Are the hazards of eyelash extensions really that serious?

Female friends have high requirements for eyelashes, and long eyelashes can better show their temperament. Therefore, beauties with short eyelashes like to have eyelash grafting. However, they do not know that it is very harmful. Long eyelashes will prick the eyes as they grow longer, and grow into inverted eyelashes. Inverted eyelashes will make the eyes very uncomfortable, always feeling prickly, and tears will flow at any time. In the later stage, it may cause inflammation in other parts of the eyes.

1. Allergic reaction: Eyelash extensions require the use of adhesive glue. Many people's skin will have an allergic reaction to the glue, resulting in red spots, erythema, and constant tearing. This is a common sense that must be understood before eyelash extensions are done. Therefore, before getting eyelash extensions, you must first do a skin test to make sure you are not allergic before proceeding.

2. Long inverted eyelashes. Many people have had eyelash transplantation and the effect is very good at the time. However, as time goes by, after eyelash transplantation, because the direction of eyelash growth is difficult to control, it is very easy for the upper eyelashes to grow downwards and the lower eyelashes to grow upwards. As long eyelashes grow longer, they prick the eyes and grow into inverted eyelashes. Inverted eyelashes will make the eyes very uncomfortable, and they will always feel prickly and shed tears at the slightest provocation. In the later stage, it may cause inflammation in other parts of the eyes.

3. Conjunctivitis When getting eyelash extensions, beauticians may remind you that the effect of eyelash extensions generally lasts for about three months. Therefore, many people think that it is only a temporary measure, and even if there is pain and discomfort, it will pass if they endure it. Many eyelash beauticians will also emphasize that most women will experience itching in the corners of their eyes after getting false eyelashes, but this will be no problem after the eyes adapt after a few days and it will not cause any harm to the eyes. However, experts emphasize that if you feel any discomfort after eyelash vaccination, you must not tolerate it. Since eyelash products of unknown origin are most likely to cause eye allergies and infections, Zhang Yalin, director of the Department of Ophthalmology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, said that many women who received false eyelashes went to the hospital for eye examinations and found out that they had eye infections and acute keratitis caused by the false eyelashes, and even were at risk of blindness.

4. Corneal inflammation. Blind eyelash extensions may cause conjunctivitis. False eyelashes are often not clean and can easily cause corneal inflammation, redness, swelling and other problems. Some informal manufacturers use pig hair or dog hair, and some even use chemicals directly. The eyes are extremely sensitive organs. If used for a long time, it will cause meibomian gland blockage, chronic inflammation, etc.

5. Eyelash loss. Many beauty salons use inferior glue and eyelashes. Some girls feel very beautiful at the time, but soon they will find that their real eyelashes and false eyelashes have fallen off together, leaving their eyes bare without a single eyelash. In order to achieve a thicker effect, beauty salons often perform eyelash grafting by gluing multiple false eyelashes onto one eyelash. The increased weight puts a heavy burden on the eyelashes and can cause them to fall off over time.

6. Follicular inflammation. Improper operation of eyelash extension will cause the false eyelashes to be pasted to the follicles of real eyelashes, which will cause the glue to penetrate into the follicles and block the pores of the follicles, leading to inflammation of the follicles. In severe cases, pus will flow, causing trachoma and conjunctivitis.
