After eyelash extensions, red eyes - what to do? Causes of redness of the eyes, methods of eliminating the problem

Leshmeyk, or eyelash extension - a cosmetic procedure, gaining increasing popularity among modern beauties. Today, most of the more or less large beauty salons and private masters offer services to create "eyelashes, which you have always dreamed of." In addition, the prices for such a procedure became more accessible than some five to seven years ago.

But is it always the result of a costly and time-consuming procedure that will be long fluffy cilia? Low-quality materials for building up, cheap glue or unprofessional, irresponsibly made work of a woodcutter can not only spoil the appearance, but also harm the health of the client. One of the most common complaints after eyelash extension is red eyes. What to do? And how is the eyelash extension procedure performed, if the master does everything right?

Sequence

Technically, the eyelash extension procedure is fairly simple and relatively safe. But only on condition that it is carried out by a good professional with observance of all security measures and hygienic rules. How should a step-by-step procedure for eyelash extension be carried out?

• Before starting to work, the master-woodmaker will discuss with the client what result it is planned to obtain with the help of the build-up. Before the procedure, make-up is thoroughly washed off, eyelashes are degreased using a special tool. The protective eyelid is placed on the lower eyelid.
• For each natural cilium, suitable for building, one artificial eyelash is glued. Depending on the desired result, the work of the leshmaker can last 1.5-3 hours. All this time the client can not open his eyes.

• After gluing the master applies a protective coating on the eyelashes and combs it with a special disposable brush.
• Important! Eyelashes are not aligned or trimmed after extension! The material for the procedure must immediately be selected by the master of the required length.
• At the end of the procedure the client will have another 15-20 minutes, without opening his eyes, sit under the fan to "weather" the harmful vapors from the glue for the eyelashes.

When the procedure is over, you may experience symptoms such as tear after eyelash extension, red eyes. What to do in this case?

Redness and tear in the first two hours after the eyelash extension is a normal reaction of the body. You have to start worrying after this period. It is necessary to observe the state of the eyes during the next day. If the condition of the mucous membrane or eye proteins worsens, or if there are other symptoms, you may need to seek medical help. But if, after 24 hours after the eyelash extensions, red eyes, what to do? The reasons for this reaction should be clarified by an ophthalmologist. Before applying to a qualified specialist, you can independently determine what causes redness, and if necessary, provide yourself with primary care.

Reason number 1: contraindications to building up

The first thing you need to know about: the eyelash extension procedure has a number of contraindications. Leshmeyker, who cares about his reputation, will certainly warn about this before the procedure begins. It is better to give up eyelash extensions:

• With regular use of contact lenses;
• High sensitivity of the eyelids;
• Conjunctivitis, blepharitis and other diseases of the eyes or eyelids.

Diseases can not just cause reddening of the eyes after building. As a result of an innocent cosmetic procedure, the inflammatory process, accompanied by edema of the eyelids, pain and unpleasant sensations, deterioration of vision, secretions, will most likely begin.

But if there are no contraindications to the procedure, but nevertheless after building up the eyelashes red eyes? What to do? The causes of redness can be understood by drawing attention to the symptoms that accompany the redness of the eyes.

Reason number 2: allergies

An allergic reaction can occur on materials used to build up, that is, artificial eyelashes or glue. Symptoms that are typical for allergies to a particular component of glue for eyelashes: redness of the eyes and eyelids, tearing, swelling of the eyelids and incessant itching. Signs that the body reacted to the new eyelashes, most often red eyes, swelling and a feeling of dryness. Pain sensations or itching in the eye area in this case, as a rule, do not arise.

The appearance of an allergic reaction is, first of all, an occasion to reflect on the competence of the master who made the build-up. A good leshmeyker will perform the test first, applying a small amount of glue on the eyelid approximately 24 hours before the procedure begins. And a very good one will agree to stick one or two test cilia a day before the build-up, in order to observe the reaction. At the end of the day, if the symptoms of an allergic reaction did not arise, the master can start working. Otherwise, this procedure is unsafe.

Of course, the best thing to do if the allergic reaction has already begun is to immediately contact the doctor. It is advisable to try to find out what glue and eyelashes the master used - it is extremely undesirable to use such materials in the future.

Reason # 3: Leshmaker error

Irritation and redness of the eyes can occur if the master accidentally glued to two real eyelashes one artificial or natural cilia stuck together due to the carelessness of the leshmeyker. After building up such errors will cause irritation. Treatment, as such, in this case is not required. It will be enough to turn to the master to correct the work. Determine the quality of work can be immediately after the eyelash extension: for this you need to hold them with a special brush or a wooden toothpick from the roots (base) to the tips. The procedure is carried out qualitatively, if the toothbrush (toothpick) freely and easily combs the eyelashes, without ever clinging.

