Conjunctivitis Styes Hay fever Watery eye Any Skin irritation or hypersensitivity around the eye Any eye surgery (approximately 6 months) Cuts, bruises and abrasions. Very nervous client Recent scar tissue. Infectious and non-infectious skin conditions specific to the eye and surrounding area to include: Atopic eczema Atopic dermatitis Psoriasis Contact lenses must be removed Pre-Care The client should be advised not to wear mascara when coming to the salon for any tinting treatment. After Care The following Information should be given to each client who is having a tinting treatment: Avoid rubbing the eyes Avoid heat treatments for 24 hours Avoid sunbathing for 24 hours, as this fades the tint Avoid putting your contact lenses back in for the rest of the day Although we make sure every trace of dye is removed, it is possible that residues may remain Do not apply make-up or receive any other eye treatments for at least 24 hours after your treatment. No perfumed products or lotions ( if the eyebrows have been shaped) Apply after-wax or aloe vera to soothe the skin if required, at home Try not to tweeze the eyebrows between treatments as this may change the shape of the brow and causes the hair growth cycle to change. Home care Sterex Aloe Vera- Pure aloe vera to soothe the skin at home Gi Gi Post Wax Cooling Gel – Contains cucumber, aloe vera, glycerine and menthol to sooth the skin and reduce redness. Gi Gi Slow Grow- contains argan oil for deep extensive moisture; it helps to minimize appearance of hair re-growth Propil Growth Inhibator Cream- If having the propil treatment on eye brow area. CID i-groom- For extra definition and precision at home: gives extra time between treatments as the tint fades. CID i-fix- Fixes the eyebrows in place- great for clients whose eyebrows are wiry or longer. Sleeping Beauty Protocol For Tinting Treatments Treatment In order for you to carry out your treatment you will need to have your treatment room prepared prior to taking your client in. You will need to have all equipment prior to commencing your treatment so that everything you need is to hand. The equipment you will need is: Tint- Brown, Blue/Black & Black Dappen Dish Disposable Tinting Brush Peroxide Damp Cotton Wool Pads Cotton Buds Paper Skin Protectors Vaseline/Petroleum Jelly Head Band Eye Make-up remover (Elemis Rehydrating Rose Cleanser or Elemis White Flowers Make-up Remover) PLEASE NOTE- Any client wishing to have a tinting treatment done should have a Patch Test done 24hr or more IN OUR SALON PRIOR to having a treatment done. This should be re-checked at the beginning of the treatment. If the client has not had tinting done for over a year they would need to be re patch tested before they could have a tinting treatment. PLEASE NOTE that the Eyebrow Redesign tint is different from the standard tint so a different patch test is also required for this treatment. Eye Brow Tinting 1. The therapist should check the client’s record card prior to treatment paying particular attention to allergies and skin sensitivity. The client should have had a patch test done at least 24 hours (ideally 48 hours) prior to the treatment if she/he have not been treated in our salons before for tinting treatments. 2. The therapist should make the client comfortable on the treatment couch and explain the procedure of the treatment to the client. The therapist should then place a headband on the clients head to protect the hair and keep the hair out of the way of the treatment area. 3. The therapist should discuss fully the client’s expectations; colour choice and depth of colour that the client would like to achieve from her/his treatment. If the client is unsure or is wary about the result being too dark, the therapist should reassure the client and let her/him know that it can be applied, removed and checked and then reapplied if not dark enough. 4. If the client has any eyebrow pencil or powder on the area, this should be removed using damp cotton pads and eye make-up remover and blotted dry. 5. The therapist should apply petroleum jelly/Vaseline using a cotton bud to the skin surrounding the eyebrow; this will protect the clients skin from any staining 6. The therapist should mix the chosen colour of tint with peroxide as per developers’ instructions in a clean dappen dish. 7. The therapist should apply the tint to the area, being careful not to allow any tint to touch the skin underneath the hairs. (UNLESS the client wants to fill in patchy eyebrows with the tint in which case tint can be applied to the skin carefully shaping to the desired end result). The tint should be left for a few minutes to develop (normally 2 minutes). The tint can be left on for up to 10 minutes for a very dark result. 8. The therapist should remove the tint from the area thoroughly using a damp cotton pad, making sure no tint has been left between the hairs. 9. The therapist should get the client to check the finished result in a hand mirror and if not dark enough, reapply for a minute or so more. Remove and check again that the client is happy. 10. If the client is having an eyebrow shape done the therapist should follow the protocol for eyebrow shaping. Eye Brow Re-Design PLEASE NOTE: The Hairwell Eyebrow Tint must be used for the Eyebrow Redesign for a longer lasting result and a separate patch test is required. 1. The therapist should check the client’s record card prior to treatment paying particular attention to allergies and skin sensitivity. The client should have had a patch test done prior to the treatment if she/he has not been treated in our salons before for tinting treatments. 2. The therapist should make the client comfortable on the treatment couch and explain the procedure of the treatment to the client. The therapist should then place a headband on the client’s head to protect the hair and keep the hair out of the way of the treatment area. 3. The therapist should discuss fully the client’s expectations, colour choice and depth of colour that the client would like to achieve from their treatment. For eyebrow redesign the therapist should ask the client if she/he wishes for the hair to be removed from the area above the eyebrow and how dramatic and dark the clients expectations are of the treatment. Also thickness and expectation of shape should be discussed. The therapist should make clear to the client if the shape desired is achievable. This is not always the case if the client has had their eyebrows over-waxed/shaped or if the client’s eyebrows are sparse. 4. The therapist should first start the eyebrow redesign by tinting using the Hairwell tints. These should be mixed as per developer’s instructions and applied onto the skin and hair. The henna in the tint will stain the skin leaving a more dramatic effect. The tint should be left on for 10 minutes and removed with dry cotton pads. Take care to make sure all tint is removed. The therapist should make sure the client is 100% happy with the colour before moving onto the next step. 5. While the tint is developing the therapist should apply hand cream and massage for a few minutes each of the client’s hands. 6. The therapist should now shape the eyebrows as per the eyebrow shaping protocol noted below: 7. If the client has never had their eyebrows shaped before or they would like them reshaped; firstly the therapist should measure the client’s eyebrows as below: Highest Point - Determines where the eyebrow should Arch Corner of Nose to Inner Corner this is only the eyebrow has Of the Eye to determine never been waxed from the top How far in from the centre of The brows the hair should be removed Corner of the Nose to the Outer corner of the eye for For Eye Brow re-Design Only- The blue highlighted length of the area shown is the area above the eyebrow that the client may wish to have removed, this will give the eyebrows clients eyebrows a more defined and precise finishe/hed result. The therapist must ask the client if they wish to have this area waxed. 8. The therapist should use the orange wood stick to measure from the corner of the nose through the inner corner of the eye and up to the eyebrow, this determines how far in from the centre of the eyebrows the hair can/should be removed. This can be shown to the client using a hand mirror. 9. They therapist should check the temperature of the wax on her own wrist. 10. The therapist should remove the hair that is on the inner to the centre part of the brow from where the wood stick sits as shown in the diagram above. The shape should follow the natural shape of the eyebrow and should not look squared unless this has been requested by the client. 11. The therapist should do this by applying a small thin layer of wax to the centre of the brow.

