10/27/2016 Why do my eyelash extensions twist? Red Lotus in Beaverton, Oregon talks about eyelash extensions.Read Now Eyelash extensions twisting can mean a few things. One is that the lashes can be too heavy. When the lashes are too heavy, they can weaken the eyelash and the eyelash simply cannot hold it so they tip over. Another reason can be that the lashes are too grown out. As the lashes start to grow out, they are not tight on the base (the root, or strongest point of the lash) which causes them to tip over.

Red Lotus in Portland, Oregon talks about eyebrow tattooing.Read Now Each client has their own unique vision of what eyebrows should look like. Selecting an eyebrow style or technique must be matched to the individual client, their goals, their needs. I never do a “cookie cutter” approach. There is no one right or best style except the one that is best for YOU!
Sometimes eyebrows suffer from fads. Skinny little lines or big fat brows that nearly meet in the middle of the nose. Neither is a great choice for permanent cosmetics. Yes, permanent makeup fades, but it takes a long time, years to completely go away. In the mean time you are stuck. Changing brows once they are in place is very difficult. The end result will be better, but not as good as it could have been if done right the first time. Your face, your bones dictate the best brow shape and placement for you. If we don’t respect the bones, the brows don’t age as well. You want them to look fabulous today, next month and years from now. I always take before and after photos so we can see you in your current makeup, without makeup, and the finished result. I measure and mark, with your input. We design them together. Brows should always be measured and marked – not done freehand. You get a much better outcome. Why? Because everyone’s face is asymmetrical. We want to give the illusion of them looking more alike but respecting the bones. Together we evaluate your goals, your skin and come up with a plan to get your look. Microblading is a current marketing style. It is individual hair strokes which has been done for over 20 years. The key difference is it is done with what they call a blade. But is is not really a blade. It is a manual tool with a single row of needles. The skin is stretched taunt and the blade drawn across the skin in a slicing action. Done too superficially, it fades away in 4-6 weeks. Done too deeply, it can scar. Each hair is applied in a single stroke, not reinforced. The finished look is individual hairs with skin showing through between. Because the strokes are not reinforced this technique requires at least annual re-enhancement. Hair strokes: This technique can be done with a manual, or motor driven device. It uses a single row of needles like microblading. Hair strokes are implanted one at a time. Some may be reinforced for better hold. For a natural look strokes may be done in different directions. This technique needs re-enhancement every 18-24 months. The Blend: This technique is done either with a manual or motor driven device. Needle choices are slightly broader. Hair strokes are implanted and then portions of the brow, where hair naturally grows more dense are reinforced so the end effect is natural looking, with some hair strokes showing and some blended. Typically re-enhancement is 2-3 years. Powder fill: If you are used to seeing yourself wearing pencil filled brows, this may be the look you really want. While the pigment is still implanted in hair strokes, they are closer together. Healed, the finished look is you in well designed, makeup. Skin does not show between the strokes. Some clients think they want the hair strokes, but don’t like the “holes” between them where skin shows through. Re-enhancement varies from 2-5 years depending on many factors. Shaded: This can be done with any of the other techniques. It uses multiple shades of color to create highlighting along the top of the brow and shading along the bottom to give it more three dimensional feel.

Red Lotus in Beaverton, Oregon talks about chemical peels.Read Now Once you have decided to proceed with a skin procedure such as a chemical peel, scheduling is one of the next major considerations. The fall and winter are good times to opt for treatments that can help improve your complexion, as well as for major plastic surgery. With many months before you will be spending a lot of time in the sun, your skin is more protected from the complications that can occur if you receive too much UV exposure while your skin is in the recovery and healing stage. Many people also find it easier to stay indoors and recuperate during this time of year.
Depending on whether you opt for a superficial, medium, or deep treatment, a chemical peel can address skin concerns ranging from pigment changes and mild sun damage to more extensive wrinkles and lesions. Deeper peels are done on the face, while superficial peels can address concerns on other areas of the body as well. Common reasons for opting for this procedure are the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles as well as enhancement to the texture and clarity of skin. During a chemical peel, the skin is cleaned and then treated with a solution known as a wounding or exfoliating agent. The solution is intended to destroy portions of the skin to which it is applied, encouraging the growth of new skin in its place over a period of time following the procedure. Toward the end of the treatment, the chemical is neutralized. The strength of the solution and length of time are dependent upon the type of peel, with medium and deep peels using stronger chemicals that are applied in multiple 15-minute increments during a 60 to 90 minute procedure. The level of sedatives and pain medications that are used also correlate to the extensiveness of the peel. Over the following days to weeks, skin on the treated area will peel and begin the process of creating new layers to replace those that have been destroyed. Skin must be cared for properly during recovery to ensure proper healing, long-lasting results, and avoid infection. Sun exposure has the potential to introduce color changes and hyperpigmentation, therefore it is important to avoid this until the skin has finish peeling completely and daily sunscreen use can be added to the post-procedure regimen. Since there are lower UV levels during the fall and winter, these seasons are optimal for recovery. For patients who are receiving a series of peels spaced a month or more apart, they can complete an entire set of treatments without having to cope with high sun exposure. While sunscreen still must be applied daily, the chance of damage is decreased significantly. Additionally, many people find it easier to take some time to recuperate indoors during the colder months, without the added pressure of summer vacations, beach trips, and other outdoor activities. If a chemical peel is selected as the best option for your skin care concerns, scheduling the procedure during the fall or winter may help to optimize your ability to recover. Whenever your chemical peel is scheduled, it is important to follow your physician’s recovery instructions fully to ensure the best results and prevent skin damage.

Red Lotus in Beaverton, Oregon talks about Eyelash Extensions.Read Now For women over 50, the natural eyelash growth cycle slows down and lashes become scarce. Filling in your lashes with extensions is an easy and effective way to achieve a fuller, more youthful look – and it can be an incredibly relaxing experience. Some places even throw in a complimentary hand and foot massage during the treatment.
If you’re curious about eyelash extensions and considering them for yourself, here are some of the pros and cons. Pro: Your eyes instantly look younger. Full, flirty lashes work wonders for giving your face a lifted and youthful appearance. They also distract from the look of crow’s feet and fine lines. Con: Upkeep can be pricey. For a full set of eyelash extensions, you can expect to pay somewhere in the ballpark of $150. If you’re planning on regular upkeep, it’s recommended to have your lashes refilled every two weeks to maintain a full look, and these refills can cost around $90 per treatment. Pro: Eyelash extensions look gorgeously natural.False lashes are always a great way to add some glam to your makeup, but extensions are much more natural-looking. Con: They can be high maintenance.It’s crucial not to get your lash extensions wet for 24-48 hours after application. To prolong their lifespan, it’s also important to avoid oil-based eyeliner, mascara, and you have to be careful when washing your face. This can especially be a bit of a nuisance in the shower. Pro: Your daily makeup routine will be super easy.One of the main reasons why people are obsessed with lash extensions is because it cuts down on the need for actual makeup. When you wake up, your eyes will already look perfect. Add some concealer, blush and lip gloss, and you’re ready to go! Con: Eye creams reduce staying power.Oil-based or extra-rich eye creams can reduce the staying power of your lash extensions. Of course, discontinuing the use of anti-wrinkle creams (or keeping the delicate eye area moisturized) isn’t a good idea. So for women over 50, lash extensions may have a shorter lifespan.
