Uncovering the Risks of Eyelash Extension and Trendy Eye Treatments, Be Careful!

Dream - Lash extensions become one of the easy ways to make facial appearance look attractive, because the eyelashes always appear curly and thick. The face becomes more appealing even without wearing makeup or lipstick. It's no wonder that many people do it.

However, many eye health experts do not recommend lash extensions. Including Optometrist, Jennifer Tsai. She revealed 4 things that she will not do because they are dangerous for the eye area. One of them is lash extensions. Tsai also provides reasons why these four things are avoided and their effects on eye health. Check out the following explanation.

1. Lash Extension

Lash extension is a treatment that is done by attaching additional eyelashes to natural eyelashes to make them appear longer, thicker, curlier, and more voluminous. According to the New York Post, public interest in lash extensions is estimated to increase from 1.36 billion USD or around Rp22 billion in 2020 to 2.31 billion USD or more than Rp37 billion in 2028.

Although, Tsai revealed that lash extensions have several side effects. "Lash extensions can indeed enhance appearance, but I have seen many side effects, such as eyelash loss, the emergence of spots, and infections," Tsai said in her TikTok post. In addition, maintaining the quality of lash extensions is quite difficult and can only last for 6 weeks.

2. Not Cleaning Eye Makeup

Cleaning eye makeup can cause oil gland blockages that can lead to dry eyes and skin in the long term, as well as other side effects.

3. Filler in the Under Eye Area

Many people also inject fillers in the area under the eyes to eliminate wrinkles and sagging around it. The filler itself can last up to 18 months. The wrinkles indeed disappear instantly, and the skin under the eyes becomes very smooth.

"Unfortunately, the disappeared filler will leave quite a distinct mark as the skin in the under-eye area is very thin. The side effects can also cause nerve paralysis, the emergence of wounds, and infections. Fillers injected too close to the skin surface can also leave a bluish mark or what is called the Tyndall effect."

4. Wearing Contact Lenses for a Long Time

Now, contact lenses can be worn for a long time. However, Tsai does not recommend using them. This is because someone will easily forget to change the contact lenses and eventually it can cause health problems.

Wearing contact lenses of any kind for a long period of time can cause redness, injury, and inflammation. It becomes even more dangerous if done while swimming, washing the face, or bathing. Bacteria in water can cause severe infection or even blindness.
