At Lash Addict Studio – Clearwater, ensuring the safety and comfort of our guests during and after eyelash extension applications is our top priority. While we take extensive measures to prevent reactions, it’s important to understand how to manage any potential issues that may arise.
Potential Causes of Reactions
Reactions to eyelash extensions can occur due to various factors, including:
- Certain medications or recent changes in medication
- Recent changes in eye sensitivities
- Ongoing or recent medical treatments
- Unknown allergies or severe seasonal allergies
- Inaccurate information provided to the stylist
Preventive Measures
To prevent allergic reactions, we take the following measures:
- Guest Information Form: During a guest’s first visit, we provide a form for them to share any relevant information, including allergies, previous reactions to lash applications, adhesives, or tape, as well as details about medications and eye sensitivities.
- Patch Test: If the provided information suggests a potential allergy, a patch test is performed to assess the guest’s reaction to lash extensions and adhesives.
Managing Allergic Reactions
If you experience any irritation, such as itchiness, soreness, burning, swelling, or redness after getting eyelash extensions, we recommend the following steps:
- Contact Us: Reach out to us immediately to report the symptoms. If your stylist is unavailable, another available stylist will assist you and provide guidance.
- Avoid Rubbing: Refrain from rubbing your eyes, as this can further irritate them.
- Topical Treatments: Apply hydrocortisone cream and consider taking an antihistamine to alleviate the reaction.
- Consultation and Removal: If the above measures do not alleviate the reaction, we recommend setting up an appointment for the safe removal of your lash extensions. During this time, you can discuss alternative options for enhancing your lashes with other services we provide.
Choosing Professional Care
It’s crucial to choose a certified and trained lash technician to ensure proper application and minimize the risk of allergic reactions. At Lash Addict Studio – Clearwater, all our stylists receive extensive training and certification to provide professional and safe services to our guests.
By following these guidelines and seeking professional care, you can ensure the safety and well-being of your eyes and enjoy beautiful lash extensions without compromising your comfort.
