A testimonial from a Mylash and Opti Laboratories customer
I have been using the MyLash treatment as often as I can for the last 13 years, and very recently started adding the Opti Laboratories Sun Protect Serum to my routine and I am thrilled with the results.
My journey to using MyLash involved several decades as a Trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling) sufferer, which for me played out mostly on my eyelashes. As someone who was born with dark brunette, thick eyelashes, I had done so much damage that parts of my eyelid had no lashes left at all.
Using MyLash not only helped me to grow back my lashes, but also to keep them, and over time they have restored back to nearly the strength they were pre-pulling. The only issue I had left was that the lashes didn’t grow in such a uniform “fan” shape. I used LVL treatments to give a better result here, but these treatments are drying, and whilst I would enjoy a few weeks of brilliant looking lashes, getting lots of comments, there would then follow weeks where the lashes looked dry and spindly. The Opti Laboratories serum has completely resolved this! The deeply conditioning qualities of the serum mean not only do the lashes stay hydrated and keep their form, the LVL effect lasts longer, I am still feeling the benefits of it 9 weeks after my last treatment.
The Opti Laboratories Serum also works wonderfully on brows, not only being a great residue-free brow gel but also having the same benefits– my brows are appearing fuller and darker after being over plucked in decades gone by!
I am so grateful to have these products – they are without question two of the best beauty products I have ever invested in in terms of results, you have to use them for them a few weeks, but the results from there are undeniable.
Sun damage is the primary cause of hair damage and breakage. Even modest prolonged exposure to UV rays can break down cross-linked bonds, keratin and other proteins, making hair dry and brittle, an effect that is most clearly seen on the hair of the head. The delicate hairs of the lash and brow are, however, equally susceptible to sun damage.
Opti Laboratories Sun Protect Serum has been developed by doctors to protect your lashes and brows from the harmful rays of the sun. It also conditions and contains anti-irritants and antioxidants, to keep your lashes soft and soothed.
With reduced damage and improved condition, your lashes will be healthier and better able to reach their natural growth potential.
This is what happens to your hair in the sun. These are samples of the same hair, one left bare and one treated with a generic lash serum. In the lower images, both samples have been exposed to UV for 8 hours.
The damage to both samples is clear; the surface of the hair looks frayed and distorted. The good news? We coated a further sample with Sun Protect Serum:
Wow, right? The Sun Protected sample is still as smooth as it was before UV exposure, with a marked difference to the other two samples.
These photos were taken as part of a longer scientific study into the impact of UV on hair and specifically the effectiveness of the Sun Protect Serum as a protective treatment.
Benzophenone-4 aka Sulisobenzone, a compound that reduces eyelash damage by absorbing, reflecting, and scattering UV rays.
Sun exposure breaks down protein in the hair, leading to breakage and shedding. Benzophenone-4 absorbs and dissipates UV rays from the sun to protect the hair from sun damage.
Caffeine, which enhances hair growth by promoting growth factors and prolonging the hair growth cycle.
Caffeine helps hair growth in two ways; it encourages the production of a growth promoting chemical called IGF-1 in the hair follicle and it lowers the production of another molecule called TGF-B which can shorten the hair growth cycle. Clinical studies show that the combined effect of caffeine promotes a longer hair cycle which leads to improved hair growth.
Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, a compound which works to increase the amount of keratin in the hair shaft, prolongs the growth cycle and reduces any localised inflammation of the area.
Additional studies show that Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 reduces the expression of chemicals that cause inflammation around the hair and preventing inflammation can help promote growth.
Ginseng encourages multiple growth pathways involved with the hair growth cycle and additionally prolongs the hair cycle length, promoting further hair growth.
Ginsenosides, the active compound, help growth directly in two ways. They activate growth pathways to increase the rate of growth to encourage bigger hairs. They also inhibit apoptosis, a process which signals the end of a growth cycle, and by inhibiting this a longer hair is encouraged. Ginseng also improves localised blood flow to support this increased hair growth.
Ginkgo biloba reduces inflammation around the hair follicle and is also an antioxidant. Both of these effects support and promote healthy hair growth.
Tocopheryl acetate (aka vitamin E acetate), an antioxidant that helps to mop up free radicals caused by UV light, stopping those free radicals from damaging the proteins in hair.
Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that can be caused in various ways such as UV light from the sun, pollution or inflammation. These reactive molecules can damage proteins which cause photoaging and other damage. Vitamin E acts to cancel out the effects of free radicals and other reactive molecules. Other studies suggest that vitamin E also activates pathways in the hair follicle to encourage natural hair growth.
