How Long Can Eyelash Lift Results Last?

Long, full, thick, and curled lashes are among the most sought-after hallmarks of beauty today, in part thanks to the prevalence of fake lashes and eyelash extensions. For those not blessed with naturally long lashes, those who aren't interested in applying faux lashes, or those who want a longer-lasting alternative to mascara and eyelash curling, lash lifting can be an exciting solution. At Elite Styles Salon and Med Spa, licensed medical esthetician (LME) Vivian Mokwa and our team of aesthetic specialists are proud to offer a complete range of eyelash services, including eyelash lifting. With a professional lash lift, you can join the many Miami, FL aesthetic patients who enjoy more voluminous, longer-looking lashes for up to two months or longer without the need for constant curling, mascara, and other products. Keep reading for a closer look at what to expect with a lash lift, including how long your lash lift results can last.

What does an eyelash lift do?

Eyelash lifting is a popular aesthetic treatment that uses a professional-grade solution to gently yet effectively reshape and reposition eyelashes. Unlike using a handheld lash curler, which may only give you a few hours of curled lashes, the results of an eyelash lift can last for weeks or months at a time. Not only can a lash lift help the lashes retain a curled, uplifted shape, but it can also create the appearance of longer and fuller lashes overall.

What happens during an eyelash lift?

Each eyelash lift is tailored to the patient's individual needs and goals, though general steps of eyelash lifting include:

• Cleansing and preparation of the lashes
• Application of a specialized chemical solution
• Application of a neutralizing agent
• Final cleaning

For patients who are also interested in getting more vibrant or rich lashes, an eyelash tint can be combined with lash lifting.

How long does a professional lash lift last?

When performed by a qualified and experienced aesthetic specialist, a professional eyelash lift can last up to 6 – 8 weeks — and longer, in some cases — before a repeat treatment may be needed.

How can you make a lash lift last longer?

There are several things you should and shouldn't do to ensure your eyelash lift results last as long as possible, including:

• Keep the lashes dry for at least 1 – 2 days after treatment
• Do not use eye makeup and cleansers for at least 1 – 2 days after treatment
• Use a gentle cleanser to clean your lashes and to remove makeup after the initial 1 – 2 days post-treatment
• Use a lash brush to regularly separate and brush your lashes
• Try to avoid touching or rubbing your eyes
• Minimize exposure to heat, humidity, and chlorine

With these lash lift aftercare tips, you can help your long, voluminous, influencer-worthy eyelashes last for up to two months or longer.
