Collagenation of eyelashes. What is it, consequences, photo, price

Collagenation is safe cosmetic procedureduring which the eyelashes are filled with collagen. This protein allows you to fill the voids between the scales by creating the thinnest film along the entire length, which, in turn, protects against adverse effects (cosmetics, UV rays, dust, water).

After this treatment, the eyelashes become smooth and acquire a glossy shine and density. The cost of the procedure varies depending on the region and starts from 2,000 rubles.

Training

Collagenation of eyelashes is a procedure that requires mandatory preparation before carrying out it.

As a rule, the beautician should draw the client's attention to such nuances:

• using cosmetics on the day of the manipulation can ruin the graceful curl of the eyelashes. This is due to the fact that the composition of the mascara includes wax-like and other similar components, which partially remain on the eyelashes even after washing off with special products. In addition, these products leave an invisible film on the surface of the eyelashes, which also affects the formation of a beautiful curl. You can avoid this if you refuse to use mascara on the day of collagenization;
• if you have extended eyelashes, it is recommended to remove them 2 days before the proposed procedure. The remains of the drug for their removal can also be present on the eyelashes, react with the applied agent and cause undesirable consequences in the form of irritation on the skin, therefore cosmetologists recommend pause between two procedures for at least 2 days.

The master, in turn, performs the following actions:

1. Before the start of the procedure, the hands of the beautician and the tools used by him are subjected to disinfection.
2. Then make-up is removed, if any, and the skin and eyelashes are cleared of greasy secretions.
3. The master isolates the lower eyelashes using a special tape, and brushes the upper hairs with a special brush.This is done in order to see their natural weave and get rid of mechanical confusion.
4. Next, you must additionally use a degreaser for eyelashes and eyebrows. It is worth noting that the product that is used for eyelash extension is not suitable for collagenization, since it performs a completely different function. The purpose of the preparation used is to remove impurities and normalize the pH of the eyelashes, not dry them out.
5. Then a special small roller is attached to the upper movable eyelid. It is designed to fix the eyelashes and protect the skin from getting collagenous composition on it. It is important that the master carefully performs this action, setting the roller as close to the surface of the skin as possible, otherwise a high-quality curl may not work.

The roller is selected according to the following parameters:

• for short eyelashes - S shape;
• for medium lashes - M;
• for long eyelashes - L.

Procedure step by step

Collagen products are produced in a single-use package, which includes 4 components, 0.5 ml each:

• glue, with which eyelashes are attached to the roller;
• composition No. 1 - designed to lift eyelash scales and fill them with vitamins and microelements;
• composition No. 2 - collagen, which saturates the eyelashes, giving them length and thickness;
• composition No. 3 - fixing components that fix collagen inside the hair, the curvature and length of the eyelashes.

The whole process takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. and consists of 6 steps performed in the following sequence:

1. After gluing the silicone roller, a water-soluble glue is applied to the entire length of the eyelashes. At this stage, it is important to ensure that the eyelashes are parallel to each other, otherwise they may subsequently begin to bristle in different directions.
2. After that, the first thin layer is applied - an activator. This must be done very carefully, otherwise, with an excess of the composition, the eyelashes will stick together. It is also not recommended to apply the product to the very ends of the hairs, since they are thin, the volume that will be absorbed when removing the bulk will be enough.
3. Then the master covers the eyes with a film, puts cotton pads soaked in warm water on them, and puts a towel on top.
4. After the necessary time, the beautician removes the composition No. 1 with a dry cotton swab in the direction of eyelash growth. The exposure time depends on the thickness and density of the client's hair:

• for thin eyelashes - 8 min .;
• for colored or medium-density eyelashes - 10 min .;
• for eyelashes with a dense structure - 12-14 min.

5. The next step is to apply collagen for 4-7 minutes. depending on the thickness of the eyelashes. The master removes the excess with a cotton swab.
6. Then pigment is applied if necessary. Only natural and high-quality dye is suitable for coloring, which gives the eyelashes thickness and visually increases the volume. After 5 minutes. the paint must be removed with a cotton swab.
7. Further, an additional composition is applied, which allows you to give the lashes a graceful curve, seal collagen inside and nourish the eyelashes with vitamins. It is kept on the hairs for 3 minutes.
8. Then the master separates the lashes from the previously fixed roller.

For the eyelash collagen procedure, safe formulations are used that do not contain substances such as ammonia, fragrances, preservatives, hydrogen and synthetic components.

In order to increase the effectiveness of collagen, an activator is included in the composition of the product. It has a beneficial effect on the structure of the eyelashes, nourishes, moisturizes and stimulates cell regeneration, saturates with vitamins A and B.

Care after

Collagenation does not require any labor-intensive preliminary preparation, except for removing makeup and conducting a test for individual sensitivity, but this way of caring for eyelashes needs follow-up actions to maintain a long-term effect, which are as follows:

• in the first 24 hours.after the cosmetic procedure, it is forbidden to wash;
• it is not allowed to touch the eyelashes with your hands or any objects, rub your eyes, especially in the first two days after the procedure;
• the client needs to carefully monitor his condition in order to consult a therapist or allergist in time if signs of an allergic reaction occur;
• refrain from visiting the bath, sauna and pool for the next 24 hours. after the transferred procedure;
• on the first day it is necessary to avoid exposure to steam, for example, during cooking or ironing.

It should also be borne in mind that it will be necessary to abandon the use of waterproof mascara, if possible, since with each use it will gradually wash out the collagen.

How long will the result last

The regenerating procedure allows you to maintain healthy, beautiful, shiny eyelashes for 2-3 months, after this time, the collagen procedure can be repeated again. In advanced cases, when the hairs fall out strongly, become very brittle and thin, it is recommended to repeat the manipulation monthly, until the onset of improvements.

Collagen, accumulating in tissues, will launch the regeneration system faster and restore eyelashes. The result from collagen processing can sometimes last less than 2 months. It mainly depends on the characteristics of the body and on how quickly the eyelashes grow back.

Possible complications

Collagenizing eyelashes is a safe procedure that usually goes without complications. In rare cases, there may be an undesirable reaction in the form of an allergy to the components contained in the product. An individual negative reaction to keratin is also possible.

Restrictions for the procedure apply to people prone to such a reaction. Although the composition does not come into contact with the client's skin, and the master works exclusively with eyelashes, there is no 100% guarantee that there will be no side effect. If a negative reaction of the body appears, you should immediately visit a dermatologist, allergist or therapist.

The reasons for seeking advice are the following symptoms:

• itching;
• the appearance of red dots around the eyes;
• redness and swelling of the eyelids or skin around the eyes;
• increased tearing.

Symptoms may not appear immediately after the procedure, but after a day or more, and have an increasing character.

As a therapy, a dermatologist or allergist can prescribe antihistamines in the form of tablets or ointments in accordance with the individual characteristics of the body. In rare cases, such drugs may not be enough, then a person is invited to visit a day hospital for the purpose of observation and treatment.

The procedure for collagenizing eyelashes gives them a healthy appearance, and the face - a beautiful, soulful look even without the use of cosmetics. This is an innovative technique that has been used in the cosmetic industry not so long ago, but has already gained popularity, despite its high cost.

Exposure to unfavorable environmental conditions and the age factor lead to the fact that the amount of its own collagen decreases, as a result of which the eyelashes become lifeless, thin and brittle. Collagen treatment completely solves this problem and is a worthy alternative to lamination and eyelash extension.
