Safety Points to Consider While Going For Lash Lift

Going for lash lift is not an issue these days. Plenty of salons offers this treatment at present, and those interested have a wide range of options to choose from. However, the reality is not all of these salons are of top quality, nor are all the products they offer. Naturally, not all of them will give the best and the safest result. 

Lash lifting is an intricate process and has to be performed meticulously. Besides, the quality of the lash lifts has to be optimal as low-quality products may cause irreparable damage to the natural eyelashes as well as the eyes and their adjoining areas.  

That is why it is imperative that before going for lash lifting, utmost safety precaution is taken on various fronts. This page describes the health hazards associated with improper lash lifting and using low-quality products. 

The risk of using inferior lashes

In case of regular artificial eyelashes, synthetic lashes are attached to the eyelids. They can be removed later on without much effort. However, the eyelash extensions, on the other hand, are applied by the experts directly to the individual natural eyelashes with the help of a bonding agent – generally a special type of glue. Naturally, they last for over a month. Therefore, if the eyelash extensions in Canberra are not of superior quality, it results in long time side effects. 

They can hurt the natural eyelashes, causing them to lose their natural nutrients and break from the middle or shed off altogether. If the adhesive is of poor quality, or if administered in a wrong way, there is every chance of the eyes getting glue-shut. It can also harm the skin of the eyelid. The area adjoining the eyes is susceptible and can get damaged at the drop of a hat! 

Other risks of using low-quality lashes or going to a not-so-experienced beautician  

Besides these issues, opting for low-quality eyelash extensions or a not-so-reputed or inexperienced beauty salon in Darwin might result in the following medical conditions:

Keratoconjunctivitis: It is a medical condition, wherein there is an inflammation in the cornea as well as the conjunctiva because of inflammation. In most cases, the infection is caused by a poor quality glue or removing agent getting into the eye, during the application or the removal of the extensions.

Allergic blepharitis: This is a medical condition associated with inflammation of eyelids. It happens in most cases, due to an allergic reaction that the glue might have caused to the skin. This happens more so when the adhesive is rich in formaldehyde. At times, the allergy is also caused by the fixing tape, which the beauticians use during the process.

Conjunctival erosion: This is again caused by the tape that is used to fix the eyelid. It happens due to sub-conjunctival haemorrhage. It is a medical condition wherein bleeding takes place just beneath the conjunctiva, as a result of compression on the eye when removing the lash extensions.

Traction alopecia: This a typical condition, wherein the natural eyelashes shed off due to a constant weight that is exerted by the eyelash extensions on the natural lashes. It may happen even if high-quality products are used. Hence, it is advised not to use the eyelash extensions for too long, or undertake repeated extension treatments.

Thus, it is imperative to get to a reputed salon for eyelash extension treatment and to take certain precautionary measures.
