LASH EXTENSIONS

ABOUT OUR ADHESIVE

You want to make sure you’re not introducing something toxic, allergenic, or potentially injuring to the surface of the eye. Did you know that the adhesive in almost all eyelash extension kits contain toxic chemicals like formaldehyde? Most of the adhesives commonly used are untested, industrial-grade products designed for auto manufacturing.

Our NovaLash adhesive is the only eyelash extension product that is U.S. Pharmaceutical (USP) Grade tested and physician formulated for safety. NovaLash’s team of physicians and bio-chemists have formulated Platinum Bond, the first Formaldehyde-Free lash extension adhesive. Novalash adhesive is also waterproof and oil-proof. We encouraging the client to keep their lashes clean and moisturized for greater lash health.

CAN LASH EXTENSIONS HARM NATURAL LASHES?

When applied properly, lash extensions will not harm natural lashes. The NovaLash application technique allows natural lashes to grow and thrive with extensions. This technique requires several different “separation” steps during the application process so each extension is adhered to a single natural lash in order to prevent interruption of the lash growth cycle.

CAN MASCARA BE USED WITH LASH EXTENSIONS?

Mascara is typically not needed with lash extensions. Mascara should only be used when a touch-up is drawing near. Water-soluble mascara can be worn; however constant use of mascara may shorten the lifespan of lashes. Waterproof mascara is not recommended for use, as it will dissolve the bond with the lashes. NovaLash glycol and carbonate free mascara is specifically formulated for use on extensions without interfering with the adhesive. Clients may order their NovaLash’s glycol and carbonate free mascara during their appointment.

ONCE APPLIED, WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO CARE FOR LASHES?

Nightly conditioning is necessary to maximize the life of the extensions. I advise clients to clean lashes free of any makeup or debris with with your usual cleansing routine. Using a lash wand to comb the lashes free of tangles is also recommended.
