Are Eyelash Extensions Safe?

Eyelash extensions are probably as safe as using false eyelashes if done by an experienced practitioner. They are not very durable though and usually quite expensive. If you are considering eyelash enhancements for a soon upcoming event, extensions are probably the way to go. But if you have some time, why not try Latisse? Grow your own lashes luxurious and long. Add mascara and voila, as glamorous as extensions and more long lasting. Newly FDA approved, Latisse is applied once a day to the lash line like an eyeliner and within 8 weeks your eyelashes will be visibly longer and fuller and darker. Maximum growth is usually obtained in 16 weeks. After that, maintenance application one to two times per week is all that is needed.

When performed by an experienced aesthetician in a hygienic environment, eyelash extensions are perfectly safe. However, there is still no guarantee that you won't experience irritation from them. If your lashes get wet, it shouldn't adversely affect the glue used. However, you'll have to wait until the glue dries before wetting your lashes. 

Generally, extensions are safe for most people with the few concerns that have already been mentioned by the panel members. For the time involved for appointments, upkeep, and cost of the service, one may find a much better value in Latisse by Allergan. Rather than relying on extensions, one may be able to lengthen, darken, and thicken their own existing lashes while growing new lashes with the use of Latisse.

Eyelash extensions are safe if done by properly trained and certified professionals, and with sterile instruments. Although well-done eyelash extensions look fantastic, they do not last longer than month or two and you need touch ups. Perhaps you should consider Latisse, the only FDA approved lash conditioner that will grow your own lashes as well as make them thicker and darker. It takes 4 months for full effect, so you have to be patient, but it is worth it.

Selection of glue is very important in usage of eyelash extensions.  One needs to use good quality adhesives that does not cause irritation to eyes.    Also best to use glue that dissolves with water so no excessive force is needed to remove the extensions which can damage your natural lashes.
