Please arrive to your appointment with clean lashes and No Mascara. If you arrive to your appointment with dirty lashes, your Eyelash extensions will not adhere to your natural lashes which will cause retention issues.
Although we do a Quick cleanse before every new set & infill - We do NOT do deep cleanses enough to remove your mascara.

Please also ensure you are arriving to your appointment on time. Our Salons are very busy so we can only allow a grace period of no longer than 10 minutes. If you are more than 10mins late, we will have to cancel your appointment and you will have to reschedule.

• Ice the treated area for at least 10 minutes every hour. Please don't use ice directly on skin, use a clean towel covering the ice pack. Apply a fine layer of Vaseline ointment (or topical advised by your doctor) to treated areas several times a day if needed to maintain continuous layer on skin for the first 2 days.
• Do not get the treatment area wet for 48 hours and do not apply any cosmetic or cosmeceuticals products on the area except Panthenol when needed.
• Avoid cold compressing or ice packing the area post-treatment! This is very important as it will stop the process of the procedure.
• A mild sunburn-like sensation is anticipated. This usually resolves within 2-3 hours of treatment but may persist for up to 2 days.
• Completely avoid sun exposure to treated areas for the first 48 hours. Apply a zinc-based sunblock daily to sun-exposed treated areas between treatments. After 48 hours soft skincare including Vit B may be introduced.
• Once crusting has naturally fallen off, Vit A & C may be reintroduced.
• After 48 hours, bath or shower as usual. Treated areas may be temperature sensitive. Avoid the use of strongly scented lotions or soaps, prescription-strength exfoliate creams, loofah sponges, and aggressive scrubbing to treated areas during the healing phase.
• Allow any blistered or open areas to heal spontaneously. If healing is delayed, a thin coating of antibiotic ointment may be advised. Do not pick at these areas. Picking may result in infection or scarring. Allow any crusting to heal spontaneously, crusting will resolve in 4 to 14 days. Application of antibiotic ointment is not recommended for crusting unless infected.

Until redness and discomfort have completely resolved, avoid all of the following:

• Applying cosmetics on treated areas (mineral makeup permitted after 48 hours)
• Swimming, Hot tubs and Jacuzzis
• Activities that cause excessive perspiration
• Avoid sun exposure to treated areas
• Do not pick, scratch or remove scabs as this will cause unwanted side effects
• Increased photosensitivity to UV can occur when taking certain medications. During your treatment programme, if you have commenced or changed dosage with the following medications, you must advise your clinician:

1. Antibiotics – doxycycline (acne), minocycline, Tetracyclines, Sulphonamides
2. Antihistamines – Diphenhydramine, Cyproheptadine
3. Antidepressants
4. Herbal preparations – St Johns wort, Gingko Biloba, citrus oils, Herbal HRT therapies

Taking these medications does not exclude you from plasma treatments; however, extra precautions are applicable in these cases.

Healing Process for Plasma treatments

Day 1: Immediately and shortly after treatment, there may be some swelling and fluid retention, especially around the eyes. Swelling is not a bad thing and is a natural part of the healing process, so don’t try to “treat” it with anything other than fanning yourself. The eye area is the most prone to swelling, so do expect it and allow yourself a full 24-48 hours to let this subside. Re-apply Panthenol as needed for the first 2-4 days.

Day 1 – 4: Especially in the eye area, swelling peaks upon waking, first thing in the morning. Over the course of the first 1-3 days, it is normal for the swelling to migrate down into the under-eye area. This will subside generally through day 3 and be mostly normal by day 4.

• The area will feel hot, like a sunburn for about the first 24 hours. This is normal. The sensation should subside 24 – 48 hours.
• Treatment zones will feel tight both immediately post-procedure and for the first 2 to 4 days.
• You will likely experience the area feeling slightly itchy from days 2-5. This is a normal part of the healing process. DO NOT ITCH OR SCRATCH THE DOTS. DO NOTHING TO ABRADE THEM IN ANY WAY. You can use Mediquattro (purchase from Chemist) to ease the itch if necessary.
• No more pain or discomfort should be felt by Day 4.

Day 5: Beginning around day 5 the dots will begin to shed naturally, on their own, and this will continue possibly up to about day 10. LET THIS HAPPEN NATURALLY, DO NOTHING TO ABRADE THEM IN ANY WAY. Use of Powder mineral makeup is permitted and encouraged from Day 5.

Day 10: By day 10 your carbon dots should be gone, and you can resume your body care, physical activity and makeup use as normal.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE TREATED AREA PROTECTED FROM SUN EXPOSURE.
So that means avoiding direct exposure, covering the area or sunblock for at least 8 weeks.

Week 2 – 4: Treated areas slightly pink and could be slightly tender to the touch.

Weeks 5 – 8: Continual improvement both in sensation, texture, look and feel. By week 8 the treated area will have completely blended with the untreated areas.

Month 3-6: Reschedule appointment for next treatment

After going through a consultation and signing the consent form, we will take some photographs for before and after records. Then, the treatment area will be disinfected with alcohol swaps and we can assist you to apply the topical anesthetic cream for up to 30 minutes. (You must bring your own numbing cream) Then we start working on the area with the plasma fibroblast device. During the procedure, you are likely to feel heat and discomfort in the treatment area, but treatment will only last between 10 – 30minutes depending on the size of the area being targeted.

Even though the down time is not comparable to the cosmetic surgery, but there is sAs opposed to surgery, some people can return to work the same day, as there is very little downtime, although you will have swelling and possible bruising. Depends on the area of the treatment and different skin type, you may experience a bit of swelling or excessive one which only last up to 5 days. You can sleep a bit elevated at night to avoid excess swelling in the morning.

Plasma skin tightening is more than a simple tightening treatment. Excess Skin is actually shrunk, and the wrinkles reduced, so the results should last very well comparing to botox or fillers. 

The effects of this treatment are not totally permanent as it does not stop any further aging, BUT the positive results should last you 1-3 years depending on the area treated. The positive effects of treatment will be noticeable immediately, but the best results will be seen after 4 weeks. For some clients an additional treatment may be required after 8 weeks for maximum results. There are lifestyle factors that can prevent the results from lasting as long as they can, such as smoking, alcohol consumption and prolonged sun exposure. 

Those planning on treatment should also be aware that race and genetics affect the length of the beneficial effects. The aging process will continue and — as with any cosmetic procedure — your improved appearance due to an eye lift will not last indefinitely. And at some point, in the future, you might want to consider repeating the procedure.

The number of treatments needed may vary on the condition of the area being treated, age of the client, Fitzpatrick skin type, skins laxity, the desired degree of correction and the client’s response to the treatment. Most clients see results instantly and this continues to improve over the new 2-4 weeks. More treatments may be required to get better results although it is uncommon to need more than two treatments. Appointments must be spaced out 8-12 weeks apart.

No, we can’t perform the treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding as you can’t use numbing cream during this time.

Fibroblast Treatment is not advised for those with very dark skin. This is because there is a higher risk of hyperpigmentation (dark spots) or hypopigmentation (light spots) following treatment.
