DERMAPLANING

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing the top layer of dead skin cells and hair (peach fuzz) from the face using a scalpel or similar tool. The procedure is done to exfoliate the skin and promote a smoother, brighter complexion.

Why should I get Dermaplaning?

There are several benefits to getting dermaplaning, including:

Exfoliation: Removes the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter skin.
Improved Skin Texture: By removing fine hairs, the skin appears smoother and can better absorb skincare products.
Brightening Effect: Removes the dull, dead skin cells, which can make skin look dull, resulting in a brighter complexion.
Improved Makeup Application: Removing fine hairs creates a smoother surface, making it easier to apply makeup and improving the overall look.
Safe and Painless: Dermaplaning is a non-invasive procedure that is considered safe and relatively painless.

It’s important to note that individual results may vary and it’s best to consult with a licensed skincare professional to determine if dermaplaning is right for you and your skin goals.

When is Dermaplaning not recommended?

Dermaplaning may not be suitable for everyone and there are certain circumstances where it is not recommended, including:

Active Acne: If you have active acne or breakouts, dermaplaning may spread the bacteria and worsen the condition.
Sunburn or Irritated Skin: If your skin is sunburned or irritated, dermaplaning may cause additional discomfort or redness.
Sensitive Skin: If you have sensitive skin, you may be more prone to redness, itching, or irritation after the procedure.
Rosacea: If you have rosacea, a skin condition characterized by redness and sensitivity, dermaplaning may worsen your symptoms.
Skin Conditions: If you have a skin condition such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis, dermaplaning may not be suitable for you.

It’s always best to consult with a licensed skincare professional before undergoing any cosmetic procedure to determine if it is safe and appropriate for you

Dermaplaning after care:

Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure for 24 hours after the treatment. Sunburn or tanning can cause skin irritation and make any redness or sensitivity more noticeable.
Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
Avoid Exfoliating: Avoid exfoliating the skin for at least 24 hours after the treatment. Exfoliating too soon can cause skin irritation and redness.
Avoid Harsh Products: Avoid using harsh products such as retinoids or alpha-hydroxy acids for 24 hours after the treatment. These products can cause skin irritation and redness.
Moisturise: Moisturise your skin regularly to keep it hydrated and nourished.
Avoid Touching Your Face: Avoid touching your face with your hands as much as possible. Bacteria from your hands can easily transfer to the skin and cause breakouts.

By following these after-care tips, you can help ensure that your skin remains healthy, hydrated, and smooth after a dermaplaning treatment. If you experience any redness, itching, or skin irritation, please contact Marli Becker for advice.

BROW LAMINATION

What is brow lamination?

Brow Lamination is a cosmetic procedure that involves straightening and setting the brow hairs in a desired shape. The process uses a solution to reshape the brows and give them a fuller, more uniform appearance. It typically lasts 4-6 weeks and involves brushing the brow hairs up and setting them in place with a solution. This can give the appearance of fuller, thicker eyebrows without the need for makeup or other products. The procedure is typically performed by a licensed skincare professional or esthetician. It’s important to note that individual results may vary and it’s best to consult with a professional to determine if brow lamination is right for you and your desired look.

Fuller Brows: By straightening and setting the hairs in place, brow lamination can give the appearance of fuller, thicker brows.
Low Maintenance: The lamination solution keeps the brow hairs in place, reducing the need for daily styling and maintenance.
Customized Shape: A professional can reshape the brows to your desired look, creating a uniform, polished appearance.
Time-Saving: With the brow hairs set in place, it can take less time to get ready in the morning as you don’t have to style your brows as often.
Long-Lasting: Brow lamination typically lasts 4-6 weeks, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.

Is brow lamination suitable for everyone?

Brow lamination may not be suitable for everyone and there are certain circumstances where it is not recommended, including:

Sensitive Skin: If you have sensitive skin, you may be more prone to redness, itching, or irritation after the procedure.
Skin Conditions: If you have a skin condition such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis, brow lamination may not be suitable for you.
Allergic Reactions: Some people may have an allergic reaction to the products used in the lamination process.
Recently Tweezed or Waxed Brows: If you have recently tweezed or waxed your brows, it’s best to wait at least 2-3 weeks before undergoing brow lamination.

