The treatment aims to nourish the lashes, saturate them with color, curl, and thicken them - in a word, everything that mascara manufacturers promise in one solution. A professionally performed keratin lamination strengthens the hair structure, rebuilding it from the inside and protecting it from external factors.
During the treatment, the lashes are gently shaped on special silicone rollers and then saturated with active ingredients, including keratin and lash botox. The result is combed, pigmented, lifted, and nourished lashes - naturally beautiful without the need for attaching false ones.
The first 24 hours are absolutely crucial for setting the lamination effect. During this time, the active substances penetrate the structure of the hairs and permanently modify it, so any interruption in this process can weaken the result. Wait 24 hours before applying any makeup, including mascara – this is the minimum waiting time necessary for the effect to fully set.
Strictly follow these guidelines for the first 24 hours:
- Avoid getting your lashes wet – refrain from facial showers, swimming pools, saunas, and intense workouts
- Do not touch or rub your eyes to prevent disturbing the structure of the formed lashes
- Do not apply any makeup, including mascara – the waiting time is a minimum of 24 hours
- Avoid steam and high humidity, which can interfere with the setting process
Adhering to these post-treatment care rules ensures that the effect will be long-lasting and spectacular. After 24 hours, the lashes are fully set, and you can resume your normal cosmetic routine.
After 24 hours, you can return to applying mascara, but choosing the right one is crucial to maintaining the effect. The question "can you apply mascara after a lash lift" has a simple answer – yes, but only with appropriately selected products. A water-based mascara with a light formula is the best choice – it doesn't weigh down the lashes and can be easily removed with gentle cleansers.
Avoid waterproof mascaras – they are an absolute no-go after a lash lift. Removing them requires strong solutions and intense rubbing, which damages the keratin and shortens the longevity of the effect. Products containing oils are also not recommended as they dissolve the substances used during the procedure, weakening the curl and pigmentation. Choose mascaras designed for sensitive skin or labeled as hypoallergenic.
The method of makeup removal is just as important as the choice of cosmetics. Gentle makeup removal is key to extending the effect of lash lamination—aggressive rubbing mechanically damages the structure of the lashes and accelerates the loss of curl.
Use only oil-free solutions, such as micellar water designed for eyes. Soak a cotton pad with the solution, place it on closed eyelids for a few seconds, and then gently wipe the mascara from the roots to the tips. Do not rub your eyes sideways or in circles—this is the quickest way to damage the lashes.
Avoid two-phase products and oils that can disrupt the keratin. After removing makeup, you can gently cleanse your lashes with lukewarm water, but do not press on them or stretch the eyelids.
Daily eyelash care extends the lamination effect and strengthens the lashes. Do not use an eyelash curler after the treatment – the lashes are already perfectly curled, and the mechanical action of this tool may damage them and ruin the shaped form. It is worth knowing that daily application and removal of mascara, even with gentle products, may slightly shorten the longevity of the effect compared to completely giving up makeup.
- Use an oil-free eyelash serum that additionally strengthens and nourishes the lashes.
- Brush your lashes with a special brush in the morning and evening to maintain their shape.
- Avoid sleeping with your face on the pillow, which mechanically flattens the lashes.
- Regularly moisturize the eye area with a cream free of greasy substances.
A lash lift can be safely repeated every 6-8 weeks, which coincides with the natural life cycle of eyelashes. During this time, most hairs are replaced with new ones, and the effect gradually diminishes as the lifted lashes fall out.
Performing the procedure too frequently leads to weakening and damage of the hairs – as with any chemical treatment, excess can be harmful. A professional will assess the condition of your lashes and determine the optimal time between treatments, tailoring it to individual needs.
A properly performed lash lift using high-quality keratin and lash botox does not damage, but rather strengthens the hairs. The risk of damage arises only with unprofessional execution, the use of cheap products, or overly frequent treatments.
Lash lifting provides an immediate effect of spectacular curling, intense pigmentation, and optical thickening. The lashes look as if they're wearing mascara and have been curled, but they are your natural hairs—combed, nourished, and lifted without any extensions.
The effect lasts for 6 to 8 weeks, although it gradually decreases as natural lash replacement occurs. Some people observe about 60-70% retention of the effect after 5 weeks, which depends on the individual hair growth cycle and adherence to post-treatment care guidelines.
- Wait at least 24 hours before any contact of the lashes with water and cosmetics.
- Use only water-based mascaras, avoiding waterproof formulas.
- Remove makeup with oil-free solutions, using gentle motions without rubbing.
- Do not use a lash curler—your lashes are already curled, and the tool may damage them.
- Repeat the treatment every 6-8 weeks, adjusting the frequency according to the condition of the lashes.
Lash lamination is an ideal solution for those who value a natural look, saving time on daily makeup, and maintaining confidence throughout the day. Proper post-treatment care extends the effect and protects the health of the lashes, allowing you to enjoy a beautiful gaze for many weeks.

Lash lifting involves gently lifting and shaping the natural lash curve at the base, using specialized products that:

Ideal shape, natural volume, and lasting control

During the treatment:
- the hairs are gently softened and shaped to allow for their lasting arrangement,
- then saturated with nourishing ingredients - mainly keratin and nurturing oils,

Adding henna allows for thickening, shading, and intensifying the color effect, which is particularly beneficial for light, sparse, or unevenly growing eyebrows.
