Can I still wear mascara with lash extensions?

You will not need mascara most days. Extensions already add length and volume. Still, you can use a lash-safe formula if you want. Skip waterproof mascara, since it is hard to remove. Never use it on Volume or Mega Volume sets. The fans can clump and lose their shape.

How should I sleep with eyelash extensions?

Try to sleep on your back when you can. This keeps pressure off your lashes. Side and stomach sleeping can bend or break them. A silk or satin pillowcase helps a lot too. It lets lashes slide instead of catching. Good sleep habits stretch your set further.

Are eyelash extensions safe if I have sensitive eyes?

Many people with sensitive eyes wear extensions fine. Still, tell your artist before you book. Share any past reactions or eye conditions. This helps us plan the safest approach for you. Watery or sensitive eyes may need extra care. So stop and tell us if anything stings. Your comfort guides every step.

Can I get lash extensions for a wedding or event?

Yes, extensions are perfect for big days. They photograph beautifully and last for weeks. Book your set a few days before the event. This gives any redness time to settle. We can also do a trial run first. That way you love the look in advance.

Do eyelash extensions hurt?

No, a good appointment feels relaxing. Your eyes stay gently closed the whole time. Each extension sits on a single lash. So nothing pulls or tugs at your skin. Many clients drift off and nap. You should never feel any sharp pain.

How do I make my lash extensions last longer?

A few small habits make a big difference. Keep your lashes clean with a lash-safe wash. Brush them gently with a spoolie each morning. Avoid oil-based products near your eyes. Skip steam rooms and heavy rubbing too. Then book your fills every two to three weeks.

Why does laser hair removal take 6 to 8 sessions instead of just one or two?

Only the hairs in their active growth phase are vulnerable to the laser, which is roughly 20 to 30 percent of your total hair at any given moment. Each session catches a new wave of follicles cycling into growth, and the math works out to 6 to 8 sessions for full coverage. For a deeper breakdown of session timing, read our complete guide at https://eyecandymedbeauty.com/how-many-laser-hair-removal-sessions/.

Can laser hair removal help with ingrown hairs and razor bumps?

Yes. For most clients with chronic ingrown hairs or razor bumps (pseudofolliculitis barbae), laser hair removal is one of the most effective long-term solutions. By targeting the follicle directly, the laser reduces or eliminates the recurring hairs that cause inflammation and ingrowns in the first place. Many Lakewood clients book laser specifically because shaving, waxing, and threading kept producing the same skin irritation cycle.

Will laser hair removal work if I have PCOS or unwanted hormonal hair growth?

Laser hair removal works on hormonal hair, but the timeline and maintenance look different. PCOS, thyroid conditions, and other hormonal imbalances can stimulate new follicles long after your initial series ends, which means you'll likely need a few extra sessions during your first round and occasional maintenance touch-ups over the years. Your provider will design your plan with this pattern in mind.

Can I switch from waxing to laser hair removal?

Yes, but you'll need to stop waxing, threading, sugaring, plucking, and any other root-removal methods at least 4 weeks before your first laser session. The laser needs an intact follicle to target, and methods that pull the entire hair from the root leave the laser with nothing to find. Shaving is the only hair removal method allowed during this 4-week transition window.

Can I get laser hair removal on tattooed skin?

The laser cannot fire over tattooed areas, since the ink absorbs the laser energy in ways that can damage both the skin and the tattoo. Your provider will plan treatment to work around any existing tattoos, leaving a small buffer zone around the ink. If you're considering a new tattoo in an area you'd like to laser, we recommend completing your laser series first.

Does shaving between laser sessions cause hair to grow back thicker?

No. Shaving doesn't change the thickness, color, or growth rate of your hair. The myth comes from how shaved hair looks: it grows back with a blunt tip rather than a tapered one, which can feel coarser. Hair growing in between your laser sessions is part of the natural cycle the laser is working through, and it's already on its way out.

Will laser hair removal completely stop my hair from growing back?

Laser hair removal causes long-term reduction, not permanent removal. Most clients see 70 to 90 percent reduction after a full series of 6 to 8 sessions, with the remaining hair growing back finer and lighter than before. Some clients need annual maintenance touch-ups every year or two to catch new hairs from hormonal changes, but the majority of the original growth is gone for good.

Does laser hair removal work on all hair colors?

Laser hair removal works best on hair with active melanin, which means dark brown and black hair respond fastest. Blonde, red, gray, and white hair contain less melanin and don't absorb the laser energy as effectively, so results are typically slower or limited. During your consultation, your provider will assess your specific hair color and growth pattern and give you an honest read on what to expect.

How is the diode laser different from other hair removal lasers?

The diode laser uses a longer wavelength than older laser types, which lets it reach the hair follicle without absorbing as much energy at the skin surface. This makes it both more effective on darker skin tones and more comfortable during treatment. Older Nd:YAG and alexandrite lasers each have their own use cases, but for the range of clients we see, diode delivers consistent results with fewer settings adjustments per session.

Can I get laser hair removal while pregnant?

We don't perform laser hair removal on clients who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding. There aren't enough long-term safety studies on laser exposure during pregnancy to clear it as safe, and hormonal changes during and after pregnancy can alter hair growth patterns in ways that affect results. We recommend waiting until you've finished breastfeeding before starting or resuming a treatment series.

What does a laser hair removal session actually feel like?

Most clients describe each laser pulse as a quick warm snap, similar to a rubber band against the skin. Some areas are more sensitive than others, particularly the bikini line, upper lip, and underarms. Sessions are short. Underarms take a few minutes, full legs around 30 to 45 minutes. The diode laser's built-in cooling system helps the experience stay comfortable across the whole appointment.

