The lash lift treatment

An LVL lash lift is a 1 hour treatment. LVL lifts the lashes from the root. It also incorporates a top and bottom lash tint to give the appearance of thicker, longer lashes. The lash lift lasts 6-8 weeks with the correct aftercare – I highly recommend the use of a conditioning lash serum (available from me at the time of your treatment) to keep your lashes in beautiful condition.

Just imagine, no more lash curlers, no more mascara and a wide awake look in the mornings. Together with the fact that LVL is a cruelty-free treatment, what more could you ask for?

Whereas a lash perm curls the entire lash, creating a soft curl across the whole length of the eye lashes, LVL lifts the lashes directly from the root. This results in a more upright curl and thus a more dramatic effect. Different levels of curl are available depending on the look you are seeking to create, as well as the natural length and thickness of your lashes. As an experienced lash technician, I will recommend what is best suited to you.

Patch test for your lash lift in Kent

Patch tests are a necessary part of an LVL treatment and must be carried out every six months. They are done at my studio in Kent and take about 5 minutes. They must be carried out at least 48 hours before your LVL treatment.

Pre-lash lift treatment and aftercare advice

Pre-treatment care and aftercare is very important with lash lift treatments. I will always give written guidance on this. For reference, please see below.

Pre-lash treatment advice

24 hours prior to treatment

• Do not wear water-proof mascara (and preferably no mascara at all)
• Do not use oil-based eye makeup remover
• If you have had a spray tan, ensure the guide colour is washed off

On the day of treatment

• Do not wear mascara (eye makeup removal will incur an additional £5 charge)
• Do not have a spray tan
• Avoid applying oily products on your lashes or around your eyes
• Contact lenses must be removed prior to the treatment – for this reason I recommend glasses are worn

Aftercare lash advice

• For the first 24 hours after your lash lift treatment it’s important not to allow water to come in to contact with your lashes
• For 48 hours do not steam your face, use a steam bath, swim or wash your face with hot water. Be careful when opening the oven/dishwasher too!
• Do not use waterproof mascara
• Use oil-free makeup remover if mascara is worn
• Only use a water-based mascara (this can be purchased from the studio)
• Don’t rub your eyes when washing your face and always pat the lashes dry gently after cleansing
• Ensure lashes are not manipulated into different positions (e.g. when sleeping, cleansing the face, applying moisturiser or cosmetics)
• Use a lash conditioning serum to keep lashes in the best possible condition (this can be purchased from the studio in Hastings)
