Every girl dreams of beautiful, thick and long eyelashes. Modern technologies in the field of cosmetology will be able to help make the dream a reality. What is the effect of lamination and botox for eyelashes, which procedure is better and what is the difference between them? You will find the answer in this article.
Specifics
Both procedures are a covering of the eyelashes with a special protective and nutritious composition, due to which the eyelashes become divided, thickened, thick and long. In contrast to the extension and curling, they have a more gentle effect on their own eyelashes. Moreover, the procedure provides for the possibility of staining. Now you can not use mascara every day. Let us examine the features of each procedure separately, taking into account the pros and cons for your own eyelashes.
Lamination
Starting its climbing from the hair, the lamination procedure firmly gained a leading position in cosmetology. The complex for the eyelashes includes keratin protein, known for its ability to strengthen and improve the appearance of hair, nails and skin. This procedure helps to visually make the eyelashes thicker and longer, to give a flirty curl without loss of naturalness. It is ideal for owners of straight lashes from nature. The covering compound seals the cilium, retaining all the useful elements inside the capsule.
This procedure is performed in the salon by a professional cosmetologist who has been trained and has a certificate. Especially popular with girls, she enjoys the summer, when you do not want to spend a lot of time on everyday makeup.
Composition
In addition to keratin, the laminating composition contains wheat extract, vegetable oils. Components feed eyelashes, reliably protect them from the negative effects of external factors.
Among the popular compositions for lamination worth noting Yumi Lashes. Today, perhaps, this brand is the most popular among cosmetologists. Eyelashes after the procedure become thicker and longer.
Paul Mitchell - also quite popular composition. Among its components can be noted hops, chamomile, extracts of other medicinal herbs. It attracts with its most natural basis.
Composition Nover lash up Perfect for modeling eyelashes.
Features of the procedure
Lamination is a completely painless procedure. By the time it takes about one and a half to two hours.
A special patch is applied to the lower eyelid area, protecting the delicate skin from the effects and staining. On the upper eyelid specialist imposes a silicone roller, on which he places your own eyelashes. With gentle movements the master combs, separates them, evenly spreading over the surface of the roller. You should not choose a sharp bend - cilia will look unnatural. After applying the composition for lamination in several stages (usually 5).
The lamination procedure can be simultaneously combined with dyeing - in this case, the need to paint eyelashes with mascara for make-up for each day completely disappears.
Immediately after the procedure, the eyelashes will look slightly stuck together. During the day you can not wash, use eye cream, rub your eyes, try to separate them. The next day after the procedure they fluff up, the look will become expressive and open.
The effect after the procedure lasts up to three months. Correction is not required - the material goes off on its own, almost imperceptibly. Masters recommend lamination no more than twice a year, but in practice this procedure is carried out more often.
Contraindications
In some cases, lamination of eyelashes can lead to health problems or have unwanted effects. Contraindications for the procedure include:
- recent operations on the eyes and in the area of the eyes - you must wait until full recovery;
- pregnancy and lactation period - it is not known what damage the product for lamination can have to the unborn child. The effect during hormonal adjustment of a woman’s body can also be unpredictable;
- inflammatory diseases of the eye (barley, conjunctivitis, etc.);
- short eyelashes - they will take the form of unaesthetic curls;
- eyelash extension immediately after lamination - the composition simply will not hold;
- individual intolerance to the components of the drug.
Advantages and disadvantages
The procedure does not imply the abandonment of the active lifestyle of the owner of laminated eyelashes, on the contrary, you can visit the pool, bask in the sauna, swim in the salty sea water. The use of creams and other care products in the eye area is not contraindicated. The only thing you should not rub your eyes too intensively is sponge, removing makeup.
Lamination does not exclude the use of mascara.
The exposed eyelashes become brighter, acquire a beautiful curl, thicken. Among the drawbacks can be noted the deterioration of their own hairs after frequent lamination. This is due to the fact that the keratin composition forms a film sealing them on the surface of the cilia; there is no external power supply.
If you want to restore eyelashes and feel the long-lasting effect of beautiful long eyelashes, you should resort to Botox.
