How do I make eyelash lift and tint at the same time?
1. Clean the eyelashes and skin around the eyes with clean water and cotton pads.
2. Apply glue to the back of the silicone perm rod and stick it on the upper eyelid. After the silicone perm rod is fixed on the eyelid, cover the lower eyelashes with the eye patch.
3. Apply glue to the surface of the silicone perm rod, use a Y-shaped brush or a separate tool to stick the eyelashes on the silicone perm rod, and comb the eyelashes straight to ensure that the eyelashes do not overlap. After the glue dries and fixes the position of the eyelashes, proceed to the next step.
4. Apply the perm agent to the eyelashes to soften the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Remove the perm agent, apply the neutralizer to shape the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes

Does the perming lotion contain the ingredient “Cysteamine” ?
Yes, some formulas contain the ingredient “Cysteamine”, then some contain the ingredient “Thioglycolic acid”. The active ingredient of the perming lotion is a reducing agent, which acts to break the disulfide bonds in the eyelash. Commonly used reducing agents are Thioglycolic acid and Cysteamine. Compare to Cysteamine, Thioglycolic acid has a strong reducing power.
Secondary Numbing essence
Can super numb tattoo cream be used for secondary numbness during treatment?
For secondary numbness after skin breakage, we recommend using secondary numbing essence. This is because pre numb tattoo cream takes at least 25 minutes to take effect, and the waiting time will be longer, while the secondary numbing essence only takes 3-5 minutes to take effect, which will not delay the treatment time. At the same time, since the patient's tattoo is in a state of broken skin, too long waiting time will increase the risk of infection.
