Restoring Lash & Brow Health Through Every Stage
THE GROWTH PHASE™
The Growth Phase™ is a bespoke treatment journey created by Stephanie to revive lash and brow vitality from the inside out—especially during life’s hormonal transitions like perimenopause and menopause.
At The Ink & Lash Clinic, we understand that beauty isn’t just skin deep—it’s deeply personal. That’s why this program was designed to support women through these changes, helping restore strength, fullness, and confidence.
The program blends professional know-how, scientific understanding, and gentle daily care to help you rebuild strength, fullness, and confidence no matter where you are in your hormonal journey. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about feeling like yourself again.
WHY LASHES & BROWS CHANGE DURING MENOPAUSE
As women move through perimenopause and menopause, hormonal shifts can cause noticeable changes in hair growth, texture, and density. Here’s what’s happening under the bonnet:
Falling Estrogen & Progesterone. These hormones usually keep lashes and brows in their growth phase longer. When they drop off, the cycle shortens—leading to more shedding and slower regrowth.
Rise in Androgens. As estrogen levels fall, androgens (like testosterone) can shrink hair follicles, resulting in finer, weaker hair and sparser brows and lashes.
Other Factors. Stress, nutritional gaps, and certain medications can throw a spanner in the works, making regrowth even harder and leaving lashes and brows more fragile than ever.
The result? Lashes that fall out too quickly, brows that fade, and a noticeable loss of fullness that can leave you feeling a bit off.
HOW THE GROWTH PHASE™ WORKS
The Growth Phase™ isn’t a one-off treatment—it’s a tailored rehab journey designed to support and rejuvenate your natural lash and brow growth. Our approach includes:
Gentle Cleansing & Aftercare Routines. These help remove buildup, promote follicle health, and improve serum absorption.
Nourishing Serums & Treatments. We use professional-grade formulas that strengthen follicles and encourage regrowth.
Lifestyle Support. We offer guidance on stress, sleep, and nutrition—because healthy lashes start from within.
Cosmetic Solutions. Lash lifts, tints, and extensions that restore volume while your natural growth catches up.
Every plan is customised by Stephanie following a thorough consultation, ensuring each client receives care that’s safe, effective, and tailored to their unique needs.
The Growth Phase™
Advanced Brow Follicle Revival Program
The Growth Phase™ is a 12-week, follicle-focused brow restoration program designed to revive sparse, thinning, or dormant eyebrows by working at a cellular level – not by masking hair loss.
This program is ideal for brows affected by:
• Over-plucking or waxing
• Hormonal changes (post-pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause)
• Stress, illness, or medication
• Age-related follicle slowdown
• Poor regrowth after cosmetic tattooing
Rather than covering gaps, The Growth Phase™ focuses on re-educating the brow follicle environment to support healthier, longer-lasting growth.
The Science Behind The Growth Phase™
Healthy brow growth depends on cell communication within the follicle. When this communication weakens, hair enters a prolonged resting phase and regrowth slows or stops.
The Growth Phase™ utilises advanced bio-signalling technology, including:
Exosomes
Exosomes act as cellular messengers, carrying instructions between cells. Within the follicle environment, they help support:
• Cellular renewal
• Improved follicle signalling
• A healthier growth environment
Exosomes play a key role in helping dormant or weakened follicles become more responsive again.
Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as biological triggers. In brow treatments, they help:
• Support the hair growth cycle
• Strengthen the follicle structure
• Encourage healthier, thicker regrowth
Cytokines
Cytokines help regulate inflammation and repair within the skin and follicle environment. Balanced cytokine activity supports:
• Reduced follicle stress
• Improved skin and follicle health
• A more optimal environment for brow growth
Together, these components work synergistically to support the active (anagen) phase of hair growth and improve overall follicle performance.
What Is the 12-Week Growth Phase™ Program?
The Growth Phase™ is a structured, results-driven program combining in-clinic treatments with a targeted at-home protocol.
