Eyelash extensions contraindications

Is it dangerous to get eyelash extensions ? Are there any contraindications? Do natural eyelashes get damaged?

Eyelash extension treatment is becoming more and more popular, but many people still know very little about it. Here we are, today we answer the questions that revolve around this wonderful world often unknown!

Risks of Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extensions are a professional treatment that involves the application of one or more synthetic fiber eyelashes on each natural eyelash. Length, curl and volume… the result is an intense and deep look, that does not need make-up to stand out!

A high-level professional application does not cause any problems and does not interfere with the natural life cycle of the eyelashes. Relying on inexperienced and uncertified operators, on the other hand, is very risky. In case of incorrect application, the results could be irreparable.

The lashmaker must know how to evaluate which length and weight are suitable for the structure of the natural lashes of each client. Excessive thicknesses on very fine and/or fragile lashes could tear the hair or break it. Excessive weight, moreover, can modify the growth axis of the lashes in the long run, pushing the tips downwards.

But I, who want to get an eyelash extension for the first time, how can I tell the quality of the work?

Here are some tips from the pros…

How to avoid problems with eyelash extensions?

If you want to be calm and avoid taking unnecessary risks, just look for an expert in the sector. Those who have taken professional courses do not work from home, they have a salon or a beauty center and are in possession of various certificates that certify their participation in professional courses. They are usually always displayed in their center.

The best operators participate in various national or international competitions and championships, in which case their cups and trophies are always in plain sight… you will recognize them immediately! The main advice is to know the person you rely on well because professionalism and competence are the essential requirements to look for. Ask for a consultation before booking the treatment, so you will understand who you are dealing with.

The experience and skill of the lashmaker go hand in hand with the quality of the products used: those who know the field of eyelash extensions well, in fact, know that it is better to rely on top quality brands such as Light Lashes to get the best possible result.

Successful lash stylists know that low-cost products should be avoided, just as they know that extensions should never be attached directly to the eyelid. They know how to buy the most reliable glue brands and also know how to protect you from the fumes of the glue itself. A professional knows that continuous application is not recommended to avoid allergies, so at the right time they will tell you that it is necessary to take a few months off.

In short, choosing a professional means choosing to have an enchanting look while preserving the health of your eyelashes and eyes. Quality false eyelashes applied correctly DO NOT weigh on the eye, DO NOT bother you during the day and DO NOT cause irritation. If you encounter these problems, the work was definitely not done by a qualified master.

For a stunning but subtle effect, look for a high-end beauty salon that uses the Light Lashes brand! The synthetic fiber of our eyelash extensions is produced with the latest manufacturing technologies, which guarantee above-average quality. All our products are for professional use only.

Eyelash extensions contraindications

Eyelash extensions are not performed on women who have irritated, inflamed or red eyes. Working with chemical glues can worsen the current situation of the eye, so at the time of treatment the eyes must be completely healthy. NO conjunctivitis, blepharitis, styes, freshly made eyeliner tattoos, madarosis, etc.

Eyelash extension treatment should not be performed in the presence of proven allergies to the products used, otherwise a patch test should be performed 48 hours before application.

Among other things, it is not recommended to work on minors, pregnant women and during the breastfeeding period. In these cases, the danger is not in the allergies themselves, but in the possible need for treatment to remedy the damage.

Pros and Cons of Eyelash Extensions

If you want to have a magnetic and always tidy look, you really need eyelash extensions! No more invisible eyelashes and no more smudged makeup. In the morning you will no longer have to wake up early to put on makeup and your look will always be impeccable. At the beach, in the pool, in the mountains... anywhere! You will always be ready in two minutes and you will show off an enviable charm! In many cases, eyelash extensions have also helped those who suffer from trichotillomania to lose the habit of touching and/or detaching their natural eyelashes.

If your lash artist has the necessary skills, there are no real cons. Let's see what the small negative sides of this treatment could be:

• Some might say that maintaining extensions takes a lot of time , but in reality it is only a few hours every 3/4 weeks. Don't forget that it is very important to dedicate time to relaxation and self-care, not to mention that these two "lost" hours are abundantly recovered every morning when you have to get ready!

• The cost of the treatment may be a problem higher than expected, but remember that it is essential to pay for quality if you want to be satisfied with the result. A low-cost treatment could mean that the operator is not very experienced or uses poor products.

• Repeated application of eyelash extensions may trigger allergic reactions over time, but an experienced lash stylist knows how to take all the necessary precautions to minimize this risk.
• “Blemished” effect. Typically, a touch-up is done every 2-4 weeks or a new complete application is done after 4-6 weeks. Failure to touch up will result in gaps between the synthetic lashes that do not give a nice effect to the look. Just make an appointment in time!

What should I do when I have eyelash extensions ?

“I’ve heard that eyelash extensions are very complicated to manage.”

These are just rumors! Once applied they do not require any special care, just follow some simple precautions:

• Do not wet your lashes, go to the sauna or undergo sun treatments for 24 hours after application.
• Do not use oily cosmetics or makeup removers to avoid premature fall of the extensions
• Do not use the eyelash curler
• Only apply specific mascaras , such as InLei® Frida
• Maintain proper eye cleanliness to avoid the proliferation of bacteria
• Do not rub excessively to avoid the synthetic fibre coming into contact with the eye.

That's it? Absolutely!
