Preparation before your LVL Lash Lift treatment begins:

We’ll need to perform a patch test 48 hours before your LVL eyelash enhancement, to test the products against your skin and make sure there are no allergies or sensitivities.

Because this treatment works on your natural lash line, you should keep your eyelashes clean on the day of your treatment, and remove false lashes. We will also clean your lashes before we start the treatment.

Before your treatment begins, we will discuss the style you want to achieve, deciding on the colour of your eyelash tint and the tightness of the curl. 

If you like, your LVL eyelash lift can be applied at the same time as a bespoke brow lamination, the perfect treatment combination to make your eyes stand out. For more details, please view our combination brow lamination and lash lift treatment page.

The entire LVL lash lift process takes about 50 minutes from start to finish, with most of this time being used to close your eyes, relax, and let the serums work their magic. 

To start, our qualified lash artist will cleanse your eyelashes and apply the appropriate shape shield to protect your under-eye area. 

Depending on the type of curl you choose, we will apply the appropriate curling rod (a small silicone bar) to your upper eyelid, above the lash line. Our lash expert will use a bonding gel to press your eyelashes against the curling rod, holding them in place and encouraging the lift and curl action we’re looking for. 

We will then cover your natural lashes with a lifting balm, which will manipulate the hairs and lift them from the root. Next, we’ll apply a volumising fix to seal your lashes into their newly lifted, curly look. Lastly, we will tint the lashes.

How to look after your lashes after an LVL treatment:

In the 48 hours after your treatment, it’s extremely important that you avoid getting your eyelashes wet, as this would damage the treatment. You should also avoid wearing eye makeup in these 48 hours. 

To get the most out of your long-lasting LVL treatment, there are a few things you can do to maintain your beautiful lashes in between visits to the salon:

• Brush your lashes through with an eyelash brush every day, or any time you get them wet
• Avoid rubbing or pulling on your lashes
• Take care when removing eye makeup, gently pressing your makeup remover against your lashes rather than scrubbing them
• Avoid using eyelash curling tools (luckily, your naturally curly lashes won’t need them anyway)
• Avoid oils in your makeup and skincare products

The LVL lash lift has become an incredibly popular beauty treatment in recent years, as it’s a pain-free, straightforward process that allows you to wake up every day with perfectly curled lashes. 

The benefits of an LVL lash lifting treatment include:

– Natural-looking results

– Lashes are lifted for a bright-eyed look 

– Creates the appearance of longer, fuller lashes

– Simplifies your morning routine – you can skip the eyelash curler and mascara altogether 

– Long-lasting results – enjoy up to 8 weeks of beautiful, gravity-defying lashes

Comprehensive Aftercare Guidance for LVL Eyelash Lift Treatment at Araya Beauty:

Immediate Post-Treatment Care (First 24 Hours):

• Avoid Water Exposure: Refrain from water exposure, including showers and swimming, for the first 24 hours after the LVL eyelash lift treatment. This allows the lifting lotion to set fully and ensures optimal results.
• Gentle Touch: Be cautious with your eyelashes and avoid rubbing or touching them for the first 24 hours to prevent any disruption to the lifting process.
• No Eye Makeup: Avoid applying mascara or any eye makeup immediately after the treatment to allow the lifted lashes to settle.
• 
  

Daily Care (After the First 24 Hours):

• Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse your lashes with a mild, oil-free cleanser daily. Use a gentle touch and avoid rubbing the lashes to maintain the lifted effect.
• Avoid Oil-Based Products: Refrain from using oil-based eye makeup removers or skincare products around the eye area, as these can compromise the longevity of the LVL treatment.
• Brush Lashes: Use a clean spoolie to brush through your lifted lashes regularly. This helps maintain the desired lift and ensures even growth.
• 
  

Long-Term Care (Beyond the First Week):

• Avoid Waterproof Mascara: Refrain from using waterproof mascara, as its removal can be harsh on the lifted lashes. Opt for a non-waterproof, gentle mascara if desired.
• No Eyelash Curlers: Avoid using mechanical eyelash curlers, as the lashes are already lifted. Using curlers may cause damage and disrupt the shape achieved by the LVL treatment.
• Limit Sun Exposure: Protect your lifted lashes from excessive sun exposure. If sun exposure is unavoidable, use sunglasses or a hat to prevent fading.
• Professional Maintenance: Schedule regular appointments for LVL eyelash lift touch-ups as recommended by your technician. This helps maintain the lift and ensures consistent results.
• 
  

Additional Lash Lift Aftercare Tips:

• Watch for Allergic Reactions: If you experience redness, itching, or discomfort, contact your technician promptly. It could indicate an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the treatment products.
• Avoid DIY Removal: Do not attempt to reverse the LVL treatment at home. If you wish to return to your natural lash state, consult your technician for professional advice.
• 
  

Further Post-lift Cautions:

• No DIY Removal: Do not attempt to reverse the LVL treatment at home, as this can lead to damage to your lifted lashes.
• Avoid Harsh Treatments: Refrain from undergoing harsh facial treatments, chemical peels, or laser procedures around the eye area, as these can compromise the lifted effect.
