Medical Video: What’s the Real Deal: Eyelash Extension Dangers!?
Having long, thick and plump eyelashes is certainly a dream of women. The use of mascara may help, but you certainly need to provide extra time and patience every day in its use. Most women will certainly do almost anything to make their appearance look more attractive. Until recently eyelash extensions have emerged as a new alternative solution for those who want eyelashes to look more attractive.
But is there a danger of this eyelash extension for users? Here's the review.
Risks that may occur due to the installation of eyelash extensions
1. Eyelashes fall out
The use of eyelash extensions that are too long can give tension to your natural lashes. This is because, the weight of false eyelashes can put pressure on the original lashes and can actually cause the original eyelashes to fall out.
In women with a not so strong eyelash root, even permanent eyelash loss can occur. This condition in the medical world can also be known as traction alopecia. Your lashes may look thicker, but actually your original lashes are thinning.
2. Irritations and allergies
Especially if you have sensitive skin, the substance that becomes the basic ingredient of eyelash extensions might make your eyes irritated. Adhesives that attach lashes to your eyes may be able to cause a rash on your eyes, or even cause your eyes to turn red and bubbles appear like filled with water on your skin.
A number of findings even add to the content of formaldehyde chemical compounds in some outstanding eyelash extension adhesives. This combination of conditions can certainly increase your potential to experience allergies to the adhesive.
3. Eyes hurt
Irritation can cause your eyes to get an infection. In other words, the use of adhesives goes directly to your natural lashes, potentially causing infection in your eyes. In addition, both the substance of false eyelashes and their adhesives are susceptible to exposure to bacteria and viruses.
The presence of bacteria and viruses in false eyelashes that are glued to your natural lashes, has the potential to cause inflammation in the front of your eyes, or in the medical world known as conjunctivitis. In high severity, conjunctivitis can affect the quality of your vision. As reported by the Medical Daily, in one case, false eyelashes can even fall into your eyes and are difficult to remove, because they have been stuck with your eyes.
Why are my lashes thin?
Having thin eyelashes can actually occur due to several factors, such as:
- Genetic influence
- Lysine amino acid levels in the body. Lysine is believed to have an important role in hair growth in your body. You can get the content of lysine from several foods such as meat, beans, eggs, grains, cod, poultry, and Japanese tofu.
- Rub your eyes with excessive force and not clean your eyes after using makeupall day, can increase the potential of your eyelashes to experience hair loss.