  • Lashes and Brows Care Instructions
    Lashes and Brows Care Instructions Eyelash Perming Care Instructions Eyelash perming is a great way to achieve the curl you’ve always dreamed of that eyelash curlers and even heated eyelash curl- ers won’t give you the same results. Eye lash perming is much like perming your hair, except in a smaller dosage and application to make it safe for your eyes. A patch test is required 48 hours prior to application to ensure solution sensitivity. Patch test can be applied on arm or back of neck and can be done during consultation. When perming eyelashes, a client who wears contacts should come in wearing glasses or bring a pair to wear after. Contacts cannot be worn during procedure and cannot be put back in until 24 hours after procedure. Client should not get eyelashes wet for 24 hours so that solution can fully develop. If they do get wet, perming process will not reach full effect and can lose most or all of curl. Client can take a shower or a bath but a dry wash- cloth should be put over eyes to avoid water from hitting eyelashes. Perm should last 1-2 months depending on how lash takes to perm. Example: straight downward positioned lashes may need to be repermed sooner that someone who already has a slight curve to their lash due to how the natural lash grows out. Eyelash and Eyebrow Tinting Care Instructions Eyelash and eyebrow tinting is ideal for those who have naturally light eyelashes or eyebrows, who have a hard time keeping mascara on from daily activities, who would like their eyebrows to match their hair color, and for those already have dark eyelashes but would like to add a glossy finish and not have to wear mascara.

And while I’ve heard of my share of procedures and treatments, “freezing your face” certainly wasn’t one of them. So when I was offered the opportunity to test out a facial treatment involving frigid temperatures and beams of vaporized liquid nitrogen, I was curious. Would I walk out of the spa looking like Mr. Freeze from Batman? With a few forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet easing their way onto my face, I figured I would take the ice-cold plunge—in the name of beauty, of course.

  • Treatment of Eyebrow Hypotrichosis Using Bimatoprost: a Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled Pilot Study
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Treatment of Eyebrow Hypotrichosis Using Bimatoprost: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled Pilot Study † KENNETH R. BEER, MD,* HILLARY JULIUS, PA,* MONICA DUNN, RN,* AND FRED WILSON,MS BACKGROUND The Food and Drug Administration has approved bimatoprost ophthalmic solution (0.03%) for the treatment of eyelash hypotrichosis. Previous reports of its efficacy in eyebrow hypotrichosis are anecdotal. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of bimatoprost 0.03% ophthalmic solution applied to the eyebrows in a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study. METHODS Subjects (n = 20) with mild to moderate eyebrow hypotrichosis enrolled in the study. One group (Bim) applied bimatoprost to each eyebrow daily for 9 months, and another applied vehicle nightly to each eyebrow for 5 months. Subjects in the latter group were re-randomized to apply bimatoprost (Veh-Bim Group) or vehicle (Veh Group) daily to each eyebrow for 4 months. The primary end point was investigator-assessed eyebrow appearance; secondary end points were subject-reported outcomes. RESULTS Investigator assessments showed significant improvements from baseline to 6 (p = .002) and 7 (p = .005) months for the eyebrows treated with bimatoprost. p-Values for the Veh-Bim and Veh groups were not significant at any time point. End-of-study subject satisfaction with eyebrow fullness or thickness and darkness or color was greater in the Bim group than in the Veh group. Adverse effects were not observed. CONCLUSION Bimatoprost 0.03% ophthalmic solution applied daily for 9 months improves the appearance of eyebrows noticeably more than vehicle, without side effects. This study was funded with a research grant by Allergan, Inc.
