Lashes & Brows: Treatment Advice & Aftercare

Eyebrow Waxing • Tinting • Hybrid Stain • Lash Lift • Korean Lash Lift • Brow Lamination

Our lash and brow treatments are designed to enhance your natural brows and lashes through shaping, colouring, lifting and styling.

Although these treatments generally require little or no downtime, following the correct preparation and aftercare can help reduce irritation and support the best possible result.

Before Your Treatment

Before your appointment:

• Tell us about any allergies, sensitivities or previous reactions to lash

• or brow products, hair dye, tint, adhesives or cosmetics.

• Let us know if you've experienced a reaction following a previous lash lift, brow lamination, tint or hybrid stain.

• Tell us if you're using prescription or medicated skincare around the treatment area.

• Avoid strong exfoliating acids, retinoids or irritating skincare around the brows before waxing.

• Avoid waxing over sunburnt, broken, irritated or recently resurfaced skin.

• Tell us if you've recently had a chemical peel, laser, microneedling or another advanced treatment around the eyes or brows.

• Let us know if you've recently had semi-permanent makeup in the treatment area.

• Tell us if your skin or health has changed since your consultation or patch test.

Patch Testing

Some lash and brow treatments require a patch test before your appointment, particularly when tinting, lifting, laminating or staining products are being used.

Your practitioner will advise whether a patch test is required and how far in advance it needs to be completed.

A successful patch test reduces the likelihood of a reaction but cannot guarantee that an allergic reaction will never occur.

If you've previously reacted to a tint, dye, lash lift, brow lamination or similar product, please tell us even if a subsequent patch test appears normal.

When Might We Need to Postpone Treatment?

Please let us know if you have:

• an active eye infection such as conjunctivitis

• significant eye irritation or inflammation

• an active skin infection around the brows or eyes

• broken, damaged or significantly irritated skin in the treatment area

• significant eczema, dermatitis or psoriasis affecting the area

• a recent allergic reaction around the eyes or brows

• recent surgery or a procedure affecting the treatment area

• an unexplained rash, swelling or irritation.

Depending on the treatment and your circumstances, we may recommend adapting or postponing your appointmentuntil the area has recovered.

Eyebrow Waxing

Eyebrow waxing removes unwanted hair and helps create a cleaner, more defined brow shape.

Before Eyebrow Waxing

Please tell your practitioner if you use:

• retinol or retinoid skincare

• prescription tretinoin

• strong exfoliating acids

• prescription acne treatments

• products or medication that have made your skin particularly sensitive or fragile.

These can make the skin more vulnerable to irritation or lifting during waxing.

If the skin barrier appears compromised, we may recommend tweezing rather than waxing.

After Eyebrow Waxing

Temporary redness and sensitivity are common and usually settle quickly.

For approximately 24 hours:

• avoid rubbing or scratching the area

• avoid strong acids, retinoids and exfoliating skincare

• avoid perfumed or irritating products directly over freshly waxed skin

• avoid excessive heat, sauna and steam if the area remains red

• avoid applying heavy makeup directly over irritated skin.

Use gentle skincare and protect the area from excessive sun exposure.

Eyebrow & Lash Tinting

Tinting temporarily darkens the brow or lash hairs to create greater definition.

The colour may appear slightly stronger immediately after treatment and gradually soften.

After Tinting

For the best colour retention:

• avoid rubbing the area unnecessarily

• use gentle cleansing products around the brows and lashes

• be aware that strong exfoliating skincare, oils and frequent exposure to chlorine may contribute to faster fading

• avoid applying irritating skincare directly around the eyes.

If you experience significant itching, burning, swelling or a rash after leaving the clinic, rinse the area carefully where appropriate and contact us for advice.

Hybrid Brow Stain

Hybrid brow stain is designed to colour both the brow hairs and temporarily stain the skin beneath them, creating a more defined or filled-in appearance.

Because some of the result comes from colour deposited on the skin, the skin stain will generally fade sooner than the colour on the brow hairs.

Before Your Hybrid Stain

Avoid:

• strong exfoliation immediately beforehand

• retinoids and strong acids around the brows

• applying self-tan directly around the brows

• arriving with irritated, peeling or sunburnt skin.

