Who can benefit?
- Men and women of any skin type or colour who want to enhance their eyelashes.
How is it used?
- Eyelash Enhancement Therapy is applied to the edge of the upper eyelid, at the base of the eyelashes, once daily.
- It is not applied to the lower eyelashes because this may stimulate increased growth of hair on the cheeks.
- Eyelash Enhancement Therapy must not be applied into the eye itself as this may lower the pressure in the eye and produce serious consequences.
Why Eyelash Enhancement Therapy?
- Eyelash Enhancement Therapy is not mascara or false eyelashes.
- It makes your own eyelashes grow thicker and longer
How does it work?
The exact mechanism of action is unknown, but Eyelash Enhancement Therapy increases the length of the growth cycle of the eyelashes making them grow longer, thicker and darker.
What are the Benefits of Eyelash Enhancement Therapy?
- Use of Eyelash Enhancement Therapy results in eyelashes that are:
-
- Longer
- Fuller
- Thicker
- Darker
- These are your own eyelashes that are growing.
How long is the treatment?
- Eyelash Enhancement Therapy is used once daily.
- At 4 weeks you may notice some thickening of the eyelashes, but generally a minimum of 8 weeks of treatment is required to start to see lengthening and thickening of the lashes.
- The maximum effect is reached after 4 months of use.
What happens if you stop using Eyelash Enhancement Therapy?
- Your eyelashes will return to the same length and thickness that they were prior to starting Eyelash Enhancement Therapy treatments.
- To maintain the benefits of Eyelash Enhancement Therapy you must continue to use the product.
- The improvement from Eyelash Enhancement Therapy is not permanent.
What are the side effects?
- Sometimes Eyelash Enhancement Therapy may produce irritation to the eyes or eyelids, which would appear as redness, itching, or a burning-stinging sensation.
- This usually resolves even if you continue using Eyelash Enhancement Therapy.
- In rare circumstances, Eyelash Enhancement Therapy may produce permanent darkening of the iris (coloured part of the eye), or edges of the eyelids.
- Eyelash Enhancement Therapy should not be applied to the lower eyelid as this increases the risk of increased hair growth on the face.
- In rare cases, when Eyelash Enhancement Therapy is applied to the eyelids, it may lower pressure in the eyes
