The treatment sets the shape, and the first day at home decides how well it holds. None of the aftercare is complicated.
The first 24 hours
For the first day the new shape is still settling, so treat it gently.
- Keep it dry. No washing your face over the eyes or brows, no swimming, no rain if you can help it.
- Skip the steam. No saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga or very hot showers aimed at your face.
- No makeup on the treated area. No mascara on lifted lashes, no brow products on laminated brows.
- Hands off. No rubbing, no sleeping face-down if you can avoid it, no tugging at stray hairs.
If you get caught in the rain, do not panic. Pat the area dry and let it be.
After the first day
Once the shape has set, you can go back to normal. A few habits keep it looking fresh for longer.
- Brush daily. A clean spoolie through lashes in the morning, and brows brushed up into shape, keeps everything sitting where it should.
- Go easy on oils. Oil-based cleansers and heavy creams around the eyes can soften the result faster. Water-based products are kinder.
- Mascara is optional. Many lift clients find they do not need it. If you wear it, use a gentle, easy-to-remove formula.
- Remove makeup gently. Press and lift rather than scrubbing across the lash line or brow.
For laminated brows specifically
Laminated brows can feel a little dry for the first few days. A small amount of a nourishing brow serum or conditioner, applied after the first 24 hours, helps them feel soft and keeps them shiny. A keratin infusion builds that conditioning into the treatment itself.
How long results last
A Korean lash lift typically lasts four to six weeks, and brow lamination holds for several weeks, both depending on your natural growth cycle and how you care for them. There is more detail in how long a lash lift lasts.
When to rebook
Wait until the previous result has mostly grown out, usually around the six-week mark. Lifting or laminating too soon over hair that is still shaped is how over-processing happens. If you are unsure, ask us at your appointment and we will tell you when to come back.

Questions we’re often asked
How long should I keep a lash lift dry?
Keep lifted lashes dry, and away from steam and makeup, for the first 24 hours while the shape sets.
Can I wear mascara after a lash lift?
Wait at least 24 hours. After that you can, but many clients find they no longer need it.
Can I work out after brow lamination?
Avoid heavy sweating and heat for the first 24 hours. After that, normal workouts are fine.
