Eyelash extensions are a popular way to enhance the beauty of natural eyelashes. Unfortunately, they can also cause red eyes after application. We will discuss what causes red eyes after lash extensions and how to treat them. We will also discuss ways to prevent this condition from occurring in the future.
What Causes Red Eyes After Lash Extensions?
Red eyes after lash extensions can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergic reactions to the glue or adhesive used during the application process, as well as chemical burns due to the products used on natural lashes during removal or touch-up appointments. You may also be suffering from an infection. Additionally, clients may experience irritation due to dust particles or other debris that become trapped between their skin and the extension adhesive or glue. Finally, some clients may experience an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients found in many commercially available lash extension products, such as glues and adhesives.
What Are Bloodshot Eyes?
Bloodshot eyes are a common symptom associated with redness around your eye area following eyelash extension treatments. Bloodshot eyes occur when small blood vessels near your eye become inflamed due to allergies, dryness, or exposure to irritants like smoke or chemicals found in certain types of makeup removers and cleaners. These blood vessels swell up and become more visible, resulting in reddened whites of your eye, which is known as “bloodshot.”
How To Treat Red Eyes After Eyelash Extensions?
Fortunately, there are several treatments available for those suffering from red eyes after eyelash extensions. For mild cases of irritation caused by dust particles or other debris trapped between the skin and extension adhesive/glue, warm compresses applied directly to the affected areas may help reduce inflammation and relieve itching quickly and effectively. Additionally, over-the-counter antihistamines such as Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may be taken orally if an allergic reaction is suspected as the cause of redness around the eye area following eyelash extension treatments. For more severe cases where an allergic reaction is present, it is important to seek medical attention immediately so that further treatment can be prescribed accordingly (i.e., prescription-strength antihistamines).
Finally, it is important to avoid using any makeup remover containing harsh chemicals near your sensitive eye area until all symptoms have completely subsided, as these can further aggravate existing irritation, resulting in increased inflammation and redness around the affected areas (i.e., under-eye circles). Instead, opt for gentle cleansing solutions designed specifically for use on sensitive skin types, such as micellar water, which can help remove any remaining traces of mascara without irritating the already irritated skin surrounding your newly extended lashes.
Why Is The Bottom Half Of Eye Red After Eyelash Extensions?
The bottom half of your eye may turn red after eyelash extensions due to a number of reasons, including contact dermatitis caused by exposure to certain ingredients found within some commonly used commercial lash adhesives, chemical burns caused by harsh cleaning solutions, buildup from dust particles getting trapped between the skin and lashes, dryness resulting from not properly moisturizing underneath each individual lash before/after applying new sets, and finally, an allergic reaction resulting from either one particular ingredient found within specific glues/adhesives or simply coming into contact with something else entirely unrelated yet still capable of triggering similar symptoms (i.e., airborne allergens, etc.).
In order to minimize the chances of experiencing any adverse reactions, it’s important to follow pre- and post-care instructions provided by certified professionals prior to engaging in services offered at reputable salons only! This includes thoroughly researching each product beforehand to ensure that everything included meets the highest safety standards possible while also taking the time to ensure that proper hygiene measures are followed throughout the entire process – especially when it comes to removing old sets! Furthermore, always try to keep track of what type of materials are being used so that the doctor knows exactly what to prescribe should a case arise where medication is needed to treat a particular issue arising from having too many layers glued down in the same spot(s)! Finally, don’t forget to moisturize regularly once all is done to make sure to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy-looking complexion free of any unnecessary blemishes!
