KERATIN LASH LIFT
PRE/POST CARE
Keratin Lash Infusion is not your average lash lift, but a conditioning treatment that infuses the keratin and leaves your lashes curled, lifted, healthy and shiny. It strengthens and rehydrates your natural lashes making them grow stronger and longer. The lift will last approximately 6-8 weeks. It will not change the color of the iris. You can have lashes tinted as well during this process. Your lashes will not be damaged by this treatment.
Please do not schedule if you have itchy, watery eyes, conjunctivitis or other eye irritations
Pre care: remove contact lenses
Post care: Do not get lashes wet for 24-48 hours
Do not use cleanser on lashes for 48 hours
Can use serums after 48 hours
Brush daily
Use oil free makeup remover

WAXING
PRE AND POST CARE
IT CAN TAKE 4-6 WEEKS FOR HAIR TO GROW TO SURFACE. SO PLEASE GROW THE HAIR OUT FOR AT LEAST 2 WEEKS. YES, IT ONLY NEEDS TO BE ABOUT 1/4-1/2 INCH LONG, BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT IT WILL APPEAR THAT THE HAIR HAS GROWN BACK QUICKER THAN EXPECTED, BUT IT REALLY WASN’T THERE TO BEGIN WITH. YOU WILL BE MUCH HAPPIER WITH YOUR WAX IF YOU WAIT, THEN SCHEDULE YOUR NEXT WAX APPOINTMENT IN 4-6 WEEKS.
WHO SHOULDN’T WAX (DEPENDS ON WHICH AREA)
· VARICOSE VEINS
· CHEMICAL EXFOLIATION
· RETIN A/ACCUTANE
· BLOOD THINNER
· ON CYCLE (COULD BE MORE PAINFUL BUT CAN BE DONE, PLEASE USE A TAMPON OR DIVA CUP ON THE DAY OF YOUR WAX)
· SKIN DISORDERS
· BOTOX, CORTISONE OR SKIN LIGHTENING CHEMICALS
· ROSACEA
· SUNBURN
· PUSTULES
· ALLERGY TO SOY (MY WAX PRODUCT IS SOY BASED)
PREPARING FOR WAX
· YOU SHOULD NOT SHOWER RIGHT BEFORE WAX BECAUSE SOAKING HAIR WILL SOFTEN IT AND IT WILL BREAK MORE EASILY (I DO PROVIDE WIPES IF NEEDED)
· EXFOLIATE 24 HOURS AHEAD OF TIME
POST WAX CARE/INSTRUCTIONS
· EXFOLIATE AFTER TO DECREASE INGROWNS -WAIT 24-48 HOURS AFTER OR UNTIL SKIN IS NOT RED
· AVOID BAR SOAP: LEAVES A FILM THAT CAN CAUSE INGROWNS
· DO NOT USE TANNING BOOTH OR SUN EXPOSURE DIRECTLY AFTER WAXING UP TO 48 HOURS (YOU WILL BURN)
· AVOID HARSH PRODUCTS/PERFUMES, DYES
· ANTISEPTIC OR SOOTHING LOTIONS ARE FINE (AZULENE OR ALOE, I ALSO SELL AN ANTISEPTIC CREAM CALLED FINIPIL)
·AVOID PRODUCTS WITH ALCOHOL WILL IRRITATE
·AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT (HOT TUB) FOR 24-48 HOURS AFTER WAX
· AVOID SUNSCREEN ON WAXED AREAS AS THIS MAY BE IRRITATING
· DO NOT SHAVE IN BETWEEN WAXES
CAUSES OF INGROWN (BRAZILIAN AREA)
1. DRY/DEHYDRATED SKIN: DRY SKIN CREATES A BARRIER MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR HAIR UNDERNEATH TO EXIT. AND WHEN SKIN IS DEHYDRATED AND TIGHT, IT HOLDS ONTO THE HAIR, PREVENTING THE WAX FROM EXTRACTING WITHOUT BREAKING IT OFF. ONCE HAIR IS BROKEN, IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY TO BECOME INGROWN
2. FRICTION: TIGHT CLOTHING (LEGGINGS, SKINNY JEANS), THE FRICTION FROM CLOTHES CAUSES THE HAIR TO BREAK AND TURN BACK INTO THE FOLLICLE. FRICTION ALSO CAUSES HEAT, WHICH LEADS TO DEHYDRATION, WHICH LEADS TO SKIN HOLDING ONTO HAIR INSTEAD OF LETTING IT GO CLEANLY DURING WAXING
TREATING INGROWNS
· EXFOLIATE!!: EXFOLIATE BEFORE WAX TO REMOVE DEAD SKIN CELLS SO HAIR CAN PROPERLY EXIT THE FOLLICLE. DEAD SKIN CELLS ARE A PROTECTIVE COATING, ALTHOUGH CAN CONTRIBUTE TO INGROWNS
· EXFOLIATE WITH EITHER A KERATOLYTIC OR ENZYME
KERATOLYTICS: KEEPS THE PORES CLEAN AND LOOSEN THE BOND OF THE DEAD SKIN CELLS FROM THE LIVE CELLS. EXAMPLES: BENZOYL PEROXIDE, SALICYLIC ACID OR GLYCOLIC ACID
ENZYMES (GENTLER): EAT AWAY AT THE BOND BETWEEN THE DEAD AND LIVE CELLS. LEAVES SKIN SOFT AND SUPPLE. EXAMPLES: PUMPKIN OR PAPAYA
· THE SOFTER AND SUPPLER THE SKIN, THE EASIER IT IS FOR THE HAIR TO “POP” OUT.
