Lash enhancement — or lash liner — places pigment between the roots of the lashes, right at the edge of the lid. No visible line: the lash line simply looks fuller and darker, and the eyes gain depth. It is the most natural option, the one no one can spot.

A drawn eyeliner extends that line into a definite stroke, thicker or finer, with or without a flick at the outer corner. Thickness and angle are worked out according to the shape of the lid: a line that lifts slightly opens the eye and corrects a drooping lid.

The two can be combined, and nothing forces a decision straight away: you can start with lash enhancement, then thicken it at the touch-up if you want to go further. Adding is always easier than taking away.

Eye pigmentation gently implants medical pigments into the dermis using very fine, sterile, single-use needles. The pigments meet European standards and are mineral-based, with no risk of allergy.

The line is first drawn on with a pencil, with the eye open and then closed, so we agree on the shape before starting. The session takes place with the eye closed, under impeccably aseptic conditions: at no point does the needle come into contact with the eyeball. The treatment can feel uncomfortable, but it is never painful. Photographs are taken before and after, and the result is immediate.

Slight swelling of the lid is common and settles within 24 to 48 hours. During the first week the line looks darker and thicker than it will be, then fine flakes lift away: the shade lightens within 15 days and settles within a month. That is the ideal moment for the touch-up.

While the skin heals, avoid eye makeup, swimming pools, saunas and sunbathing. Lash extensions must be removed before the session and can be put back once the skin has fully closed.