After Your Hybrid Stain

For the first 24 hours, avoid:

• excessive rubbing or cleansing of the brows

• exfoliating products

• retinoids or strong acids around the brows

• sauna, steam and excessive sweating where possible

• oils or oil-heavy products directly over the brows.

Once normal skincare is resumed, acids, retinoids and exfoliation around the brow area can cause the skin stain to fade more quickly.

Brow Lamination

Brow lamination uses professional chemical solutions to soften and reposition the brow hairs, allowing them to be styled into a fuller, smoother or more lifted shape.

Because the treatment temporarily alters the structure of the hair, appropriate aftercare helps keep the brows in good condition.

Before Brow Lamination

Tell us if:

• your brow hairs are particularly dry, brittle or damaged

• you've recently bleached or chemically treated your brows

• you've previously reacted to a brow lamination or lash-lifting product

• the skin around your brows is irritated, broken or inflamed.

Brow Lamination Aftercare

For the first 24–48 hours, follow the specific instructions given by your practitioner.

In particular:

• avoid excessive water and steam during the initial setting period

• avoid saunas and steam rooms

• avoid rubbing or sleeping with significant pressure directly on the brows

• avoid strong skincare products directly over the brows

• gently brush the brows into position rather than repeatedly manipulating them.

After the initial setting period, brow hairs shouldn't be kept permanently dry. Normal gentle cleansing can resume and conditioning the hairs can help keep them soft and manageable.

Your practitioner may recommend a suitable brow conditioning product.

Lash Lift

A lash lift uses professional solutions to reshape and lift your natural eyelashes, creating the appearance of longer, more curled lashes without extensions.

Before Your Lash Lift

Please:

• arrive without mascara or heavy eye makeup where possible

• remove contact lenses before treatment if requested

• tell us about previous reactions to lash-lifting or tinting products

• tell us about recent eye surgery, infection or significant irritation

• let us know if your lashes are particularly weak, brittle or damaged.

Treatment should be postponed if you have an active eye infection or significant inflammation.

Lash Lift Aftercare

During the initial setting period recommended for the system used:

• avoid excessive water and steam

• avoid saunas and steam rooms

• avoid rubbing your eyes

• avoid mascara and heavy eye makeup

• avoid sleeping with your lashes pressed heavily against your pillow.

Afterwards, normal gentle cleansing and eye makeup can gradually resume.

Avoid repeatedly pulling or rubbing the lashes, and consider using an appropriate conditioning product if recommended.

Korean Lash Lift

A Korean Lash Lift follows the same general principle of reshaping the natural lashes but uses a different technique and product system to a traditional lash lift.

Depending on the system used, the processing, styling and aftercare requirements may differ slightly.

For this reason, follow the specific aftercare instructions given by your practitioner rather than assuming all lash lifts require exactly the same care.

As a general guide:

• avoid rubbing or pulling the lashes

• treat the lashes gently

• avoid excessive heat or steam during the initial setting period advised by your practitioner

• use gentle eye cleansing

• condition the lashes if recommended.

I would keep that section deliberately flexible. There are now several treatments being marketed as a “Korean Lash Lift”, and I wouldn't put a universal 24- or 48-hour no-water rule on your website unless that is specifically required by the Korean system you use.

How Long Will My Results Last?

Results vary according to the treatment, natural hair-growth cycle, skincare routine and lifestyle.

Waxing results depend on your individual hair-growth cycle.

Tints and hybrid stains gradually fade, with the stain on the skin generally fading sooner than colour within the hair.

Lash lifts and brow laminations gradually grow out as your natural lashes and brow hairs complete their normal growth cycle.

Your practitioner can advise when it is appropriate to repeat your particular treatment.

When Should I Contact Eco Skin Clinic?

Mild temporary redness or sensitivity can occur following some lash and brow treatments.

Please contact us if you experience:

• significant or increasing redness

• persistent burning or stinging

• marked swelling

• blistering

• a rash or significant itching

• eye irritation that isn't settling

• discharge or symptoms suggesting an infection

• any unexpected reaction that concerns you.

For significant eye pain, visual changes or severe swelling around the eye, seek appropriate medical attention.
