One of these days, one of the most popular beauty procedures - eyelash extension, was recognized as dangerous. And this was first reported by the Western edition of The Sun with reference to British ophthalmologist Elizabeth Hawkes.
According to the doctor, the fascination with false eyelashes provoked the growth of eye infections, which are accompanied by tumor growths over the mucous membranes. Elizabeth Hawks also emphasized that this beauty procedure can lead to the loss of your own eyelashes, which, in turn, can be extremely dangerous for the eyes.
“Eyelashes are the natural protection for the eyes from dust and germs. And the deprivation of the eyes of natural protection threatens with many infections and diseases,”said the British expert.
Such statements, of course, cannot leave you indifferent. Is this just another "horror story" or should we really give up eyelash extensions? The BeautyHack editors found out all the disadvantages of this procedure from a specialist - lash-master of the Keep Looking salon chain Yana Blazhevich.

- On the one hand, the research of the British doctor can be called true. On the other hand, not quite. Still, if there are no specific contraindications - eye diseases, postoperative period, mechanical damage, viral diseases, a predisposition to tearing eyes, hypersensitivity and redness, then eyelash extension is safe for the client. But also only if the procedure is performed by a qualified craftsman who uses styrene and high-quality materials. It is also important that the extensions are done in a salon or in a special office, and not at home. If we talk about the disadvantages of the procedure, then they really are. The most dangerous thing is the glue used for false eyelashes. Its composition is chemical, which may not be beneficial for the sensitive skin around the eyes. But here it is also important to understandthat the glue tends to evaporate within two days, and with the correct technique, it is applied in minimal doses and in compliance with the required indent from the ciliary contour. That is, the risk to the eyes is definitely excluded. Can allergies occur when building up? In very rare cases. In my experience, in 10 years of practice, this happened only five times. But when the eyelashes were removed, the girls' symptoms disappeared. As for the issue of losing your own eyelashes with regular extension, this is also extremely rare. If my client has such problems, we just do a first pearl in three to six months (this period is enough to grow our new good eyelashes), and then we start extending again. But one thing is absolutely certain: it is impossible to remain completely without eyelashes with the correct extension technique.
