In the past 10 years, both 40kHz Ultrasound Cavitation and 5MHz Radio Frequency have been proved to be very effective in fat reducing and slimming. Combining both treatments make the results even better and longer lasting!

The Ultrasound Cavitation Probe breaks down fat cells so that the fat deposit is destroyed. The Vacuum Head is used to reshape the body contour and smooth cellulite’s uneven “orange peel” surface. The Body Radio Frequency (multipolar) Probe promotes fat metabolism and dissolves fat and also promotes collagen to tighten skin.

The theory basis of these operational steps is that the ultrasound cavitation effect will be more effective on intact fat cells so it should use for the first step. Then the fat tissue become a mass, including completely destroyed and semi-destroyed fat cells and the still-standing ones and the free fatty acid and glycerides.

The following questions cover the most important points regarding eyelash extensions, but if you have additional questions, contact me!

If the procedure stopped here, the density of the fat deposit becomes unequal. Without further care, skin tends to form an “orange peel” layer, so the second step — vacuum reshaping — is very necessary.

Vacuum reshaping is like shaking a basket full of potatoes with different sizes. The shaking will conduct the smaller ones go down to the bottom and the bigger ones remain on the top. The basket also reserves more column because those potatoes are regulated much more neatly.

The Vacuum Reshaping movement is almost the same. It regulates fat cells with different sizes to a neater and tidier “array” and compact the column. By then, the inch(column) is visibly reduced some already. The third(final) step by the Body RF is to dissolve the remaining fat, which will contribute to a smaller volume and less fat deposit.

A new fashion trend is growing in the U.S. semi-permanent eyelash extensions. Wearers can have long, beautiful, yet natural looking eyelashes 24 hours a day, seven days a week without the hassles of mascara. Lash Extensions are single strands of synthetic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a natural eyelash. They provide length and thickens to a persons natural eyelashes. They are applied to each individual natural eyelash one by one for a natural, beautiful and luscious look. Eyelash Extensions are perfect for special occasions or for the day to day wear.

With proper application, meaning one synthetic eyelash applied to one natural lash the look and feel is completely natural looking and real. No one will know you have extensions. They will think you were born with beautiful. long lashes!

Eyelash extensions are considered “semi-permanent,” as they can remain in place for the natural cycle of the eyelash itself. A person’s natural eyelash typically falls out every 60 to 90 days and is naturally replaced with the growth of a new eyelash. Because of this natural cycle, it is usually necessary to get touch-ups to fill in every two to four weeks. If you wait too long your eyelash extensions will fall out and you will require a full set. Everyone’s experience will differ based on day to day activities. Other factors such as exposure to steam or touching your eyes a lot may cause the extensions to fall sooner. A special waterproof bonding agent is used. Glue does not contain any fumes or irritants and is long lasting.

There is no need to apply mascara to your extensions.

Yes. The bonding agent we use is waterproof and allows you to shower, swim, exercise etc. Special care is required but overall maintenance is low. We do recommend however that you DO NOT use heavy water, such as in the shower on your lashes for about 12- 24 hours after the eyelash application. A light mist is fine.

I do not recommend using mechanical eyelash curlers on your eyelash extensions as these curlers will damage the extensions and possibly your own natural lashes.

• Do not get lashes wet for 24 hours.
• Avoid hot steam or sauna
• Avoid running water directly on your lashes
• Do not rub your eyes
• Use water based eye makeup remover
• Do not perm your lashes
• Do not use a mechanical eyelash curler
• Do not pull on your lashes (this may cause your natural lashes to come out prematurely)

Currently the FDA is not regulating eyelash extensions because the eyelash extensions are applied to the natural eyelash hairs and do not touch the skin. The application process is pain-free and relaxing that most clients fall asleep during the procedure. However, improper application by an unqualified eyelash technician can cause damage to your natural lashes. I recommend only using a Certified Eyelash Extension Specialist.

The application of a full set of eyelash extensions typically takes between two and three hours, depending on how many extensions are desired. Touch ups average about 90 minutes. The application procedure is painless. You will lay comfortably on a massage or facial table with your eyes closed. The Eyelash professional will then apply an under eye gel pad to cover your lower lashes . Then the extensions will be applied to each individual eyelash on a hair by hair basis. Most clients go to sleep during the procedure.

Eyelash extensions are available in a number of lengths and thickness. I normally consult with you first to see what type of style you are interested in. We also determine what your lashes can hold in regards to size. Each person’s lashes will vary in strength and length. I take this into consideration when creating a look for you. The overall look of the lashes is very natural.

PBT | silk blend fibers, which are the same fibers tooth brush hairs are made from. They are a synthetic fiber. They are heated and treated with formulations that give appearance and feel of mink or silks, faux mink or Siberian mink. They are lightweight and flexible.

A very strong adhesive made with cyanoacrylate. It never touches the skin.

Yes, there is no latex in the adhesive. I, also, do a patch test to determine any allergic reaction before starting the extensions.

They will last until your natural lash sheds. Around 3-5 weeks. You have approximately 150 follicles in your upper lash line and approximately 70 in your lower lash line. They grow and shed at different rates. There is the anagen phase, which we refer to as baby hairs. Then there is the catagen phase, which we call the teenagers and the telogen phase, or the adult hairs. The baby hairs are too weak so we try to use the teenage hairs and the adults. On a daily basis you will be shedding lashes. This is normal and your lashes are healthy.

Maintenance depends on the strength of the adhesive used and how you care for them at home. I recommend you get a fill every 2 to 3 weeks to keep them looking full and beautiful.

They will not damage your eyelashes if they are applied correctly. Choosing the proper curl and diameter and using the right amount of adhesive prevents damage. You cannot remove your lash extensions yourself or pull them out as that will damage your natural lashes. Cleansing daily is very important.

I recommend sleeping on your back.

Classic lashes are a one-to-one. Meaning one lash extension applied to one mature natural lash applied to every lash. Volume extensions are handmade fans of 2 or more very lightweight extensions. Volume gives a more fluffy full appearance, hence the name Volume!

No, trimming your lashes runs the risk of trimming your natural lashes. Plus extensions are tapered at the end so they already come to a point.

During the first 48 hours after application, the extensions are vulnerable to sweat, moisture, oil-based cosmetics, rubbing and cleansing products. The bonding agent requires 48 hours to thoroughly dry and create a strong bond. To maximize the life of your lashes please avoid direct contact with water and steam.

After 48 hours you are able to gently wash your lashes with an oil free cleanser. Brush lashes daily, from middle to the tips. Avoid applying oil-based or waterproof cosmetics and creams on or around the eyes.

A Lash Lift is a great alternative to lash extensions, even if you’re not an extension candidate!  Lifting your eyelashes will make your natural eyelashes look longer and lifted (curlier) effortlessly.  Unlike lash perms, this fast processing, formaldehyde-free and nourishing formulation takes only 30 – 40 minutes to complete and delivers a beautiful lash lift that is retained, even after showering and swimming, for 6 to 8 weeks!  Minimal maintenance is required and this service is ideal for those with short, long, straight, or curly natural eyelashes to make them appear longer and more lifted without the need for eyelash extensions, or the daily use of eyelash curlers!

Add on tinting to your Lash Lift to give the look of darker, fuller eyelashes for the complete eye opening, eye popping look!

Maintaining lash Lift and/or Tint will require regular appointments as your natural lashes are constantly shedding and replacing themselves.  By following the aftercare below, and keeping regular appointments, you will be able to get the most wear out of your Lash Lift and/or Tint!