How soon after my first session will I see results?

You'll notice the treated area looking smoother within a couple of weeks of your first session, but the most visible change is the shedding that happens 1 to 2 weeks in. Real reduction becomes visible around session 3 or 4.

How do I know if I should start with Classic, Hybrid, Volume, or Mega Volume lashes?

It depends on your natural lash strength and the look you want. If your natural lashes are fine or sparse, we'll usually recommend Classic or Hybrid first since they're lighter and easier on the lash line. Volume and Mega Volume sets work best when your natural lashes can support more weight. Your Lakewood lash artist will assess your lashes and recommend the right starting point at your first appointment.

Should I get a lash lift instead of eyelash extensions in Lakewood?

It depends on what you're trying to solve. A lash lift curls your existing lashes for a wide-eyed effect without adding any product. Eyelash extensions add length, density, and curl using individual extensions glued to each natural lash. Both have different costs, timelines, and maintenance routines. We break it all down in our full comparison of lash lifts versus extensions at https://eyecandymedbeauty.com/lash-lift-vs-extensions-cost-longevity-compared/ if you want to dig deeper.

Can I wear contacts during my Lakewood lash appointment?

We recommend taking contacts out before your appointment and bringing your glasses to wear on the drive home. The lash adhesive releases minor vapors during curing that can irritate contact wearers. Your eyes also stay closed for 90 minutes to 3 hours, which dries contacts out and makes them uncomfortable. Plan to give your eyes a break and reinsert your contacts the next morning.

What does a healthy lash cycle look like when wearing extensions long-term?

Your natural lashes naturally shed and regrow on a roughly 60 to 90 day cycle, and that process continues with extensions on. As lashes shed, you'll lose extensions with them, which is why fills are part of the routine. Your Lakewood artist will watch how your natural lashes look across visits and recommend a short break (typically 2 to 4 weeks) once a year if your lash line needs it.

How long does a first-time lash appointment take at the Lakewood location?

Plan for 90 minutes to 3 hours for your first full set, depending on the style. Classic sets typically run 90 to 120 minutes, Hybrid and Volume sets run 2 to 2.5 hours, and Mega Volume can take up to 3 hours. The first appointment is usually slightly longer than fills, since the artist is mapping your set from scratch and you're getting full coverage on every lash.

What's the difference between a lash fill and a full set at the Lakewood location?

A full set is the initial appointment where extensions are applied to every healthy natural lash. A fill replaces the extensions that have shed naturally over the past 2 to 3 weeks, restoring the density of your original set. Fills are shorter (60 to 90 minutes), and they cost less than a full set. Most Lakewood clients alternate fills until they want to refresh with a new full set or change styles.

Safety & Aftercare Tips

Avoid Excessive Facial Movement

Try to limit chewing, smiling, yawning, talking, or any other strenuous facial activity for the first 24–48 hours after your PDO thread lift. Excessive motion can shift the threads out of place or cause uneven tension, which may affect your final results.

Sleep Elevated

For at least 2–3 nights post-procedure, sleep with your head slightly elevated using extra pillows or a wedge pillow. This position helps minimize swelling and prevents pressure from fluid buildup. Avoid sleeping on your side or stomach, as this can distort thread positioning.

No Makeup or Skincare for 24h

To avoid irritation or infection, do not apply makeup, lotions, or exfoliants near the treated area for at least 24 hours. The insertion points are sensitive and need time to heal. After the first day, use only mild, non-comedogenic products unless otherwise advised by your provider.

Skip High-Impact Activity

Avoid intense workouts, weightlifting, saunas, hot showers, or steam rooms for 5–7 days after your thread lift. Excessive movement, sweating, and elevated heart rate can increase inflammation, delay healing, and may interfere with the healing process or cause threads to dislodge.

Cold Compress (if needed)

Mild bruising or swelling is common and can be managed with a cold compress. Use a cloth-wrapped ice pack for 10-minute intervals. Do not apply pressure directly to the face or thread areas, as this may interfere with placement.

Follow-Up & Monitoring

Monitor your progress and reach out if you experience unusual swelling, skin puckering, asymmetry, or discomfort. A scheduled follow-up allows us to assess your healing and ensure the best possible results from your thread lift.

FAQs

What is a thread lift?

A thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses medical-grade, dissolvable threads inserted under the skin to gently lift, contour, and tighten sagging tissue—particularly in areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, and brows. It’s a great option for individuals seeking subtle, natural-looking results without the downtime of traditional surgery.

How long do the results of a thread lift last?

Thread lift results typically last between 12 to 18 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and the area treated. While the threads themselves dissolve naturally over several months, the collagen production they trigger continues to firm and improve skin texture long after. Many clients choose to maintain results with touch-up treatments or combine their thread lift with other non-invasive services for a longer-lasting outcome.

Is the procedure safe?

Yes, thread lifting is considered a very safe procedure when performed by a licensed and experienced provider. Our thread lift Newport Beach specialists use FDA-cleared PDO threads, follow strict sanitation protocols, and tailor the treatment to your unique facial structure. Side effects like swelling or bruising are typically mild and temporary, and most clients return to daily activities shortly after.

Will I see results right away?

You’ll notice an immediate lifting effect following the procedure, especially in areas like the cheeks or jawline. However, optimal results appear gradually over the next 2–6 weeks as your body begins to produce new collagen.

How much downtime should I expect?

Most clients can return to normal activities within 1–2 days post-procedure. Some may experience minor swelling, bruising, tightness, or tenderness in the treated areas for up to a week. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, and excessive facial movement for several days to help the threads settle properly and maximize results.
