Allergic reactions after eyelash extensions
Although eyelash extensions are safe for most people, they can cause allergic reactions in some people. These reactions can vary and range from mild irritation to more severe symptoms. The most common signs of an allergic reaction include
- Redness and swelling: your eyelids may turn red and swell, which can cause uncomfortable itching.
- Burning and tearing: A burning sensation in the eyes, accompanied by increased tearing, may indicate an allergic reaction.
- Skin rashes: A rash around the eyes is another common sign of an allergic reaction to eyelash extensions.
- Discomfort: A general feeling of discomfort or pressure around the eyes may also occur.
When does an allergy occur?
An allergic reaction after eyelash extensions can occur immediately or develop gradually. Some people may notice symptoms during the treatment, while for others it may take a few hours or even days for the reaction to manifest. This depends on your individual sensitivity to the adhesives and materials used.
Causes of allergic reactions
The main cause of allergic reactions after eyelash extensions are the chemicals contained in the adhesives and materials. Some people are more sensitive to certain ingredients contained in these products, which can lead to allergic reactions.
What should you do?
If you notice allergic reactions after eyelash extensions, it is important to inform your specialist immediately. They can give you advice and possibly remove the artificial eyelashes safely to avoid further irritation. You should also consult a doctor if the symptoms are severe or persist for a long time.
What should professionals do?
It is important for professionals who perform eyelash extensions to educate clients about possible risks and allergic reactions. They should also ensure that they use high-quality products that are less likely to cause allergic reactions. In addition, it is advisable to address the individual needs and sensitivities of each client and use alternative products or techniques where appropriate.