Brow lamination after care?

After getting brow lamination, it’s important to follow these aftercare tips to ensure the best results and avoid any potential complications:

Avoid Water: Avoid getting your brows wet for at least 24-48 hours after the procedure. This will help the solution set properly and prevent the brows from losing their shape.

No Sweat: Avoid sweating or exercising for the first 24 hours after the procedure to prevent the solution from breaking down.
No Waxing or Tweezing: Avoid waxing or tweezing your brows for at least 2 weeks after the procedure to allow the solution to fully set and the brows to settle into their new shape.

HENNA BROWS

What is Henna Brows?

Henna brows are a semi-permanent cosmetic treatment that uses a natural dye made from the leaves of the henna plant to tint the eyebrows. The henna dye stains the skin and hair, creating a more defined and fuller brow look. The procedure typically lasts between 4-6 weeks and can be performed by a licensed skincare professional or esthetician. Unlike traditional eyebrow tinting, which uses chemical dyes, henna is a natural alternative that is gentler on the skin and does not damage the hair. Henna brows can be a good option for those who want to enhance their brows without the use of makeup or for those with sparse or light-colored eyebrows who want a more defined look. It’s important to consult with a professional to determine if henna brows are right for you and your desired look.

Natural Ingredients: Henna is made from natural ingredients and does not contain harsh chemicals, making it a gentler option for the skin and hair.
Long-Lasting: Henna brows typically last between 4-6 weeks, compared to the 3-7 days of traditional brow tinting.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Henna is a natural alternative to chemical dyes and can be a good option for those with sensitive skin who may experience irritation or redness with traditional tinting.
Versatile: Henna can be used to tint both the skin and hair, creating a more defined and fuller brow look, whereas traditional tinting is limited to just the hair.
Stains the Skin: Unlike traditional tinting, which only stains the hair, henna can also stain the skin to create a more defined and filled-in look

No Makeup: Avoid wearing makeup on your brows for the first 24 hours after the procedure.
No Sweating: Avoid sweating or exercising for the first 24 hours after the procedure to prevent the henna from breaking down.

LASH LIFT & LASH TINT

What is a lash lift ?

A lash lift is a cosmetic treatment that enhances the natural shape and appearance of eyelashes. The treatment involves using a silicone rod or perm pad to lift and curl the lashes upward. A lifting solution is then applied to the lashes, which breaks down the bonds in the lashes and allows them to be reshaped. After the lifting solution has been applied, a setting solution is applied to help hold the new shape.

The entire process usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour and the results can last for 4-6 weeks.

It can be a good option for those who want to enhance the look of their natural lashes without the need for daily maintenance.

The benefits of a lash lift

Low Maintenance: Lash lifts require very little maintenance and can last for 4-6 weeks, making them a low-maintenance alternative to eyelash extensions.
Natural Look: Lash lifts enhance the natural shape and appearance of eyelashes, creating a natural and youthful look.
Time-saving: Lash lifts can save time in the morning as they eliminate the need for daily eyelash curling.
Safe: Lash lifts are safe and low-risk when performed by a licensed professional. They are less damaging to the natural lashes compared to eyelash extensions.
Customizable: Lash lifts can be customized to suit the individual’s desired look, including the amount of curl and lift.
Enhances Natural Lashes: Lash lifts enhance the natural lashes, making them look longer, fuller and more lifted, without the need for mascara or eyelash extensions.

Lash lift after care

Here are some aftercare tips to follow after getting a lash lift to ensure the best results and prevent any potential complications:

Avoid Water: Avoid getting your lashes wet for at least 24-48 hours after the procedure to allow the lift solution to fully set.
No Mascara: Avoid wearing mascara for 24-48 hours after the procedure to avoid disrupting the lift and potentially causing damage to the lashes.
No Rubbing: Avoid rubbing your eyes or lashes for 24-48 hours after the procedure to prevent the lift from becoming misshapen.
No Steam: Avoid exposure to steam or heat for 24-48 hours after the procedure to prevent the lift from breaking down.

