In recent years, lash lifts and tints have become increasingly popular beauty treatments, offering a fantastic way to enhance the natural beauty of your lashes without extensions. Etobicoke’s Iluma Medispa, renowned for its top-notch beauty services, presents a remarkable opportunity for individuals to experience the transformative effects of a lash lift and tint. Here, we will delve into the process of preparing for a lash lift and tint at Iluma Medispa, ensuring you are well-informed and ready to embrace the stunning results.

What is a lash lift & tint?

Understanding Lash Lift and Tint

A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that curls and lifts your natural lashes, making them appear longer and more voluminous. Unlike lash extensions, which involve adding synthetic lashes to your existing ones, a lash lift accentuates your natural lashes, providing a more subtle yet impactful enhancement.

What is a Lash Tint?

A lash tint involves applying a specially formulated dye to your lashes, darkening them to create a mascara-like effect. This process adds depth and intensity to your lashes, making them stand out even more after the lash lift.

Preparing for your lash lift & tint

Consultation and Allergies

Schedule a consultation with the lash technician at Iluma Medispa. During the consultation, discuss any allergies you may have and inform them about any eye conditions. This will ensure that the products used are suitable for you and minimize the risk of adverse reactions.

Follow Pre-Appointment Instructions

Iluma Medispa will likely provide you with pre-appointment instructions to ensure optimal results. These may include avoiding the use of waterproof mascara and lash serums in the days leading up to your appointment.

Arrive with Clean Lashes

On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean, makeup-free lashes. This will allow the lash technician to work on your lashes more effectively and ensure a better bond with the lifting and tinting products.

Comfortable Clothing

Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment, as the lash lift and tint process may take some time. Being at ease during the treatment will enhance your overall experience.

The lash lift & tint process: what to expect

Let’s take a closer look at what happens during a lash lift and tint procedure:

Lash Lift

Your lashes are delicately curled using a silicone pad called a rod, which imparts a flirty curve to your lashes. A gentle solution is applied to soften the lashes, allowing them to be reshaped into an upward curl. Another solution is then used to set the new shape.

  • Duration: Approximately one hour
  • Results Last: From 4 to 8 weeks

Lash Tint

Following the lash lift, a special dye is applied to your lashes, providing a darker and thicker appearance. The result is longer, fuller, and more defined natural lashes that enhance the beauty of your eyes.

  • Duration: Approximately 30 minutes
  • Results Last: From 3 to 6 weeks

Consultation and Desired Results

At the beginning of your appointment, the lash technician will have a brief consultation with you to understand your desired results. Whether you prefer a natural look or a more dramatic effect, communicating your preferences is crucial for achieving the perfect outcome.

Cleansing and Isolation

The lash technician will thoroughly clean your lashes to remove any traces of oil or makeup. Next, they will isolate your lashes using medical-grade tape or gel pads to ensure precise application and protect the skin around your eyes.

Lash Lift Procedure

During the lash lift procedure, the technician will apply a lifting solution to your lashes, gently curling them at the base. This creates a beautiful lifted effect, opening up your eyes and giving them a more awake appearance.

Lash Tint Application

After the lash lift, the technician will apply the lash tint, carefully coating each lash with the chosen color. This step adds depth and richness to your lashes, making them look darker and more prominent.

Nourishing and Conditioning

To complete the process, a nourishing and conditioning solution will be applied to your lashes. This helps keep them healthy and strong, ensuring the longevity of the results.

lash lift & tint Aftercare tips

Avoid Water and Heat

For the first 24 hours after the treatment, avoid water, steam, and excessive heat on your lashes to allow the lift and tint to set properly.

Be Gentle with Your Lashes

Treat your lashes gently, avoiding rubbing or pulling on them. Using a lash serum daily can also help maintain their health and appearance.

Use Oil-Free Makeup Remover

When removing makeup, opt for oil-free makeup removers, as oil-based products can weaken the lift and tint.

Regular Lash Maintenance

To prolong the effects of the lash lift and tint, consider scheduling regular touch-up appointments.
