Professional silicone pads for lash lifting
The foundation of every successful lash lift rests on precision-engineered silicone pads designed to deliver predictable results across diverse client types. Professional pad technology goes beyond simple curvature.
Size-specific engineering
Four distinct pad sizes address every conceivable natural lash scenario. Super Small pads utilize the tightest curvature radius, creating maximum lift intensity for clients with 4-6mm natural lashes or those seeking dramatic transformation. The engineering principle is simple: smaller pad diameter creates more dramatic curl due to the acute angle relationship between natural lash and pad surface.
Small pads expand the dramatic lifting capability to accommodate 6-8mm natural lashes while maintaining the intensity clients associate with professional treatments. The curvature mathematics ensure visible transformation without over-processing that can damage lash structure.
Medium pads represent the most versatile option in professional inventories, handling 8-10mm natural lashes with balanced lift intensity. The engineering focuses on enhancing natural beauty without overwhelming facial features. This sizing accommodates the broadest client demographic while delivering consistently satisfying results.
Large pads accommodate longer natural lashes (10-14mm) with refined lifting that enhances without appearing artificial. Critical engineering consideration: oversized pads relative to natural lash length produce no lifting effect, making proper sizing analysis essential for treatment success.
Advanced material properties
Silicone construction ensures structural integrity throughout chemical exposure phases. The material withstands thioglycolate-based lifting formulations without degradation or chemical interaction that could affect treatment outcomes.
Pink pigmentation serves functional rather than aesthetic purposes, the coloring provides optimal contrast for precision lash positioning during application.
Alternative white pad formulations offer enhanced visibility for technicians requiring maximum contrast during detailed work phases.
Single-use engineering eliminates cross-contamination risks while ensuring consistent performance characteristics across all treatments. Each pad maintains identical curvature specifications regardless of treatment sequence or client characteristics.
