- FAQ – ABOUT TEETH WHITENING
Why should I get my teeth whitened?
Teeth whitening is one of the easiest ways to improve your appearance. Studies have shown that people who have whiter teeth not only look younger than people who don’t, but there is a correlation between high self esteem and a white, confident smile. Years of drinking coffee, tea, cola, red wine, and smoking eventually takes their toll on teeth. Our product and service is safe, simple, convenient, and more affordable than ever before.
How does the whitening process work?
Whitening Bright state of the art whitening light is engineered with the most powerful whitening LED technology. The reflector design around the LED’s provides maximum coverage simultaneously of both upper and lower teeth. The light will increase the oxidation process in our gel which releases more oxygen which accelerates the whitening process. Our light is specially designed to activate our whitening gel with its specifically tuned blue light wavelength.
What kind of whitening product do you use?
Whitening Bright specifically designed whitening gel is FDA approved and its active ingredient is 44% carbamide peroxide. Our custom formed whitening trays conform to the contour of your teeth to provide maximum whitening results. The molecules in the gel go into the tiny pores of the enamel and break up the stains.

- FAQ – ABOUT BODY WRAPS

Does a body wrap have to be a full wrap or I can have a partial wrap done for the area of my choice?
Because the body wrap is a cleansing process, although locally, it is recommended to do a full wrap. The whole body has to take a part in the cleansing rather than only a small area. For example you cannot wash only one cheek of the face and consider the whole face washed! You will not get the same results. Same principle applies here and you may get the results to a lesser extent and might lose them faster.

Yes, you can. However it is recommended that you use the machine that is helpful to keep blood actively circulating. It is very relaxing and pleasing activity.

Yes. It reduces the appearance of cellulite. Cellulite is a reflection of accumulated acid waste in the body. The wrap helps to mobilize the toxic waste thereby leading in reduction of its appearance. A few wraps done at shorter intervals may show a significant decrease.

It generally depends on how you treat your body. If you put back the toxins that you released during the wrap back in your system thru diet, drinking, smoking or through other environmental pollution, you will lose the results at the same pace. However, if you treat yourself well, then you only need to do some maintenance wraps in a year.

How long will a set of Eyelash Extensions or semi-permanent individual eyelashes last?
When applied properly, eyelash extensions will last the length of the natural growth cycle of your eyelashes. OUR Semi-Permanent individual lashes will last up-to 3 weeks. Everyone’s experience will differ based on day to day activities but over all touchups should only be required every 2 to 3 weeks. A special waterproof bonding agent is used. Glue does not contain any fumes or irritants and is long lasting.
How often should I get touch-ups?
We recommend getting a touch up every 2 to 3 weeks. If you wait too long your eyelash extensions will fall out and you will require a full set. Your natural eyelashes fall off every 45 – 60 days due to the natural growth cycle and are naturally replaced with the growth of a new eyelash. Other factors such as expsoure to steam or touching your eyes alot may cause the extensions to fall sooner. A touch up is needed to fill in any lashes that fallen. Touch ups average about 45 minutes.
Can I apply mascara to Eyelash Extensions?
Yes, even though mascara is not really required since the extensions actually give the illusion of wearing mascara it can be worn.. It must however only be water based mascara. DO NOT USE OIL-BASED OR WATER-PROOF MASCARA. Waterproof mascara or any type of oil based mascara can dissolve the bonding agent and shorten the life of your eyelash extensions causing them to fall sooner. Care also needs to be taken in washing off the mascara. Only use a water based eye makeup remover.
Can I swim, shower, exercise, or visit a spa while wearing Eyelash Extensions?
Yes. The bonding agent we use is waterproof and allows you to shower, swim, exercise etc. Special care is required but overall maintenance is low. We do recommend however that you do not wash your eye area for about 12- 24 hours after the eyelash application.
Can I use Eyelash Curlers with Eyelash Extensions?
We do not recommend using mechanical eyelash curlers on your eyelash extensions as these curlers will damage the extensions and possibly your own natural lashes. The extensions do have a natural curl but if more of a curl is required we recommend using a heated eyelash curler.
How do I take care of my new Eyelash Extensions?
- Do not get lashes wet for 12- 24 hours
- Avoid hot steam or sauna
- Avoid running water directly on your lashes
- Do not rub your eyes
- Only use water based mascara (optional)

If you go to a newly certified professional it may take up to 3 hours. You will lay comfortably on a massage or facial table with your eyes closed. The Eyelash professional will then apply an under eye gel pad to cover your lower lashes. Then the extensions will be applied to each individual eyelash on a hair by hair basis.
How do I choose the look I want?
Eyelash extensions and semi-permanent individual eyelashes are available in a number of lengths and thickness. We normally consult with you first to see what type of style you are interested in. We also determine what your lashes can hold in regards to size. Each person’s lashes will vary in strength and length. We take this into consideration when creating a look specifically for you and your occasion.