What is a lash tint ?

A lash tint is a cosmetic treatment that involves colouring the eyelashes to enhance their appearance. The treatment involves applying a semi-permanent dye to the lashes, which can last for several weeks. Lash tinting can be used to darken light or sparse lashes, to enhance the natural color of the lashes, or to create a bold and dramatic look. The tinting process typically takes about 15-30 minutes and is relatively low-risk when performed by a licensed professional. It’s important to seek out a licensed professional for this treatment to ensure proper application and to minimize the risk of eye irritation or damage. Lash tinting can be a good option for those who want to enhance the look of their lashes without the need for daily maintenance or for those who have allergies to mascara.

Lash tint aftercare ?

After getting a lash tint, it is recommended to:

Avoid getting the lashes wet for at least 24 hours to allow the tint to fully set.
Avoid using oil-based products around the eyes, as oils can cause the tint to fade more quickly.
Avoid using eye makeup that may irritate the eyes, such as waterproof mascara, for at least 24 hours.
Gently clean the lashes with a mild cleanser, avoiding the use of any harsh products.
Protect the lashes from sun exposure, as UV rays can cause the tint to fade more quickly.
Get touch-ups every 4-6 weeks to maintain the desired tint.

WAXING

Waxing is a popular form of hair removal because it offers several benefits for the skin and body. Here are some reasons why waxing is good for you:

Long-lasting results: Waxing removes hair from the roots, which means it takes longer for the hair to grow back. Depending on the individual, waxing results can last for several weeks, providing a smooth and hair-free appearance.
Exfoliation: Waxing removes dead skin cells along with the hair, providing a gentle form of exfoliation that can leave the skin smooth and soft.
Prevent ingrown hairs: Waxing can help prevent ingrown hairs, which are hairs that grow back into the skin instead of up and out. Ingrown hairs can cause redness, irritation, and bumps on the skin.
Cost-effective: Although the initial cost of waxing may be higher than other forms of hair removal, it can be more cost-effective in the long run as it lasts longer and eliminates the need for regular maintenance.

When is waxing not recommended?

Facial waxing may not be recommended in certain situations, such as:

Sunburn: If your skin is sunburned, it may be more sensitive and susceptible to irritation and redness after waxing. It is recommended to wait until the skin has fully healed before getting a facial wax.
Skin Conditions: If you have any skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or acne, it is best to avoid facial waxing. Waxing can irritate these conditions and make them worse.
Medications: Certain medications such as retinoids and alpha-hydroxy acids or accutane can make the skin more sensitive and susceptible to irritation after waxing. It is important to consult with a dermatologist before getting a facial wax if you are taking these medications.
Recent Facial Procedures: If you have recently had a facial procedure such as a chemical peel, microdermabrasion, or laser treatment, it is best to avoid waxing for several weeks. Waxing can irritate the skin and slow down the healing process.

Wax after care

After a facial waxing treatment, it is important to follow some simple after-care guidelines to ensure optimal skin health and minimise the risk of irritation, redness, and breakouts. Here are some tips for proper facial waxing after-care:

Avoid Touching the Waxed Area: Try to avoid touching the waxed area with your hands as much as possible. Bacteria from your hands can easily transfer to the skin and cause breakouts.
Don’t Exfoliate for 24 Hours: Avoid exfoliating the waxed area for at least 24 hours after the treatment. Exfoliating can irritate the skin and increase the risk of breakouts.
Avoid Hot Showers: Take cool or lukewarm showers for the first 24 hours after the treatment. Hot water can cause irritation and redness, especially if the skin is already sensitive from the waxing process.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure for 24 hours after the treatment. Sunburn or tanning can cause skin irritation and make any redness or bumps more noticeable.
Apply Moisturiser: Apply a gentle moisturiser to the waxed area to soothe the skin and prevent dryness.

Following these after-care guidelines will help ensure a smooth and comfortable post-waxing experience and promote healthy skin.
