Planting false eyelashes may have the following hazards:
Skin and Eye Inflammation
Allergic reactions: Many lash glues contain chemical substances like formaldehyde and latex. When these come into contact with the skin around the eyes, they can trigger allergic reactions in some people, leading to symptoms such as redness, itching, swelling, and rashes on the eyelids.
Conjunctivitis and keratitis: During the process of planting false eyelashes, if the tools are not sterile or the operation is improper, bacteria, viruses and other pathogens may enter the eyes, causing infections such as conjunctivitis and keratitis. This can result in symptoms like eye redness, pain, tearing, a feeling of foreign body in the eyes, and a decrease in vision.
Damage to Natural Eyelashes
Eyelash shedding: The glue used to attach false eyelashes has strong adhesiveness. When removing the false eyelashes, it is easy to take away the natural eyelashes, leading to excessive eyelash shedding. Over time, this can make natural eyelashes sparser.
Weakening and breakage: Frequent planting of false eyelashes and the continuous pulling and pressure from the glue can cause the natural eyelashes to become brittle, weak, and prone to breakage. This affects the health and normal growth cycle of the natural eyelashes.
Impact on Eye Function
Foreign body sensation and discomfort: If the false eyelashes are not properly planted or are of poor quality, they may feel like a foreign body in the eyes, causing continuous discomfort, blinking frequently, and even affecting normal eye movements and vision.
Impaired tear film stability: The planted false eyelashes may disrupt the normal distribution and evaporation of the tear film on the surface of the eyes, affecting the stability of the tear film and leading to dry eyes, a burning sensation, and other discomforts.
In severe cases, long-term or improper false eyelash planting can cause irreversible damage to the eyes and surrounding tissues. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a regular beauty salon and a professional beautician for false eyelash planting, and pay attention to eye hygiene and care after the procedure.
