All about eyelash collagen

The negative impact of various environmental factors and age-related changes lead to the leaching of an important compound from the body - collagen. As a result, eyelashes can be damaged. In this case, they become dull and brittle. If you do not take timely measures to "rehabilitate" them, the hairs will begin to fall out profusely. To prevent such consequences, eyelash collagen was developed by cosmetologists. We will tell you what it is, what advantages and disadvantages this procedure has and how to perform it yourself at home.

The color saturation of the eyelashes, the rate of their renewal and fragility are directly dependent on the production of a building protein called collagen. It stimulates the function of cell repair, and also promotes the connection between the hair scales. If there is enough building protein, an invisible shell forms on the surface of the cilia, which protects them from various pollution, ultraviolet radiation, frost and other negative environmental influences... As a result, the hairs on the upper eyelids acquire shine, strength, elasticity. They look fluffy and shiny.

However, with age, the amount of collagen decreases significantly, which is why the hairs that frame the eyes become dull and lose vitality over time. Do not despair and think that the health and beauty of eyelashes cannot be returned.

The procedure involves the use of preparations saturated with collagen and other nutrients. They contribute to the restoration of the structure of the hairs, their strengthening and active growth. Due to the content of collagen in such products, a protective barrier is formed, which gives the hairs density, natural healthy shine and smoothness.

Age is not the only reason why the building protein is produced slowly or quickly washed out of the body. This is often caused by stress, poor environment, unbalanced diet, leading to a lack of important vitamins and minerals... In these cases, eyelashes also suffer - they often begin to fall out profusely, grow poorly and break. Collagenation is indicated in such situations.

And also it is recommended to resort to it:

• if necessary, restoration of eyelashes after their extension or modeling;
• with hypovitaminosis;
• with a lack of moisture;
• with weakening and thinning of eyelashes in the case of perm (and other cosmetic procedures involving the use of harmful, aggressive compounds);
• to improve the condition and appearance of eyelashes (increase their length, volume and degree of bending).

Collagenation is considered safe procedurehowever, it may not be for everyone. The technique has its advantages and disadvantages, which should be familiarized with in advance - before using it.

Collagenizing eyelashes is a safe procedure with many advantages:

• a noticeable effect, visible already after the first procedure of using collagen-based preparations: eyelashes acquire shine, graceful bend, their abundant loss stops;
• the hairs become thicker and denser, due to which the decorative ink is applied more evenly, and the cilia do not stick together;
• after the procedure, it is allowed to sleep in a comfortable position, even on the stomach, which, for example, cannot be done after lamination of eyelashes;
• a day after the manipulations made, you can use decorative cosmetics;
• after 2 days, it is allowed to visit sea beaches, saunas, baths and other institutions with high humidity.

Before signing up for eyelash collagenization, you should find out who may be harmed by this procedure. The technique is contraindicated in some cases.

1. Various diseases of the organs of vision. These include infectious diseases, barley, high eye irritability, redness, increased lacrimation.
2. Collagenation is not allowed during pregnancy and lactation.
3. With hormonal disruptions and disorders in the endocrine system.
4. With human intolerance to collagen, as well as in case of allergic reactions to one or more components that make up the drugs used during the procedure.

It is advisable to saturate only thinned and weakened hairs with collagen. It is better to refuse the procedure for people with healthy eyelashes. Otherwise, a build-up protein oversaturation can occur, which can cause hairs to become excessively dry and brittle. In order not to harm, it is recommended to resort to the procedure only to those who really need it.

Corduroy and eyelash collagen are two innovative treatments aimed at improving eyelid hairs. Both techniques are painless, have a minimum of contraindications. The result of these procedures is similar: the eyelashes become moisturized, nourished with useful substances, as a result of which their structure is restored, and growth is improved. There is some difference between these techniques.

First of all, these are the compositions... With velveteen, keratin-based preparations are used. They also contain various vitamins and collagen derived from seaweed. Collagenation of eyelashes is not done on the lower eyelids, as opposed to corduroy. Otherwise, these are two procedures that are similar in principle of action and in technology.

For collagenizing eyelashes, special kits are sold, in which the necessary funds have already been selected. As a rule, these are the following types of drugs:

• Soften - an activator that stimulates the accelerated penetration of nutrients into the hairs;
• Fixer - a tool that helps to thicken the eyelashes (it also makes it possible for the building protein to penetrate deep into the cells);
• Conditioner - fixing base.

These preparations do not contain synthetic components and chemically aggressive substances.

You can collagen eyelashes both in the salon with a professional master, and at home. In the second case, you will be able to save money, but you will have to spend more time. The procedure, performed by an experienced beautician, generally takes about 1-1.5 hours. Next, we will tell you what you need to self-saturate the hairs with collagen.

When performing collagenization, you cannot do without special tools. You should have the following on hand:

• silicone roller (can be of different sizes: for short or long hairs, as well as for medium-length eyelashes);
• protective pads designed to prevent the penetration of funds on the area around the eyes;
• cotton swabs to remove the remnants of the compounds;
• a brush for applying a dye;
• tweezers for separating hairs.

In addition to the drugs included in the standard kits, you may need makeup remover.

Before proceeding with the procedure, you should carefully prepare. For this make-up and traces of natural impurities are removed from the face... After that, the eyelashes need to be given some time to dry completely.

Next, a protective pad is applied to the skin next to the eye area, and on the movable eyelid the silicone roller is fixed. You need to carefully glue the eyelashes on it, using a safe adhesive composition. This completes the preparation - you can proceed to the next stage.

On eyelashes with a brush the activator composition is applied... It is designed to open the flakes for better penetration of subsequently applied substances. The product is kept on the hairs for no more than 5 minutes, after which its remnants are removed with a cotton swab.

Further dye is applied to the eyelashes... For these purposes, only natural pigments are used. They will give the hairs shine, visual density and splendor. After an exposure of 10 minutes, collagen is applied, which is removed with a cotton swab (the duration of exposure is indicated by the manufacturer in the instructions for the product).

The final stage - finishing composition... It has two important functions: it facilitates faster and easier detachment of the eyelashes from the roller, and also "seals" the building protein and keratin.

If the eyelashes have been badly damaged, application of a nourishing serum is recommended... It additionally moisturizes each hair and creates a shell on its surface, which is able to preserve nutrient components in the cells for a long time.

After collagenation some restrictions must be adhered to... For example, on the first day it is not recommended to wet your eyes, use decorative or caring cosmetics. For 48 hours it is worth refusing to visit the pools, steam rooms. After a day, you can use mascara, apply various strengthening or nourishing compositions to the eyelashes.

The effect after collagenation lasts 2-3 months... The hairs that grow back on the eyelids will be slightly different in color.In addition, there will be no bend on them. Due to the renewal of the eyelashes, over time, they will look sloppy, which will require you to resort to collagen again. Due to the fact that the procedure is considered gentle, it can be done once every 3 weeks.

The collagen result is impressive. Numerous photographs of women prove that the procedure is really effective. For 1 session, the eyelashes are saturated with healing substances, due to which their appearance and condition visually improve. Due to the use of natural coloring pigments, the hairs become darker by several tones, due to which many, after collagenization, refuse to use decorative mascara. Photos before and after the procedure make it possible to clearly see what changes occur with the hairs that frame the eyes.

Eyelash collagen already has its own army of fans. Although the method of hair restoration is young, it has managed to attract thousands of women. On the network, they leave mostly positive feedback about it. According to the clients, the procedure:

• gives instant results;
• painless and comfortable;
• helps to strengthen and improve eyelashes;
• has no negative reactions and consequences.