Step 1: Initial Brow Assessment. Your journey begins with a detailed brow and skin assessment to evaluate:
• Brow density and growth patterns
• Areas of follicle dormancy
• Contributing factors such as hormones or previous treatments
This ensures the program is tailored to your brows — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Step 2: In-Clinic Growth Treatments. Over 12 weeks, you’ll receive four in-clinic brow treatments, strategically spaced to support the natural hair growth cycle.
These treatments focus on:
• Stimulating follicle activity
• Improving scalp-to-follicle communication
• Supporting healthier, stronger regrowth
Each session builds on the last to maintain momentum through the growth cycle.
Step 3: At-Home Growth Support. Clients receive a dedicated at-home growth serum to use consistently throughout the 12 weeks.
This is critical to:
• Reinforce in-clinic results
• Maintain follicle stimulation between visits
• Support continuous growth signalling
Consistency at home is where long-term results are built.
Step 4: Brow Shaping, Wax & Tint (Weeks 8 & 12). At week 8 and week 12, clients are eligible for a brow wax and tint to:
• Shape newly emerging growth
• Enhance definition while brows fill in
• Track visible progress throughout the program
Step 5: Progress Review & Long-Term Strategy. At the conclusion of the 12 weeks, brow growth is reassessed and a long-term maintenance plan is discussed to support ongoing results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is The Growth Phase™?
The Growth Phase™ is a 12-week, follicle-focused brow revival program designed to support natural eyebrow regrowth by improving the health and communication of the brow follicle environment.
How is The Growth Phase™ different from brow serums?
Most brow serums focus on conditioning existing hairs or temporarily enhancing appearance. The Growth Phase™ works at a cellular level, supporting follicle signalling and the natural hair growth cycle rather than masking hair loss.
How does it help sparse or thinning brows?
Sparse brows often result from follicles becoming dormant or stuck in the resting phase. The Growth Phase™ uses advanced bio-signalling ingredients such as exosomes, peptides, and cytokines to help create a healthier environment for follicles to re-enter the active growth phase.
What are exosomes, peptides, and cytokines?
These are naturally occurring biological messengers involved in cell communication:
• Exosomes help deliver signals between cells, supporting renewal and follicle responsiveness.
• Peptides support the hair growth cycle and follicle strength.
• Cytokines help regulate inflammation and support skin and follicle repair.
Together, they support healthier brow growth conditions.
Who is The Growth Phase™ suitable for?
This program is ideal for clients experiencing:
• Over-plucked or over-waxed brows
• Hormonal brow thinning
• Stress- or illness-related hair loss
• Age-related brow density loss
• Poor regrowth following cosmetic tattooing
Is this a cosmetic tattoo or makeup alternative?
No. The Growth Phase™ does not involve tattooing, microblading, or cosmetic camouflage. It is a natural brow regrowth program focused on follicle health.
How long does it take to see results?
Hair growth is gradual. Many clients begin to notice changes between weeks 6–8, with fuller results continuing to develop through the 12-week program and beyond. Individual results vary based on hair cycle, consistency, and contributing factors.
What is included in the 12-week program?
The Growth Phase™ includes:
• A detailed brow and skin assessment
• Four in-clinic growth treatments over 12 weeks
• A dedicated at-home growth serum
• Brow wax and tint at weeks 8 and 12
• Progress reviews and long-term maintenance guidance
Do I need to use the at-home product?
Yes. The at-home component is essential. Consistent use supports follicle signalling between clinic visits and significantly improves outcomes.
Can I still have my brows tinted or shaped during the program?
Yes. Brow shaping, waxing, and tinting are included at specific points in the program to complement new growth without disrupting the follicle cycle.
Is The Growth Phase™ suitable if I’ve had previous brow tattooing?
In many cases, yes. An assessment is required to determine follicle health beneath the skin and whether the program is suitable for you.
Is this treatment safe?
The Growth Phase™ is performed by trained brow specialists using professional-grade protocols. A consultation is required to ensure suitability for your individual skin and brow concerns.
Can other clinics offer The Growth Phase™?
Certification for other clinics is currently in development, with education and wholesale access planned for 2026.
Is this a one-off treatment?
The Growth Phase™ is a structured program, designed to work with the natural hair growth cycle over 12 weeks for optimal results.
