🚫At Skylashes we made a conscious choice to steer clear of UV eyelash extensions due to the significant risks involved. While the use of eyelash extension adhesive is trending, we choose not to introduce UV adhesive for a few key reasons:
1️⃣UV rays can be harmful to the skin comparable to sun exposure. Unfortunately, many clients undergoing UV eyelash extensions aren’t being advised to protect their delicate eye area and surrounding skin with sunscreen during the treatment.
2️⃣ The delicate skin around your eyes is at risk. All eyelash extension adhesives contain cyanoacrylate, the culprit behind allergic responses. While quick-curing adhesives might reduce fume exposure and theoretically lower the risk of reactions, those prone to allergies tend to react consistently, regardless of curing methods.
Before going to the UV LED procedure asked yourself a few questions:
* Had you considered the UV exposure risk to your skin?
* Do you know that master should wear the glasses to filter UV light. How is it safe for the client then?
* The same UV light is used for drying the shellac nail gel. Are you sure you are ok to do the same for your eyes?
If the technology improves and long-term studies prove that there’s no harmful skin damage occuring to clients, then we would consider it.
However, as it is unproven and untested, we won’t take risks when it comes to customers’ safety.
