. When taking a shower be careful not to have water pouring directly onto your microbladed eyebrow area.

IF I AM PREGNANT OR BREAST FEEDING AM I ABLE TO GET MICROBLADING DONE?

Unfortunately no. Not only is there a risk of infection but also a shift in hormones during pregnancy may result in undesired color results.

WILL I EVER HAVE TO FILL IN MY BROWS AGAIN AFTER MY MICROBLADING PROCEDURE?

It depends. Once your brows are fully healed, you may still need to use powder or a pencil on your brows as this is an enhancement and is not permanent. Your genetics, physiological makeup, and lifestyle will affect the treatment in various ways.  The technique used will also determine this. Clients that chose to go with a powdered brow for example, may not need to fill in brows.

Fibroblast Skin Tightening

HOW DOES FIBROBLAST TREATMENT WORK?

Fibroblast is a relatively new innovation in the beauty industry in North America but has been used for a number of years in Europe. The extremely accurate hand- held device works by utilizing the voltage in the air between its tip and the natural gasses emitted from our skin, to form a plasma charge. A small electrical arc is created and instantly shrinks the targeted skin. The tissues retract and tighten giving you more youthful looking skin.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

As Fibroblast is more than a simple tightening treatment (skin volume is actually reduced), the effects should last as long as they would with invasive surgery. Like all surgical and cosmetic procedures, the effects of fibroblast are not entirely permanent as it does not stop any further ageing, but the positive results should last years, depending on the area treated. The positive effects of treatment will be noticeable immediately after the first treatment, but the final results will be seen after 8 weeks. For some, an additional treatment may be required after 8 weeks for maximum results.

Additionally, there are lifestyle factors that can prevent the result from lasting as long as they can, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and prolonged sun exposure.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED?

The number of treatments required will vary according to the area being treated, skin & laxity, the desired degree of correction and the individual’s response to the treatment. Most patients see results instantly and this continues to improve over the course of the following 8 weeks. Further treatments can be carried out to achieve better results.

Appointments must be spaced out by 4-8 weeks.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DAY OF TREATMENT?

On the treatment day, it is recommended that no make-up is worn on the treatment area. You may take an anti-histamine 30 minutes prior to your appointment to help with swelling and continue to take anti-histamines for 2-3 days following your appointment.

​A numbing agent is applied and left to take effect for up to 30 minutes. When the treatment area is sufficiently numb, the session begins with multiple connections of the fibroblast tip, spaced closely together.

You may feel some heat in the treatment area, which may be uncomfortable and slightly irritating. Treatment time is usually between 10-40 minutes, depending on the size of the area.
Immediately after treatment the area may be red and mildly swollen with small carbon crusts (spots).

You may experience a sensation similar to a sun burn which will likely last a few hours. Swelling may intensify over the following few hours and more so when eyes are treated and may last 2-3 days. The carbon crusts will lift within 5 -12 days depending on the individual and area treated.

Results gradually improve over the course of the following 8 weeks.

Following the treatment, you will be given thorough aftercare instructions to ensure that you see the best results. In the week following the treatment (or until the treatment area has fully healed) an exfoliating wash or cleanser should not be used. Instead opt for a pH balanced soap (i.e. Dove), and avoid rubbing the area.

Please call (812) 266-0709 as this treatment cannot be scheduled online.
