Contraindications

Before we start your eyelash service, it's important to check for any contraindications to ensure your safety and comfort. If you have any allergies, skin sensitivities, or existing eye conditions, please let me know. We'll also do a quick patch test if needed to make sure you're not allergic to the products we’ll be using. My priority is to give you beautiful lashes while keeping everything safe and irritation-free!

Who is Ineligible to Receive Eyelash Extensions?

Individuals who are ineligible to receive eyelash extensions typically fall into several categories due to various medical conditions or factors. These may include:

Severe Allergic Reactions: People with a known history of severe allergic reactions to lash extension adhesive or materials are typically ineligible. Allergic reactions can manifest as swelling, redness, itching, or even anaphylaxis, posing a significant risk to the client's health.
Recent Eye Surgeries: Those who have undergone eye surgeries, such as LASIK, cataract surgery, or corneal transplant, within a certain timeframe (usually within the past three months) are often advised against getting eyelash extensions. The eye area needs time to heal properly, and introducing foreign materials may interfere with the recovery process.
Chronic Eye Conditions: Individuals with chronic eye conditions such as severe dry eye syndrome, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, or glaucoma may be ineligible for eyelash extensions. These conditions can compromise eye health and make it risky to apply extensions.
Eye Infections: Clients with current or recent eye infections, including pink eye (conjunctivitis), are typically not allowed to receive eyelash extensions. Introducing extensions into an infected eye can exacerbate the condition and spread the infection.
Chemotherapy: Those undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, particularly within the last six months, are usually advised against getting eyelash extensions. Chemotherapy can weaken the immune system and affect hair growth, making it risky to apply extensions during treatment.
Severe Skin Conditions: Individuals with severe skin conditions affecting the eye area, such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis, may be ineligible for eyelash extensions. These conditions can cause inflammation, itching, and flakiness, making it uncomfortable and unsafe to apply extensions.
Hypersensitivity to Cosmetic Products: People with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to cosmetic products, especially those applied around the eye area, may not be suitable candidates for eyelash extensions. The adhesive and other materials used in the process may trigger allergic reactions.
Adverse Reactions to Previous Applications: Clients who have experienced severe adverse reactions to previous eyelash extension applications, such as infections or allergic reactions, are typically advised against getting extensions in the future.

While these individuals may initially be ineligible for eyelash extensions, there are scenarios where they may still be able to receive them:

Clearance from Healthcare Professional: If a qualified healthcare professional or ophthalmologist assesses the individual's condition and determines that it is safe for them to receive eyelash extensions, they may be eligible.
Patch Testing: Conducting patch tests to assess the client's sensitivity to lash extension adhesive and materials can help determine if they can safely receive extensions.
Medical Documentation: Providing medical documentation indicating that their condition is stable and does not pose significant risks may enable them to receive extensions under careful supervision.
Informed Consent: Clients who fully understand the potential risks associated with getting eyelash extensions and consent to proceed despite their medical history may be able to receive them.

Ultimately, the decision to proceed with eyelash extensions should prioritize the client's safety and well-being. If there are doubts or concerns about their eligibility, it's essential to consult with healthcare professionals and exercise caution to minimize risks.

Who is Ineligible to Receive an Eyelash Lift and Tint?

Individuals who may be ineligible to receive a lash lift and tint include those who fall under certain categories or conditions that could pose risks or complications during or after the procedure. Here are more details on who should avoid or postpone these treatments:

Pregnant Women in the First Trimester:
- Lash lift and tint procedures are generally not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy due to limited clinical research on the safety of the chemicals used in these treatments during early pregnancy. It's advisable to wait until after the first trimester when the risk to the developing fetus is reduced.
Those with Recent Allergic Reactions to Lash Lifting Products:
- Individuals who have previously experienced severe allergic reactions, such as swelling, itching, or irritation, after undergoing lash lift or using related products should avoid these treatments. Allergic reactions can lead to discomfort and potentially serious health issues.
Patients with Eye Infections, Inflammation, or Styes:
- It is unsafe to perform lash treatments on individuals with active eye infections, inflammation (such as conjunctivitis), or styes (localized infections of the eyelid). Applying products near compromised eyes can exacerbate the condition and lead to further complications.
Recent Recipients of Laser Eye Surgery (within the past six weeks):
- Individuals who have undergone laser eye surgery, such as LASIK or PRK, need to allow sufficient time for their eyes to heal and stabilize before considering any cosmetic procedures near the eye area. Introducing foreign substances or treatments too soon after surgery can interfere with the healing process and lead to discomfort or complications.
Individuals on Certain Hormonal Medications (e.g., roaccutane, thyroid medication):
- Certain medications, such as isotretinoin (commonly known as roaccutane) and thyroid medications, can affect the condition and growth cycle of lashes. The effectiveness and safety of lash lift treatments may be compromised when these medications are being used. It's recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or lash technician before undergoing such treatments while on hormonal medications.
People with Sensitive Skin or Known Sensitivities to Cosmetic Products:
- Individuals who have a history of sensitive skin or known allergies to cosmetic ingredients should exercise caution when considering lash lift and tint procedures. Patch testing prior to the treatment can help identify potential adverse reactions and ensure the safety of the individual.
Those Unwilling or Unable to Follow Post-Treatment Care Instructions:
- Proper aftercare is essential for the success and longevity of lash lift and tint results. Individuals who are unable or unwilling to follow post-treatment care instructions, such as avoiding water, steam, or oil-based products, may not be suitable candidates for these procedures.

It's crucial for individuals to disclose their medical history and any relevant health information to their lash technician or esthetician before undergoing lash lift and tint treatments. This allows for a thorough assessment of eligibility and ensures the safety and well-being of the client throughout the procedure and recovery period. Consulting with a qualified professional is recommended to address any concerns or questions regarding eligibility for lash treatments based on individual circumstances.
