If you’ve ever wished for longer and fuller lashes, you may have considered trying an eyelash enhancement serum. These serums claim to promote lash growth, resulting in thicker and more voluminous lashes. But do they really work?
In summary, yes, eyelash enhancement serums can be highly effective BUT it is important to realise that they’re not all the same. There’s a great deal of difference between the types of products you can find on the high street and incorporated in your mascara compared to prescription-only products available from skin treatment clinics such as Mulberry House Clinic.
Prescription eyelash enhancement serum vs high street products
Prescription eyelash enhancement serums often offer several advantages over high street products:
- Active Ingredients:
- Higher potency: Prescription serums typically contain a higher concentration of active ingredients, like bimatoprost, which can lead to more noticeable results. When applied to the lash line, these ingredients can stimulate hair follicles, causing them to grow longer and thicker.
- Targeted formula: They are specifically formulated to stimulate hair follicles and promote lash growth, rather than being part of a multi-purpose beauty product.
- Clinical Research:
- Proven efficacy: Prescription serums are often backed by extensive clinical research and have been shown to be effective in promoting lash growth.
- Safety and efficacy: They are approved by regulatory bodies, ensuring their safety and effectiveness.
- Customised Treatment:
- Individual needs: A healthcare professional can assess your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate prescription serum.
- Professional guidance: They can provide guidance on application, potential side effects, and expected results.
- Long-Term Results:
- Sustained growth: Prescription serums often offer more sustained lash growth compared to some high street products.
- Longevity: They can help you maintain longer, thicker lashes over a longer period.
- Natural Look:
- Thickening mascaras can help to flatter the eyes, but they can also clump if over-applied or run in the rain or when swimming. With eyelash enhancement serum, the only thing you’ll notice is thicker fuller lashes.
- Whenever you do wear mascara, you’ll need less to highlight your lashes, keeping the natural look.
At Mulberry House Clinic, we understand the desire for beautiful lashes and have seen firsthand the popularity of eyelash enhancement serums. While results may vary from person to person, many of our clients have had success with these products.
Key Benefits of Eyelash Enhancement Serums
- Longer, thicker lashes:
With a daily application of a special serum, your natural eyelashes are nourished and stimulated to give better growth and retention. Many users report a noticeable increase in lash length and thickness after consistent use. - Fuller appearance:
Eyelash enhancement serums can give your lashes a fuller, more voluminous look. As this treatment works with your own natural eyelashes, it is very natural and flattering – making the most of your assets. - Enhanced definition:
Longer, thicker lashes can naturally define your eyes without the need for excessive mascara. Even without makeup, lashes look noticeably fuller.
At Mulberry House Clinic, we offer consultations for those interested in enhancing their lashes with serums or other treatments. Our experienced staff can help determine the best course of action for achieving your desired lash goals.
Eyelash Enhancement – Key Facts
- Existing lashes will last for longer before falling out and new lashes will also be stimulated. The eyelash hair’s natural growth cycle is extended
- This is a medical treatment which has prescription-only active ingredients, making it more effective than standard eyelash serums. It is not available on the high street or over the counter
- Daily application is required – we recommend at night, then you can wear makeup as normal in the day
- Expect real results within 1-2 months and the full effect at 3.4 months. The treatment is ideal for special occasions such as weddings or holidays. Just be sure to plan starting a few weeks before you need the result.
- Treatment must be continued to maintain the benefit, but may be less frequent (every other day) after the initial course
