Standing for Length, Volume and Lift, LVL lashes are gaining more and more popularity for the transformative effect they can have on your eyelashes. Without the need for heat or glue like traditional eyelash extensions, LVL lash lifts offer extraordinary impact with minimal maintenance. Read on to have your questions about LVL lash lift answered!

What is a LVL lash lift?

Combining an eyelash perm and an eyelash tint, the LVL treatment simply enhances what you already have. It covers your eyelashes in a special serum that straightens them from the root, giving your lashes a super curled look. They are then tinted to make them look thicker and darker. 

How long does it take?

The treatment typically lasts for 45 minutes to an hour and most of that time is spent waiting for serums and dyes to develop. Don’t be afraid to take a sneaky nap! Your lashes should last for 6 – 8 weeks before needing a top-up. 

How do I take care of them?

Don’t get the area wet for 48 hours after application, so make sure you wash your hair beforehand. You also cannot apply mascara during this time. Beyond this, just take care not to tug on the lashes when removing makeup. If you follow these steps your lashes should last the full 6 – 8 weeks. 

How much do they cost?

Costing only AED 350 at Ivory Aesthetics, they are well worth the initial investment. Save time on your daily makeup routine or if you want to ramp up your everyday look, add a dash of mascara and a bold stroke of eyeliner. This will leave your eyes looking beautifully defined.

Collagen is the building block of our muscles, skin and connective tissue but the amount of collagen in our bodies declines as we get older. However, something as simple as a collagen facial can give your skin the boost of collagen that it needs to stay looking youthful and radiant. 

Here are the Top 5 benefits of a collagen treatment for dull and ageing skin:

1. It can rewind the years

Collagen is the secret to youth and an absence of the protein can lead to fine lines and wrinkles.  A collagen treatment can reduce signs of skin ageing making you look years younger. Don’t just take our word for it, many scientific studies have shown collagen to be a crucial part of having smooth and youthful skin.

2. Boost the radiance of your complexion

Dull skin can be caused by a variety of factors, including age, genetics, or an improper diet. However, a collagen treatment penetrates to the deepest layers of the skin so your skin can glow even weeks after the treatment. 

3. Look forward to firmer looking skin

Unfortunately, sagging skin is a natural part of the ageing process as our collagen levels begin to deplete. However, a collagen treatment could save the day, as a higher concentration of the protein can make skin look and feel firmer.

4. Ideal for problem skin

Acne and eczema are common skin conditions that can really knock your confidence. However, studies have shown that collagen is great at restoring the skin’s moisture and balancing the naturally occurring oils on the surface, making it a great treatment for problematic skin. 

5. No need for surgery

With a collagen treatment, you don’t have to go under the knife in order to get great skin; our unique facials stimulate the natural production of collagen so you can leave the clinic looking fresh-faced without surgery. Best of all, collagen treatment is a relaxing experience that doesn’t require painful needles or incisions.

If you do regular facial treatments, you have probably heard of Dermaplaning. There are many celebs who swear by it, and beauty magazines that promote it, but do you really know what it is? If you’ve been scared off by scary images of scalpels, let us help eliminate any misconceptions you might have.

What it is

Dermaplaning is a non-surgical treatment that involves gently grazing the skin’s surface with a sterile blade, removing fine hairs and dead skin cells. After the treatment, you are left with very smooth, fuzz-free skin. By clearing the skin, Dermaplaning allows peels, serums & skin care products to actually sink into the skin, rather than sitting on the skin’s surface.

As such, it can be very effective when used in combination with another gentle facial treatments. Plus, our Dermaplaning treatment includes a tailor-made facial for even better results!

The benefits

In addition to helping skin care products penetrate better, there are other benefits to Dermaplaning. The removal of dead skin cells facilitates deep exfoliation to improve healing. The skin is left looking and feeling healthy and radiant. It also helps to correct mild textural abnormalities, bringing about healthy cell renewal and refreshing the skin. And despite the fact that there are blades involved, there is no pain associated with a dermaplaning treatment, so you don’t need to be worried.

How often should you be treated?

We recommend a Dermaplaning facial treatment about once a month for best results. Your skin needs enough time in between to rejuvenate so that you don’t over-exfoliate.

There are a number of at-home dermaplaning treatments in the market, but it is strongly advised that you only have the treatment administered by a professional as it can be dangerous if done by an amateur.

A pair of false lashes can truly bring something magical to your look – after application, they immediately enhance the appearance of your eyes and make you stand out from the crowd. But what are the alternatives?

LVL lash treatment (short for length-volume-lift) is an innovative beauty treatment which can create much the same effect as Huda Beauty lashes with your own natural eyelash lift.

How does LVL lash treatment work?

It’s quite simple. A beauty therapist uses a setting serum to help straighten your lashes at the roots. This creates the appearance of them being naturally curled up. The lashes are then tinted, which makes the lashes look like mascara has been applied. LVL lashes are one of the most popular beauty trends in Dubai at the moment, but that’s not to say that Huda Beauty lashes don’t have their place, either.

What are the best Huda Beauty lashes to choose?

There’s no straight answer to this one – it all depends on the look you’re going for. For those who want a classic look without adding too much drama, Huda Beauty’s Samantha lashes are recommended. These medium-volume lashes are great for a more natural look, and work well with smoky eye makeup.

Those who want thicker, more dramatic lashes should opt for the Lana range. These are best suited to heavy eye makeup.

Huda Beauty’s Scarlett lashes are the best for ladies who want to go for complete drama. These lashes are longer towards the end of the strip, creating an interesting effect at the edges of the eyes – perfect for a kooky, experimental look.

For those seeking a naturally glam appearance, Giselle lashes work best. These are perfect for day or evening wear and provide lots of length and volume.

Huda Beauty lashes or LVL lash treatment?

Ultimately, it all comes down to personal preference. While LVL lash treatment provides a much more natural look, the convenience of Huda Beauty lashes cannot be understated.
