FAQs: UV Light Curing Technology for Lash Extensions
1. What is UV Light Curing Technology?
UV light curing is a newer method used to speed up the adhesive bonding process during lash extension application. It allows the lashes to set faster, reducing wait times and improving retention.
2. Is UV light safe?
When used properly by a trained professional, UV light is considered safe. However, as with any technology, there are potential risks you should be aware of before consenting to the service.
3. What are the possible risks?
-
Eye sensitivity or irritation – Some clients may experience temporary discomfort or light sensitivity.
-
Skin sensitivity – Rarely, the skin around the eyes may feel warm or irritated.
-
Allergic reaction – As with any lash adhesive, allergic reactions can occur, though they are not caused by UV light itself.
-
Overexposure concerns – Prolonged or repeated exposure to UV light may increase risks, which is why protective measures are always used.
4. How do you protect my eyes during the service?
We use specialized protective goggles or eye shields to block UV exposure. This ensures your eyes remain safe while the adhesive cures.
5. Who should avoid UV light curing?
You may not be a good candidate if you:
-
Have extreme light sensitivity or certain eye conditions
-
Have recently undergone eye surgery or treatment
-
Have a history of strong allergic reactions to adhesives
If you’re unsure, please consult with your doctor before your appointment.
6. Do I have to use UV curing for my lashes?
No. Traditional lash adhesive methods are always available. UV curing is an optional enhancement designed to provide longer wear and faster setting.
7. What should I do if I notice irritation after my appointment?
If you experience redness, itching, or prolonged discomfort, contact me immediately and avoid rubbing or scratching your eyes. In rare cases of severe reaction, seek medical attention.
Your safety is my top priority. By choosing UV light curing, you acknowledge the potential risks and agree to follow all safety measures provided during your appointment.
