Semi Permanent Eyelash Extensions- Before & After
Bigger, lushes lashes!
Take a peek at our picture below, showing you the before and after shot of our model's eyelashes with the semi permanent eyelash extensions application from Mirage Med Spa.
These lash extensions are very delicate, but if treated properly, they can last up to 4 weeks!
Lash extensions are perfect for any occasion- wedding, prom, vacation time, or for daily wear around the house & at work!
There is little maintenance that comes along with these lashes, although you must be very gentle when it comes time to removing your eye makeup.
Here's a little tip- when you are about to remove any makeup from the eyelid, use a q-tip, especially when removing eyeliner that is close to your semi-permanent lashes. Try to avoid using any makeup remover than contains oils, as this could loosen the lashes causing them to separate from your natural lash.
If you find a lash has unglued itself from your natural lash, DO NOT pull at it, as this can cause the neighbouring lashes to pop off.

Laser Hair Removal
Palomar Starlux 500
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Laser Hair Removal
Mirage uses the Palomar Starlux 500 Series. The worlds most advanced and versatile laser and IPL platform. Advanced contact cooling technology keeps epidermal temperature lower to reduce discomfort and minimize skin damage
The demand for intense pulsed light (IPL) hair removal and laser hair removal treatments are at an all-time high. This is not surprising, considering that traditional hair removal via electrolysis and waxing is painful and expensive. Light-based hair removal permanently reduces unwanted facial and body hair, in fewer treatments and with more comfort than is possible with traditional procedures.

The demand for intense pulsed light (IPL) hair removal and laser hair removal treatments are at an all-time high. This is not surprising, considering that traditional hair removal via electrolysis and waxing is painful and expensive. Light-based hair removal permanently reduces unwanted facial and body hair, in fewer treatments and with more comfort than is possible with traditional procedures.
In the 1990s, Palomar® pioneered permanent hair reduction after receiving the first FDA clearance for this procedure. Since then, Palomar lasers have been the industry standard that all others have been compared to, and validated by Palomar's strong patent position. Lasers, although clinically effective, have skin limitations regarding skin color, hair color and hair thickness. Subsequent new technology developments from Palomar led to new, groundbreaking pulsed light technology that improved clinical outcomes over a broader client base.
Our IPL technology delivers specific wavelengths, with large spot sizes, superior contact cooling and smooth pulse technology for clients of all skin types, hair colors and finer hair. Palomar's pioneering, patented technologies have established the StarLux platform for hair removal treatments as the most versitile, effective and profitable device available.
We put our industry-leading research and development efforts behind the perfection of the procedure. Palomar's pulsed light handpieces are clinically proven to produce results as good as or better than those of gold-standard lasers in removing unwanted hair from all areas of the body including the face, back, chest, leg, bikini line and underarm areas - with greater comfort and less down time.
Our IPL and laser hair removal equipment make it easy for you to offer IPL and laser hair removal treatments for any skin type - including dark skin - in comfortable, cost-effective treatments with minimal risk and downtime.
How IPL and Laser Hair Removal Treatments Work
Highly targeted pulsed-light or laser technology destroys the structures that grow new hair, while our Advanced Contact Cooling technology promotes client comfort.
