WHAT ARE LASH EXTENSIONS?
Lash Extensions are a revolutionary technique that enable any women to have thicker, longer, yet natural looking eyelashes that last. Each women who has them on will have beautiful full, black curly lashes that looks like they already have mascara on.
Eyelashes are made thicker and longer through professional application of an individual, synthetic eyelash that is glued (specially formulated bonding agent) on to your own lashes, lash by lash. This gives the finish an incredibly natural effect but with extra long luscious lashes. True eyelash extensions take anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours to apply a first time, full set.
LEA Lash artists use top-of-the-line equipment and cutting-edge techniques. They are skillful, dextrous, gentle and precise. When you have a “Lashing” with a LEA Lash artist, you know that your eyes are in safe hands.
With lash extensions on you can shower, swim, workout even do bikram yoga and they won’t come off! (trust me I have tried). With panda free eyes you can trust you will look good after a long day at work or even after a you work out. Lash extensions are perfect for anyone who leads an active lifestyle as it mean you will find you wear less makeup or none at all! The BEST part about it is no one will be able to tell if your lashes are real or not, only if you tell them of course.
All LEA Lash Artists have a background in elite make-up design and high-end styling. As well as transforming your eyes from plain to stunning, they can advise you on how to ramp-up your style, make the most of your figure, use make-up for maximum effect and make the latest fashion trends work for you.
So treat yourself to a “Lashing” with a LEA Lash Artist. A truly indulgent, memorable experience!

“NEW” Far Infrared Sauna

1. Effortlessly remove stored toxins and detox your body to look and feel younger
Scientific analysis shows infrared heat induced sweat contains 5-6 times more toxins, fat and impurities than normal sweat. Relax in the detox box and enjoy its unsurpassed ability to eliminate stored waste (metabolic wastes, environmental toxins, city pollution, fat, cholesterol, heavy metals, alcohol, nicotine - source: Zane R. Gard, MD & Erma J. Brown, BSN, PhN TLfDP, October 1992).
” … with the infrared sauna we are talking about reversing disease, getting rid of underlying causes and therefore getting rid of the symptoms once and for all. We are talking about restoring the body to a level of chemicals it had maybe 20-50 years ago.”
Detoxify or die, Sherry A Rogers M.D, Prestige publishing, 2002. ISBN 1 - 887202-04-8, p.227
Our body expends energy to produce sweat (1g sweat requires 0.586 kcal) meaning your body can safely burn up to 800 calories in just one 30-minute session; with sweat loss equivalent to running 10-15km. While this weight can be regained through drinking water, the calories consumed will not. A detox box session can also help to raise your basal metabolic rate meaning you will burn calories at an elevated rate for hours after your session has finished. At 42 degrees Celsius, body fat becomes water soluble and can be eliminated through sweating.
3. Reduced signs of aging - Beautiful youthful skin
The detox box’s deep acting infrared heat helps to develop and maintain the body’s capillary network. This increases the blood circulation especially to your skin’s surface. Together with infrared heat’s super cleansing effect, you will see a noticeable improvement in your skin’s texture, complexion and tone. It can also remove skin roughness; soothe damage from scaring and even help UV damage leaving your skin feeling baby smooth and soft. Prepare to glow!
Beauty specialists in Europe regularly incorporate daily sweat sessions in programmes specifically designed to reduce cellulite. Because the radiant heat warms three times as deeply as conventional saunas and aids in the break down and release of stored fat and toxins through the skin, it is significantly more effective at reducing cellulite and promoting smoother skin.
5. Exceptional natural pain relief
Detox box devotees attest to its amazing ability to reduce and even remove completely the pain associated with various muscle and joint problems; from poor sitting positions and over work to more chronic ailments such as osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia giving a safe, natural pain relief without medication. The detox box is prescribed by European medical professionals for treatment of these conditions.
6. A retreat to destress and relax
Stress and anxiety melt away in the soothing warmth and comfort of your private detox box. Your senses are further treated with sensual aromas, soothing colour therapy and relaxing music. Infrared therapy has been shown to promote a rebalancing of the body’s hormones through its effect on the autonomic nervous system, reducing the negative physical impact of stress on the body. A 25 minute session helps to truly rebalance both the mind and body.
7. Increased blood circulation that exercises and strengthens the cardiovascular system
As your body is warmed, the entire cardiovascular system is dilated to increase blood flow to the surface of the skin and the extremities in order to dissipate heat. This means your heart works harder pumping blood at a greater rate to boost circulation, supplying the conditioning benefits of continuous exercise. Heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate increase, while diastolic blood pressure drops, for improved overall cardiovascular fitness. A German study showed reduced blood pressure in patients with hypertension for at least 24 hours after infrared therapy.
8. Improved cell function and increased ATP production
Scientific research suggests that infrared therapy helps the body’s cells to work at a more optimal level, including greater efficiency of absorbing nutrients and removing wastes and producing more ATP - the cells source of energy. Healthy cells help make a healthy body!
9. Boosts moods and helps lift depression - five therapies in one
Full spectrum sunlight alone has been shown to have dramatic effects on lifting the winter blues, then add the radiant warmth of infrared heat, soothing choice of colour and aromas of the box, the total effect is a whole body experience. Each therapy working synergistically to effectively rebalance the body and enhance your mood. A session can offer a respite from the coldest, wettest and darkestMelbourne day.
10. Improves your immune system
The deep, radiant infrared heat raises your body temperature, inducing a type of artificial fever. As the body works to combat this “fever” your body’s immune system is stimulated and strengthened. Combined with the elimination of toxins and wastes produced by intense sweating your overall health and resistance to disease can be improved.
11. Unbeatable for Insomnia, jetlag and hangovers
Whether you are still on a different time zone, working too late or have overindulged with late night socializing, the detox box can quickly help get you back on track. Either before bed to promote deep, restful sleep, or after a big night out to help flush out the excesses of the night before. The sunlight function is safe and great before and after flying to combat jet lag
12. Promotes healing of sports injuries
Be it a sore back from golf, tired legs from cycling, or even damaged tendons and muscles from the rugby field. The detox box is highly effective in promoting the body’s natural healing processes. As proven over many decades by the sports medical profession. Infrared sauna therapy is used by theUS Olympic team and NASA.
13. Prevent injury through effective warm up
Before exercise or a massage simply get in the sauna with clothes on and wait until just before starting to sweat
” Tissues heated to 45°C and then stretched exhibit a non-elastic residual elongation of about 0.5-0.9% that persists after the stretch is removed, which does not occur in these same tissues at normal temperatures. Thus 20 stretching sessions can produce 10-18% increase in length of tissues so heated and stretched.”
Justus F Lehmann M.D., Williams and Wilkins, Therapeutic Heat and Cold, 4th edition.
Unlike a traditional sauna, the detox box is perfectly safe from childhood to advanced age. From hyperactive kids and stressed adults to the elderly the box presents a safe and effective treatment to promote enhanced wellbeing and quality of life.
15. Low comfortable temperature and effective in only 25 minutes
In just 30 minutes you will feel relaxed, rejuvenated, revitalized and rebalanced, having burned lots of calories in the pleasant heat of 32-48C.
