What is a lash density treatment?

Lash density is a permanent makeup treatment that involves using a new micro-shading technique to intensify the lash line for the appearance of fuller looking lashes with no mascara or lash extensions. The treatment involves using a manual, hand-held microblading tool to allow for absolute precision when working in this delicate area. Using a micro-shading technique that involves ‘push and flick’ motions, pigment is implanted along the upper lash line and diffused between every natural hair. This not only enhances the eye shape, but it also creates the illusion of thicker and fuller eyelashes.

Does lash density look natural?

Yes, lash density treatments help to give the illusion of fuller lashes but with a natural looking finish.

"I’ve been so excited about this new treatment; it really is the epitome of natural looking permanent makeup,”

says Karen Betts, Nouveau Beauty CEO and permanent makeup pioneer.

"Unfortunately, I think there’s still a misconception around PMU; people still think back to 90s lip and eyeliner, but this treatment goes a long way in demonstrating just how natural PMU can look, and how effective it can be at enhancing what’s already there”

How long does lash density last?

On average, the results of a lash density treatment will last for 12 months. This is because the pigment is implanted very softly into this delicate area. As with any other microblading or permanent makeup treatment, how long the results will last can depend on several factors, including skin type, skincare routine, following correct aftercare, etc.

Who is a lash density treatment suitable for?

Lash density is an ideal permanent makeup treatment for clients who like a minimal makeup or have sparse, light lashes but still want more defined eyes and fuller looking lashes. It’s also great for clients that love to wear a subtle eyeliner but maybe struggle to keep a slim line.

"Lash density is the perfect eye enhancing treatment and this subtle eye defining technique is exactly what PMU is about; enhancing natural features to give people the power to feel confident in their own skin,”

Karen Betts explains.

Does lash density work with other treatments?

Clients should always wait for the treatment to be completely healed before having any other treatments, but there are a number of professional treatments that you probably already offer that really help to complement the results.

Lash density and lash lift

Lash density helps to create a beautifully fuller looking lash line, so why not take it one step further with longer, fuller looking lash hairs too? A lash lift will enhance the natural lashes with volume and lift that lasts for up to eight weeks.

Lash density and brow treatments

Is there anything more satisfying than seeing the results of a beautiful brow and lash treatment together? For clients looking to streamline their makeup routine, a brow treatment is the perfect complement to lash density. A microblading or permanent makeup brow treatment would ideal, but you could always opt for a brow treatment such as HD Brows or brow lamination for trend-led clients that like to regularly switch up their looks.

“Brows really do change your face; they add definition and can really pull a whole look together,”

shares Jamie Long, Lead Brow Stylist at HD Brows.

"“I love HD Brows because it is a completely bespoke treatment – I won’t let a brow stencil near someone’s face. You really can’t beat a good brow and defined eye combo to frame the face.”
