Lash Extensions
Mascara or traditional false eyelashes are a great way to make your lashes stand out, but they can be cumbersome to apply daily and don’t always create satisfying results. Lash extensions are a more long-lasting option, allowing you to enjoy long, full, and dark eyelashes 24/7. Nouveau Health and Wellness offers quality, long-lasting, beautiful lash extensions in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Book NowWhat are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions are synthetic false lashes that are individually applied to your natural lashes using professional-quality eyelash glue. They are lightweight and comfortable and provide significant added length and volume to your natural lashes. Eyelash extensions are customizable to your aesthetic preferences and can range from natural to dramatic.
Options for your ideal lash line include classic lashes that simply extend the look of your normal eyelashes in a pleasing way, as well as more dramatic solutions or even hybrid lash extensions that emphasize volume in a subtle way.
What to Expect During the Lash Extension Procedure
You should arrive at your lash appointment with no makeup, including avoiding curling your natural eyelashes or applying any oily skin care products such as a heavy eye cream. These products can interfere with the glue used in the lash extension procedure. Most patients also prefer to shower just before their appointment, as it is important not to get the lashes wet for 24 hours after the procedure.
The eyelash extension procedure will take about two to three hours to complete on average. During your appointment, your lash stylist will help determine the best style for your eye shape and aesthetic preferences. The lash extensions will then be individually applied to your natural lashes and secured using a specialized adhesive. This process is not painful whatsoever.
What to Expect After Getting Lash Extensions
Most people will find that their lash extensions feel strange at first, but they no longer notice them after a few days. Lash extensions should be more comfortable than temporary false eyelashes such as strip lashes. You should avoid getting the lash extensions wet for 24 hours and should avoid sleeping on your stomach to prevent crushing or displacing the lashes if possible.
Your lash artist will teach you how to comb the lashes using a spoolie, and advise which skincare products you should avoid—generally, oily products should be avoided. It is also best to avoid wearing mascara, waterproof makeup, or loose powder makeup. Finally, do not rub your eyes or curl your eyelashes, as these can cause breakage or other types of damage.
How Long to Eyelash Extensions Last?
Lash extensions are a semi-permanent solution for better-looking eyelashes, and you can schedule periodic refill appointments to maintain their appearance. As your natural lashes complete their growth cycles and shed, your lash extensions will shed along with them. This occurs about every six to eight weeks, with growth cycles for each individual natural lash staggered. For this reason, most lash extension specialists recommend that you schedule refill appointments for every two to three weeks. Following your lash tech’s advice regarding caring for your lashes will help extend their longevity.
