Today I met up with Aura and Kim and we got eyelash perm. Yup, an EYELASH perm! I just heard of such a treatment, but apparently it’s quite common, like eyelash coloring. Just like a normal perm, it curls your eyelashes permanently. They used some sticky tiny tubes and each eyelash was carefully arranged on it .It will last about 2-3 months, because that’s the life cycle of an eyelash.
For the first time in my life I have curly eyelashes without the use of curlers or mascara and it even lasts after a shower or swim!Haha… Check out these pics for the “before” and “after”:
“Longer, thicker lashes are an ubiquitous sign of beauty. Eyelash transplantation does for the eyes what breast augmentation does for the figure,” said Dr Alan Bauman, a leading proponent of eyelash transplants.
Under the procedure, a small incision is made at the back of the scalp to remove 30 or 40 hair follicles which are carefully sewn one by one onto the patient’s eyelids. Only light sedation and local anesthetics are used and the cost is around $3,000 an eye.
“Longer, thicker lashes are an ubiquitous sign of beauty. Eyelash transplantation does for the eyes what breast augmentation does for the figure,” said Dr Alan Bauman, a leading proponent of eyelash transplants.
“This is a brand new procedure for the general public (and) it is going to explode,” Bauman told Reuters during what was billed as the world’s first live eyelash surgery workshop for about 40 surgeons from around the world.”
Is that something you are willing to try? I will stick to my natural eyelashes…a little improved:D

It is amazing what the eyelash perms will do. They look great! Many patients who have had eyelash transplants use eyelash perms to curl their transplanted lashes. This is especially helpful if they have very straight scalp-hair. For more info on eyelash transplantation procedure, plus photos and video, visit http://www.eyelash-transplant.com

Did that really last you 2-3 months?

I am thinking about getting this too, but I don’t know if my eyes aren’t too sensitive…?!