· ALSO NEED TO BE HYDRATED (NOT MOISTURIZED)
-MOISTURIZERS DON’T ADD MOISTURE, THEY SEAL THE CURRENT CONDITION OF SKIN.
HYDRATERS WILL PENETRATE THE SKIN AND HYDRATE FROM WITHIN. EX: SHEA BUTTER OR JOJOBA OIL
FOR MODERATE TO SEVERE (5 OR MORE INGROWNS): EXFOLIATE 2-5 TIMES A WEEK AND HYDRATION APPLIED 2X/DAY
**THOSE THAT SUFFER FROM INGROWNS WILL ALWAYS PROBABLY SUFFER FROM THEM TO SOME DEGREE, BUT CAN BE REDUCED
**I ALSO HAVE A INGROWN HAIR TREATMENT (THE PEACH TREATMENT). IT IS PERFORMED 10-14 DAYS AFTER WAX AND INCLUDES: CLEANSE, ENZYME, EXTRACTIONS FOLLOWED BY HIGH FREQUENCY AND A CHARCOAL MASK TO THE WAXED AREA FOR $50.00
WHAT NOT TO DO
· DO NOT USE TWEEZERS TO DIG/POKE OR PICK AT THE INGROWN, LET THE PRODUCTS DO THE WORK
· ONLY USE TWEEZERS ON HAIR THAT IS ALREADY HALF OUT
· TWEEZING MAY BREAK THE HAIR OFF WHICH WILL CAUSE INGROWNS
MICRODERMABRASION
PRE AND POST CARE
MICRODERMABRASION IS AN EXFOLIATING PROCEDURE THAT SLIGHTLY RESURFACES THE EPIDERMIS BY “SANDBLASTING” THE SKIN AND USES SUCTION TO EXFOLIATE THE TOP LAYER OF THE EPIDERMIS. THE SUCTION STIMULATION ALONE BOOSTS BLOOD CIRCULATION AND REVITALIZES COLLAGEN PRODUCTION, WHICH INSTIGATES THE REGROWTH OF NEW YOUNGER-LOOKING SKIN. RESULTS MAY INCLUDE IMPROVED SKIN TONE, REDUCED VISIBLE APPEARANCE OF AGING, FEWER BREAKOUTS, DIMINISHED APPEARANCE OF SCARS, REFINED SKIN PORES, RENEWED ELASTICITY AND A HEALTHLY GLOW. A SINGLE TREATMENT CAN REMOVE 20-30% OF THE EPIDERMIS.

MICROCURRENT
PRE AND POST CARE
MICROCURRENT PRE/POST CARE
*LOW LEVEL ELECTRICAL CURRENT THAT MIMICS THE BODYS OWN BIOLOGICAL CURRENT. IT CAN PHYSICALLY FIRM AND TONE THE SKIN THRU MUSCULAR REEDUCATION. IT CAN STIMULATE 32 OF THE 53 FACIAL MUSCLES AT TRADITIONAL ACUPUNCTURE POINTS WITH TINY AMOUNTS OF ELECTRICITY TO RE-ENERGIZE THEIR BIOLOGICAL CURRENTS AND RE-ESTABLISH MUSCLE MEMORY.
*KNOWN AS THE NON-SURGICAL OR LUNCHTIME FACE LIFT
* INCREASES FIBROBLAST PRODUCTION (BASE OF COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN) WHICH DECREASES THE WRINKLES AND INCREASE SKIN INTEGRITY
* IT SIMULTANEOUSLY TONES THE REBUILDS MUSCLES IN MASS AND FIRMNESS
* HELP RELEASE FASCIA, DRAIN EXCESS LYMPH
* INCREASES CIRCULATION, NUTRIENTS AND 02 FLOW.
** MICRONEEDLING, LASER ABLATION AND IPL PHOTOFACIAL USES CELLULAR DISRUPTION TO ACTIVATE THE NATURAL BODYS DEFENSE SYSTEM TO STIMULATE COLLAGEN PRODUCTION. PROLONGED USE CAN LEAD TO CHRONIC INFLAMMATION. THESE TREATMENTS DO NOT REGENERATE CELL FUNCTION BUT USE THE BODYS EMERGENCY RESERVOIRS WHICH LEADS TO THE ROOT OF PREMATURE AND LONGTERM AGING OF THE SKIN
*MICROCURRENT OFFERS SUSTAINABLE RESULTS WITHOUT DAMAGING OR INVADING THE DERMAL LAYER AND RESULTS IN FACIAL CONTOURING
*ACNE: RELIEVE THE BODY OF TOXINS WITHOUT THE RISK OF SCARRING. INCREASED BLOOD FLOW MEANS INCREASED 02 AND IMPROVED LYMPH MOVEMENT
*DARKER FITZ TYPES: REDUCES THE RISK OF KELOID FORMATION AND PIGMENTATION ISSUES
