Lash Botox vs Lash Lift

Let’s talk lashes. The question we get asked all the time is, “What’s the deal with lash botox vs lash lift?” Short answer? They are not in competition. Long answer? Keep reading.

At RA’RA, we are all about enhancing your natural beauty in a way that feels good, looks fresh, and lasts. A lash lift is your go-to for that effortless curl and eye-opening boost. Think of it as the starting line. Then comes lash botox, the step up that drenches your lashes in a serum cocktail to thicken, lengthen and nourish. The bonus? It makes your lift results last longer and look even better.

Yes, Lash Botox can be done on its own or paired with just a tint. But honestly, when you add it to a lift, that is when the real glow-up happens. With honesty, zero jargon, and a little personality (obviously).

First Up: What Even Is A Lash Lift?

Think of a lash lift like a perm for your lashes. But make it cute. It gives your natural lashes a semi-permanent curl and lift that makes your eyes look more open and your lashes look longer. No falsies, no extensions, no fuss.

The lowdown:

  • We gently lift your lashes over a silicone shield

  • Apply a safe lifting solution to reshape them

  • Finish with a setting lotion to lock in that gorgeous curl

  • Add a tint for extra oomph (optional, but highly recommended)

Results last around 6-8 weeks, depending on your lash cycle and lifestyle. Wake up, roll out of bed, and boom. Your lashes are ready to go.

So What’s Lash Botox Then?

We know, “Botox” sounds intense. But relax, there are zero needles involved. Think of Lash Botox as an intensive lash serum infusion that soaks your lashes in all the good stuff: keratin, vitamins, amino acids, and nourishing oils. It works from the inside out to thicken, lengthen and seriously nourish your natural lashes.

It’s perfect if your lashes:

  • Are dry, brittle, or damaged from over-lifting or extensions

  • Need some TLC after a lash lift or tint

  • Just deserve a luxe little treat (because… why not?)

Lash Botox won’t curl your lashes, but it will leave them stronger, shinier, and more resilient. Basically, your lashes, but on their best behaviour.

You can also combine the two. And honestly, that’s where the magic happens. A lash lift + lash botox = dreamy curl with extra strength and shine. It’s like a lash makeover and rehab in one go.

How to Know What’s Best for You

Let’s keep it simple:

  • Go for a lash lift if you want that lifted, curled look without needing mascara or lash extensions.

  • Go for lash botox if you’re healing from extensions, over-lifting, or just want to nourish and repair your lashes.

  • Go for both if you want the best of both worlds - curl, strength, shine, and serious lash envy.

Not sure what your lashes need? That’s what we’re here for. At our beauty salon in Scarborough, we always start with a proper consultation. We look at your lash health, length, structure and goals, then recommend what’s going to work for you.

What About Lash Extensions?

Ah yes, the glam cousin. If you’re after instant drama, volume, and extra length, lash extensions are still a solid option. But they’re a little higher maintenance, and your natural lashes need to be in good shape to carry them well.

If you’ve been living in extensions and want to give your lashes a breather, a lash botox or lash lift is a beautiful way to ease back into your natural lashes without feeling like you’ve gone bare.
