Although eyelash extensions are generally safe and effective, there are some permanent and temporary contraindications that should be taken into account before undergoing them. In this article, we will discuss the various permanent and temporary contraindications for eyelash extensions so you can make an informed decision about whether or not this type of treatment is right for you.
Permanent Contraindications for Eyelash Extensions
Before getting any type of eyelash extension treatment, it is important to consider any permanent contraindications that could affect your results. These include:
- Eye conditions such as dry eye syndrome or other eye diseases/disorders;
- Allergic reactions to products used in lash treatments;
- Skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis around the eye area;
- Previous eye surgery;
- Lash mites;
- Watery eyes;
- Natural lashes that are too short, weak or sparse for successful application of extensions.
If any of these conditions apply to you then it is best not to get eyelash extensions as they could potentially cause further damage or discomfort in those areas. It is also important to note that if you have had previous treatments such as waxing, brow lamination or lash lifting near your eyes then you should wait at least 24 hours before getting eyelash extensions applied in order for the treated area to heal properly first.
Temporary Contraindications for Eyelash Extensions
In addition to permanent contraindications there are also some temporary contraindications which should be taken into consideration prior to getting eyelash extension treatments. These include:
- If a client has recently been diagnosed with an infectious disease (such as conjunctivitis);
- If a client has recently undergone an eye surgery (such as cataract removal);
- If a client has recently had their eyes treated with prescription medications (such as antibiotics);
- If a client has recently experienced allergic reactions after using certain products near their eyes (including makeup).
These temporary contraindications should be discussed with your technician before undergoing any kind of lash extension procedure so they can take special care when applying the product on those areas which may have been affected by these issues in order avoid further irritation or complications. Additionally, it’s recommended that all clients do a patch test prior starting the full procedure just in case they experience any kind of reaction from the product being used during their appointment. This way they can ensure their safety while still achieving great results from their treatment session!
Do A Patch Test
A patch test is always recommended prior starting any kind of lash extension service because it helps determine whether one might have allergies towards certain ingredients found within some products used during this process – especially if they’ve never done so before! This involves taking a small amount of product onto either cotton swab/pad and then gently dabbing it onto skin near but not directly on top of where one intends on having their lashes applied – usually behind ear lobe works well too since most people don’t normally come into contact with many allergens here! Then leave untouched overnight until morning time comes around when checking if there were any redness/irritation experienced throughout night time period afterwards…if none then proceed forward with booking appointment but always remember safety first above all else when making decisions related towards beauty services like these!
