Q: How might my sensitivity levels change during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, hormonal changes can heighten skin sensitivity and affect how your body reacts to cosmetic products. Some women may find they have increased sensitivity to the dyes used in tinting or the adhesives used in lash extensions. To address this, we  insist on a patch test 24 or 48  hours prior to your appointment to ensure you don’t have any adverse reactions.

Q: Are there any specific precautions I should take?

While our products are of a high quality, it’s always good to consult your healthcare provider before undergoing any beauty treatments during pregnancy. We also suggest avoiding any scent-sensitive areas or allowing for breaks during the appointment if you feel overwhelmed.

Q: Can I still achieve the look I want?

Certainly! there are a few things to consider, and here is  a more detailed look at how pregnancy can affect lash and brow services, including some scientific explanations behind the changes:

Hormonal Changes
During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant hormonal shifts, and they can have various effects on the body

Hair Growth: Increased estrogen may lead to a temporary phase of hair growth (Anagen phase) for some women. This could result in faster growth of lashes and brows. meaning more regular appointments.

Pigmentation Changes: Hormonal changes can also affect melanin production, leading to changes in the color of lashes and brows, which might influence the final outcome of tinting services.

Increased Sensitivity: The skin often becomes more sensitive during pregnancy due to increased blood flow and hormonal changes affecting skin elasticity and sensitivity. our therapists will do their best to make you feel comfortable.

Effects on Services: Product Reactions: This heightened sensitivity can lead to a greater likelihood of adverse reactions to dyes, adhesives, or other products used during lash and brow services. For example, a client who previously had no issues may experience redness or irritation from standard products.

Swelling
Fluid retention, commonly experienced in pregnancy
