Is It Safe to Get a Lash Lift During Pregnancy?

What you should know before booking

Lash lifting is, generally speaking, a topical treatment that works only on the eyelash itself, without contact with the skin elsewhere on the body. Even so, during pregnancy the skin and eyes can be more sensitive than usual, which is why the standard recommendation in the industry is to check with your gynaecologist or midwife first, especially during the first trimester.

What we do differently if you’re pregnant

• We always ask whether you’re pregnant before any facial or lash treatment.
• If you confirm you’re pregnant, we adjust the exposure time and always carry out a prior sensitivity patch test if it’s your first time with us.
• We pay extra attention to any sign of irritation during the appointment and adjust the treatment if needed.

Signs to watch for

If during pregnancy you notice your skin reacting differently to products you used to tolerate well, let us know before your appointment. Skin and eyes can be more sensitive at this stage, and we’d rather postpone or adapt the treatment than risk an uncomfortable reaction.

When in doubt, our recommendation is always the same: check with your midwife or gynaecologist first, and tell us about any sensitivity before we begin.

Our recommendation

If you have your doctor’s go-ahead and no history of sensitive skin or allergies to cosmetic products, there’s no reason to give up your moment of self-care. Message us before your appointment if you have any questions at all — we’d rather talk it through calmly beforehand than sort it out on the spot on treatment day.
