LASH LIFTS
This innovative, non-damaging treatment lifts and curls the natural lashes while infusing them with keratin and biotin for strength. The lift normally lasts 6-8 weeks, sometimes up to 10 – this depends on your skin type. As your lash cycle progresses, the lift grows out/drops gradually over a couple of months.
Elleebana lash lift is the perfect low maintenance pick-me-up – infills are not required, as only your natural lashes are used. It’s best paired with a tint for extra darkness, as your lashes will appear even longer!
Contraindications for Lash Lifting
Is lash lift safe?
Though we want everyone to have beautifully lifted lashes, there are certain circumstances where we would not perform a lash lift. These are known as contraindications, where the treatment’s negative effects could outweigh the benefits. If any of the following contraindications sound like you, we’d recommend refraining from booking in for a lash lift – if you do have any questions, however, please get in touch with our friendly team of lash and brow specialists
We cannot perform a lash lift if:
- You have had a successful lash lift recently. If your lashes were lifted less than 8 weeks ago, we’d recommend waiting to book in your next lift for the sake of your lash health. A lash lift usually takes six to eight weeks to grow out, depending on the rate of growth of your natural lashes. If another treatment were to be performed, there is a risk of damaging or over-processing your lashes. If you aren’t sure how long it’s been since your last treatment, or you’d like our technicians to assess your lashes, feel free to schedule a consultation with our technician.
Please note: unsuccessful lash lifts, where the lashes have not lifted properly, can normally book in for a remedial lift under certain circumstances
- You have had a previous allergic reaction to lash lifting. In the case of most allergies, repeat exposure to an allergen will result in worse reactions.
Please note: this does not necessarily apply to those allergic to lash extensions. As a lash lift treatment does not involve any skin contact or glue exposure, it is often a great alternative for those with a glue allergy. The glue used does not contain the same ingredients as eyelash extension adhesive.
- You have had laser eye surgery in the previous six weeks. The cornea is still in the healing phase for the first six weeks, and can be severely irritated by any eye treatments. We need written permission from your doctor to proceed in this case.
- You have any evidence of eye inflammation, a stye or an eye infection. Your eye area needs to be completely healthy for any treatments to be safely applied. Our stylists cannot work closely with any of these conditions for health and safety reasons, and any appointments should be delayed until all symptoms have ceased.
- You are on hormonal medication (e.g.) roaccutane, thyroid medication. These types of medications make it difficult to predict how effective the lash lifting solution will be, and we cannot guarantee the results. We do not recommend lash lifting for our clients on hormonal medication, but it is possible to proceed – you just need to be aware that there is a chance the lash lift may not work very well.
Please note: if you are on any medications such as those listed above and really want to go ahead with the procedure, let us know! We cannot provide a guarantee that the lash lift will be as successful or long-lasting as we would like, but your lash stylist will do her best to accommodate and give you the best result they can.
