What Exactly Is InLei® Lash Filler?

Frequently Asked Questions About InLei® Lash Filler: Answering Your Questions

InLei® Lash Filler is a revolutionary treatment in the lash industry that has been gaining traction since it launched in 2018. As a newer development in the lash lift world, we’re answering the most frequently asked questions about Lash Filler to provide you with all the knowledge you need.

1. What Exactly Is a Lash Filler?

Lash Filler is a specialised treatment designed to enhance the natural lashes by infusing them with a unique formula. Much like a lash lift or lash perm, this treatment creates a lift in the natural lashes. However, InLei® Lash Filler also nourishes the lashes, promotes healthier growth and can increase lash thickness by up to 24% within three treatments. Understanding the science behind the formula can help Lash Technicians explain the benefits to clients.

2. How Long Does the Lash Filler Treatment Last?

It is essential to help clients understand what to expect. While lash lifts can last between six and eight weeks, factors such as the client’s natural eyelash growth cycle, lifestyle and aftercare can influence how long the results last.

Regular touch-ups can help maintain the desired look, but clients should always be advised to wait at least six to eight weeks between treatments.

3. Is the Procedure Painful for Clients?

Client comfort is paramount. While the Lash Filler procedure is painless, some clients may experience slight discomfort from the lash shield. Communicate with clients throughout the procedure to ensure they remain relaxed and comfortable, making adjustments where necessary.

4. Are There Any Side Effects?

While side effects are rare, you should always be prepared to address minor issues such as temporary redness or itching. Always conduct a patch test 24–48 hours before treatment to check for any allergic reactions.

5. Can Clients Wear Mascara After Lash Filler?

Lash Filler will often reduce the need for mascara, but some clients may still wish to use it. Advise clients to wait at least 24 hours after treatment and recommend gentle, water-based mascaras such as InLei® Fashion Lash.

This mascara is fully compatible with the treatment and continues to nourish the eyelashes.

6. How Should Lash Technicians Advise Clients on Aftercare?

Proper eyelash lift aftercare can significantly affect the longevity of the treatment. Provide clients with clear instructions, such as avoiding water and steam for the first 24 hours and avoiding oil-based eye products or makeup.

It is also a good idea to recommend a lash serum to keep your clients’ natural lashes nourished after their appointment.

7. Are There Clients for Whom Lash Filler Might Not Be Suitable?

While InLei® Lash Filler is a versatile treatment, certain situations, such as chemotherapy or pregnancy, may make it unsuitable. Always conduct a thorough consultation to assess each client’s suitability and patch test new clients.

8. How Is Lash Filler Different From a Lash Lift?

Both treatments enhance the natural lashes, but their formulations and benefits differ. Lash lifts focus primarily on curling the lashes, while InLei® Lash Filler adds volume and fullness, creates a beautiful curl and helps nourish the natural lashes. It is a comprehensive lash lift treatment.

9. Can Clients Use Lash Serums After a Lash Filler Treatment?

Yes, but Lash Technicians should be aware of the products their clients are using. While lash serums can complement the effects of Lash Filler, it is essential to ensure product compatibility to avoid adverse reactions.

Always recommend a peptide-based lash serum rather than a hormone-based serum, as hormone-based products may cause hair growth beneath the eyelid, hyperpigmentation and hormonal changes. Read this article for more information.

10. How Often Should Lash Technicians Recommend Lash Filler?

While the effects can last up to eight weeks, it is important to give the lashes a break between treatments. Clients should ideally wait at least six weeks between appointments to help maintain the health of their natural lashes.

Between treatments, clients can use an InLei® lash serum or mascara to complement their look and support ongoing lash health.
