Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Permanent make-up
What is Conture ® Make-up?
Conture ® Make-up is a "permanent make-up". Using special medical device, inorganic color, predominantly made of minerals, is entered under the skin. Thus, thin eyebrows become more dense, small eyes become more prominent and lips fuller and more beautiful. During the Conture ® Make-up treatments the color is precisely implanted underneath the top layer of skin, without swelling or side effects. Pigments are antiseptic, anti-allergic and in accordance with European Medical devices Directive. The treatment itself can only be performed by trained and authorized linergist.

How long do Xtreme Lashes® Last?
This is a short question that requires long answer. Xtreme Lashes are permanent eyelashes that last indefinitely with touch ups done every 2 to 4 weeks. If Xtreme Lashes applied only once, without touch up done, permanent lash will fall out with the natural lash it is attached to when it reaches the end of its growth cycle. Durability also depends on the speed of growth of natural eyelashes. After 2 to 3 months, all extensions fall out together with the natural lashes and the new lashes have grown. Without touch ups done, the eyelashes will appear less thick, depending on the number of lashes being applied. For better understanding we will give you the example of nail extensions. How long does the nail extensions last without touch ups done? After a while, nails do not look neat any more! The same goes for Xtreme Lashes.
Do Xtreme Lashes® damage natural lashes?
No! Xtreme Lashes® are applied one by one directly to your individual eyelashes. Xtreme Lashes protect your natural lashes and do not damage them. With touch ups regularly done (every 2 to 4 weeks) you will have permanently beautiful lashes. Only incorrectly applied eyelashes damage your natural ones. It is therefore very important to visit licensed salons and take care about lash stylist. Xtreme Lashes application is impossible without adequate education.
How do I prepare for Xtreme Lashes?
Come to Xtreme Lashes treatment without mascara, make-up and with clean eyelashes. The day before the application you may not use lash curler. Before the treatment you need to remove the lenses.
What happens during the Xtreme Lashes treatment?
Depending on the number of lashes being applied, it generally takes between 60 to 120 minutes to do the treatment. Treatment is often called beauty sleep, because it is painless and relaxing.
Can I apply mascara to Xtreme Lashes®?
After Xtreme Lashes® being applied you need no mascara. However, if you must have the mascara look, only Xtreme Lashes® mascara can be used. Only in that way we can guarantee durability of Xtreme Lashes. Do not use water-proof mascara or oil-based make up remover. Waterproof mascara along with any type of oil based product will dissolve the adhesive and cause your Xtreme Lashes® to fall off.

Tattoo removal
How are tattoos removed?
Laser is currently the only way that can permanently remove a tattoo. Depending on the tattoos, different types of lasers are used. In our salon we work with Nd Yag laser that predominantly removes black, green and blue pigments. The treatment has almost no side effects. Depending on the threshold of sensitivity it is almost painless, and provides excellent results.
How the laser treatment works?
During tattooing pigment is being implanted under the skin. Tattoo pigment particles are too big, what makes absorption impossible. Using the extreme power of light, the laser burns pigment in a millisecond. Because of the very short exposure to the light, skin remains unharmed. Pigment fragments into smaller pieces which are then removed by normal body processes. The broken-down ink is then absorbed by the body. When removed in that way, pigment moves from downer to upper layers of skin. That is why tattoo is removed more and more with each treatment.
Which tattoos are removed best?
If when choosing tattoo you are already thinking about the best way to remove it, it is better to give up the idea. A tattoo is a lifetime decision. Removal is long and expensive, and success is not always guaranteed. The best results show a black and blue pigment. White, yellow and red are more challenging to treat. The treatment may result in pigment changes.
How long does tattoo removal last?
In order to remove a tattoo, you will need multiple treatment sessions. The number of treatments depends on the tattoo size, location and pigment.
Common tattoos are easier to remove than professional ones. Common tattoos disappear after 3 to 6 treatments, while the professional ones require 10 or more treatments.
How much does the treatment cost?
Depending on the tattoo size, prices range from 50 to 300 euros. Tip: take care of cheap treatments, because the price also depends on technical strength of the device.
Is the laser treatment painful?
Laser treatment is actually less painful than tattooing itself. It feels like a slight pinprick. After treatment, the skin is irritated and it is possible to feel a tingling sensation. A cold compress helps.
What happens to the skin after laser treatment?
After the treatment the skin is irritated. Be careful when taking shower. Swimming and sauna are not allowed. Treated part of the body should be treated as a wound or injury. Redness and sometimes bubbles and lymph can occur in the first few days after the treatment. A scab will appear and it should not be removed prematurely. Redness remains few weeks after the scab has fallen off. During that time skin is very sensitive. Avoid anything that may cause irritation, especially the sun, or if you have to stay in the sun, use a strong protective factor. Next treatment is recommended only when redness withdraws completely.
Which side effects may occur?
The treated area of skin can temporarily become darker. In rare cases, mild depigmentation may occur in the place where tattoo was. It is possible that some pigments change color during the laser treatment, especially when treating permanent make-up around the lips. Allergic reactions are very rare. Infection may result in scaring. In order to prevent this use proper disinfectant and antibacterial creams and take good care.
Nail extensions
Artificial nails are harmful, because the nail can not breathe?
Fact: As we know, in blood there is oxygen, and nail is fed through the capillaries, which are located in the nail bed, which is why the nail plate appears pink.
Nail plate does not breathe itself! That is superstition that dates from the 20th century, due to which polish had not been to applied to the nail plate moon. The nail is made of keratin which represents corneous like coat, like hair, that does not breathe. The nail is fed through nail root, blood and cuticle. Professionally done extension or natural nail strengthening are completely safe for natural nails!
Natural nails are getting thinner?
Fact: It is true that the nails are softer after removing extensions. Keratin must harden, and this is caused by oxidation, so your nails need few days to strengthen. We must not forget that an extension is approximately 60 times thicker than natural nail. That is why after removing extensions we have subjective feeling that the natural nails are thin. It is very important that the extension removing is done by professional staff which has adequate training and knowledge of nail anatomy.
Gel burns the nail?
Fact: It is a fallacy that a natural nail inflammation can be caused during the treatment. So called photoinitiator is contained in the gel. Combined with UV light, creates a thermal reaction which triggers photoinitiator, and thus leads to warming that causes a sensation of heat. The intensity of heat depends on the amount of gel and nail sensitivity.