It would be superfluous to check the quality of the woodworker's work, assessing the appearance of the eyelashes. There should be no traces of glue, unevenly protruding, curves or crossed cilia! An extension made in this way can damage the client's natural eyelashes or create conditions for a microtrauma. It will be lucky if there is only the most harmless reaction after the eyelash extension - red eyes. What to do? The procedure for correcting such a defect implies that the crookedly glued eyelashes master should remove and paste new ones, observing the technology of building up.

Reason # 4: microtrauma

A sign of microtrauma is the redness of one eye. Concomitant symptoms: the eye is watering, it hurts, when you turn the pupil, there is a feeling that something is interfering, irritation, sand in the eyes.

For what reason can a microtrauma appear? The fault of this is usually the low-quality work of the woodsman. For example, if the master pasted the eyelashes too close to the edge of the century.

Injury to the skin of the eye is possible even with a protective bio-adhesive in the lower eyelid, pasting it too tightly. Discomfort due to the fact that the edge of the sticker rests against the mucous membrane, appears almost immediately. Therefore, it is better not to tolerate this whole procedure, but to ask the master to rewrite the protection.

Reason number 5: chemical burn

In this case, the redness of the eyes will be accompanied by distinct spots of red on the white of the eye and on the eyelids. When turning the pupil, there are strong painful sensations.

Typically, leshmeykery warn customers that during the build-up and immediately after the cosmetic procedure, you can not open your eyes. Otherwise, in case of vaporization of the glue for eyelashes, you can get a chemical burn of the mucous membrane of the eye. But getting a burn is also possible through the fault of the master, if, with too much sloppy pressure during the eyelash extension, the eyelid involuntarily opens slightly.

Whether it is possible to render assistance independently at a combustion and to cure the red eyes inflamed after escalating of eyelashes. What to do (photo of the consequences of a chemical burn see below)?

Incorrect treatment of the eyes after a chemical burn can lead to serious complications, including deterioration of vision. Therefore, with suspicions of a burn, the only correct decision is to immediately consult an ophthalmologist.

First aid for eye redness

If the pain is too strong or reddening after the eyelash has not been expanded in two days, it is better not to postpone the visit to the ophthalmologist. The doctor will determine the exact cause of redness and other symptoms, prescribe treatment.

In case of complications, an ophthalmologist will most likely recommend removing artificial eyelashes. To do it it is necessary also in interior, at the master. Self-adhesive eyelashes are highly undesirable - you can injure the eyelid or damage natural eyelashes.

But what if the eyes blushed after the eyelash extension , and it's impossible to immediately seek professional medical help for some reason? How to avoid deterioration of the eyes? For pre-hospital care, the following medicines will be needed:

• "Suprastin" or other antihistamine. Take according to the instructions if there are signs of an allergy.

Folk remedies for red eyes

There are also folk methods that allow to cure red eyes inflamed after the eyelash extension. What to do in order to get rid of redness without the use of medications?

Instead of welding, compresses can be made with decoction of medicinal herbs. Pharmacy chamomile, calendula, thyme, sage - a mixture of these herbs or one of them you need to pour boiling water, insist and strain. Chilled broth is used in the same way as tea tea.

• To do eyelash extensions, you need only a professional master in the salon. As a rule, a well-founded lumbermaker is in high demand. Most likely, you will have to register for the procedure in a few weeks.
• The master must have documents confirming his knowledge and qualifications: certificates (certificates, diplomas) about training and regular passage of the relevant courses. Do not trust a self-taught person without supporting documents, even if, according to him, he has a lot of experience.
• No less important is where the procedure is conducted. The cabinet in a good salon can provide the necessary conditions for sterility and sanitary safety. Leshmeyker, who accepts clients at home or in a room that does not meet hygiene standards, will be cheaper, but it is impossible to fully guarantee the observance of sanitary norms in such conditions.
• Necessarily observance of such details as purity of hands and clothes of the master, work in sterile gloves, disposable medical cap on the head of the master and client of the salon, clean protective sheets.
• Another necessary condition is sterility of tools. At the slightest doubt in the purity of the tool, you do not have to be shy to ask for additional processing.
• The same goes for the eyelash brush - it's a one-time tool. Violation of this rule is almost a 100% chance of infecting an eyelash.
• Do not try to do eyelash extension yourself!

Responsible attitude to one's own health and observance of these simple rules will help to avoid the situation when the result of the procedure is an allergic reaction, irritation after eyelash extension, red eyes. What should I do if the sanitation requirements are not met in the chosen salon or can not confirm the qualification of the leshmeyker? It is better to refuse the procedure of eyelash extensions in such a place. You can report violations by contacting the local department of Rospotrebnadzor in writing or by phone.
