If your gel gets damaged or you decide you do not want to continue with Bio Sculpture Gel, please return to the salon to have the Gel professionally removed so as not to damage your natural nail

WAXING AFTERCARE ADVICE  Please   follow   the   guidelines   below   to   ensure   your   skin   is   cared   for   properly over the next few days.    Please   note:    some   slight   soreness,   small   bumps   and   redness   are   common and   perfectly   normal   temporary   reactions,   particularly   if   this   is   your   first   wax.     These    symptoms    should    subside    over    the    next    24-48    hours.        If    you experience   persistent   redness   or   irritation,   or   if   you   have   any   questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.   Keep   the   waxed   area   clean,   and   avoid   heat   and   friction   during   the   next   24-48 hours.  This means:   • No hot baths or showers (cool to lukewarm water only). • No saunas, hot tubs or steam treatments. • No tanning (sunbathing, sunbeds or fake tans). • No sport, gym work or other exercise. • Avoid scratching or touching the treated area with unwashed hands. • Wear clean, loose fitting clothes. • Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools. • Do    not    apply    deodorants,    body    sprays,    powders,    lotions    or    other products    to    the    area,    other    than    those    recommended    by    your therapist. • To    soothe    and    protect    the    skin,    apply    an    antiseptic    cream    to    the waxed   area   regularly   for   3   days   following   your   treatment.      Always wash your hands before applying any product.   To    prevent    ingrown    hairs:     starting    a    few    days    after    your    appointment, gently   scrub   the   skin   3   times   a   week   in   the   bath   or   shower   using   a   loofah   or ex-foliating   mitt.     Also   moisturise   the   area   every   day,   which   will   keep   the   skin supple and help new hairs to grow through normally. LVL LASHES AFTERCARE ADVICE One   of   the   biggest   appeals   of   LVL   is   that   is   requires   little   to   no   upkeep. However,   the   first   48   hours   post-treatment   do   require   a   little   bit   of   TLC   and special   attention,   to   ensure   you   get   the   maximum   results   from   your   lashes. Following   the   correct   aftercare   is   important,   as   your   lashes   are   still   getting used   to   their   new   shape,   and   failure   to   do   so   could   lead   to   an   adverse reaction.   Showers, Saunas and Sunbeds   After   this   time   period   you   can   shower,   but   avoid   submerging   your   head   and face   fully   in   the   bath   or   directly   under   the   shower   head.   Completely   avoid visiting   saunas,   steam   rooms,   swimming   pools   and   sunbeds   for   48   hours post   treatment.   The   high   temperature   can   cause   your   lashes   to   drop,   or   not last as long as they should, which is between 6 and 8 weeks.   Manipulating the Lashes   As   difficult   as   it   can   be   sometimes,   try   to   avoid   touching   or   rubbing   your   eye area,    especially    when    you    are    washing    or    cleansing    your    face.    Eyelash curlers   and   perming   equipment   are   also   completely   out   of   bounds,   although once   you   see   the   results   of   your   long,   lifted   natural   lashes   you   will   want   to toss them in the bin anyway!   Pillow Talk   Another   thing   to   consider   is   how   you   sleep.   Facing   down   into   the   pillow,   or sleeping   on   one   side   could   manipulate   the   shape   of   your   lashes   into   different positions.   If   this   sounds   like   you,   try   propping   up   your   head   with   pillows,   and making an effect to fall asleep on your back.   Make-Up and Maintenance   An   LVL   treatment   includes   a   tinting   stage,   which   helps   to   lengthen   and   create a   thicker   appearance   in   your   natural   lashes   without   the   need   for   mascara. However,   if   you   still   choose   to   wear   mascara,   try   and   use   one   with   a   water- based   formula,   and   avoid   waterproof   varieties.   We   also   recommend   to   avoid all   oil-based   products,   especially   make-up   remover.   Remember   to   brush   your lashes   through   with   a   clean   mascara   wand   after   getting   them   wet   to   ensure they dry naturally in their correct shape.   As   well   as   following   the   tips   we   have   shared   above,   we   also   suggest   applying our   Lash   and   Brow   Conditioning   Serum   as   part   of   your   morning   and   evening skincare   regimen.   The   new   formula   is   packed   full   of   nourishing   goodness which    promotes    strong    and    healthy    lashes,    and    even    acts    as    a    primer beneath your mascara.

NAIL AFTERCARE ADVICE  Your Bio Sculpture Gel manicure will last approx. 2-3 weeks but this does depend on individuals as everyone’s nails are different. In order to maintain your high gloss shine and preserve your gels the following should be followed: • After one week the top coat will need to be removed using Dual Cleanse or a non acetone nail polish remover and replaced with a fresh layer of top coat and apply cuticle oil and massage in • This then needs to repeated after week two and three • If your nails have hairline cracks, this will be caused by the top coat, so follow the instructions above Advice / Recommendations • Oil based products and strong detergents can cause gel to lift, so gloves should ALWAYS be worn when cleaning/washing up and gardening. • Swimming – Chlorine is a strong chemical that can cause the gel to lift, hands should be thoroughly washed immediately after swimming and Top Coat should be replaced more regularly. • After applying sun tan lotions and other moisturisers wash hands thoroughly. • Do not bite or pick at the gel as this caused damage to the natural nail and can weaken it. It is recommended that Bio Sculpture products are used for all of the above and it is at your own risk if other brands are used, any Bio Sculpture products are available upon request.