Botox
This procedure allows you to strengthen the eyelashes, saturate them with useful elements, make it more elastic and long. Botox allows you to work on the cuticle and hair follicle, so the eyelashes grow healthy, they are all-stage recovery.
Both procedures are similar to each other - Botox is also absolutely painless, as is lamination. For many girls, Botox is associated with cosmetic beauty shots of the same name, but the procedure involves only applying the serum of the same name (only botulinum toxin derivative is used).
Composition
In addition to botulinum toxin, serum is a truly rich in useful substances composition:
- hyaluronic acid - nourishes, moisturizes;
- Argan oil - adds shine and silkiness, contributes to the velvet look;
- keratin - a protein involved in the construction of cells, filling voids;
- panthenol - has a softening effect;
- Collagen - gives elasticity.
Carrying out the procedure
Botox for eyelashes is done by a beautician or certified master who has undergone appropriate training in a beauty salon.
At the beginning of the eyelashes give the desired bend with a silicone roller. Next, cover them with a special tool, fixing the result.
The next step is to apply the paint of the color chosen by the client.
The final step is the application of Botox.
Eyelashes immediately after the procedure immediately acquire the desired shine, volume and length. There is no need to wait a day when they fluff up (unlike lamination). You can wash, use your favorite cream, sleep face in the pillow.
As for the time spent on the procedure, it takes about two hours. It is necessary to warn those girls who are first going to make Botox eyelashes, the effect of extended eyelashes after the first procedure will not work. It will only restore their own hairs.
The cost of Botox for eyelashes is significantly different from lamination.As a rule, the price of the first service is twice as high, which is caused by the reducing functions of the emulsion used. The effect of Botox can last up to four months.
As well as lamination, Botox has a number of contraindications:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- eye diseases, surgeries;
- allergy to serum components;
- endocrine and hormonal disorders;
- increased tearing;
- period of menstruation.
Choosing between these two procedures, each relies on personal preferences, the desired effect, the possibilities of the wallet.
Of course, lamination gives the eyelashes a visible beautiful effect, Botox is a procedure for comprehensive healing of the cuticles. For those who want to have beautiful and restored eyelashes, while maintaining the result for a long time, you can advise to do together and lamination, and Botox.
It is worth noting that the Botox procedure can be carried out not only for eyelashes, but also for eyebrows. Especially well it will suit girls who can not boast of nature with thick hairs or owners of naughty hair. Botox for eyebrows will help to make the hair thicker, you no longer have to comb them and smooth them with gel - they will keep the shape perfectly. With this procedure, you can forget about the correction for a half or two months.
Reviews
The best advertisement of any procedure is the presence of a large number of positive feedback from real customers.
In relation to lamination lashes can meet a huge number of positive reviews. It has the maximum number of stars for performance. Many girls note the effect of the striking transformation of their eyelashes - thick, bright, wide-open look. Lamination is a great substitute for using mascara in the summer. Many girls, having tried the procedure, no longer represent the life of their eyelashes without lamination.
Along with favorable responses, this procedure has a large percentage of negative reviews. Basically, they relate to the state of the eyelashes later after the procedure. Own eyelashes as a result of lamination become brittle, lifeless, the percentage of losses increases significantly.
Many girls associate this fact with poor-quality materials or unfair work of the master. Lamination procedure today is very popular, the competition for its execution is high. Many cosmetologists significantly reduce the price to attract customers to the detriment of the quality of consumables.
There is also a specificity of keratin composition, sealing each eyelash, not allowing it to receive nutrients from the outside.
Taking into account all the above facts, the lamination procedure is recommended to be carried out in a proven beauty salon with a master who values his reputation.
As for the Botox eyelashes, then the percentage of girls and women satisfied with the procedure is unquestionably large. The secret, of course, lies in the healing effect, complex restoration, nutrition of eyelashes.
As a result of the Botox procedure, eyelashes get a beautiful bend, they look natural.
It can be concluded that Botox is a more modern and at the same time gentle treatment for the beauty of eyelashes.
