Eyelash extensions can be a great way to enhance your look, but it's important to be aware of the potential side effects of eyelash glue. From temporary or permanent loss of eyelashes to infection of the eyelid or cornea, itching and burning in the eye and eyelid, severe swelling, redness or blood injection in the eyes, itching, pain, rash and even poisoning, there are a number of risks associated with using eyelash glue. In addition, eyelash extensions increase the risk of bacterial and fungal eye infections. Allergic reactions are also a possibility when using adhesive extensions.
Symptoms such as eye redness, itching, swelling and redness of the skin may appear immediately after application or within 24 to 48 hours after application. Unfortunately, these risks are often overlooked by those who are unaware of the dangers of eyelash glue. It's also possible for a customer to have an allergic reaction to the adhesive in eyelash glue and the solvents used to remove it. If you think someone has gotten eyelash glue or swallowed it, call the poisoning helpline at 1-800-222-1222. In addition, if the eyelash technician isn't experienced enough or isn't careful enough, the way they apply the extensions can end up damaging your natural lashes.
If you're wearing false eyelashes or are considering doing so, it's important to know that every time you have a foreign object close to your eye, there is a risk factor. To avoid the dangers of eyelash glue, doctors recommend that you get your eyelashes fixed by a professional salon that uses reputable eyelash glue, an often expensive service, or that you completely remove extensions. It's also important to maintain a cleansing and nourishing program for both your extensions and your natural eyelashes during this period. The easiest way to prevent the risk of eye infection or irritation is to simply avoid putting on eyelash extensions.
But if you do choose to use them, make sure you use warm water, a makeup remover, or an eyelash makeup remover to help loosen the adhesive's grip before removing them. In conclusion, although some unpleasant or inconvenient effects may occur as a result of the application of eyelash extensions, these are isolated incidents that are mainly due to aspects that cannot be foreseen (such as allergies), improper application or an incorrect care routine. If you store and reuse false eyelashes or drop them on a surface before applying them, there is a risk of harmful bacteria and dirt entering the eye.
