Generally, the eyelash extension process takes around two hours, depending on the level of complexity of the type of extension you want. In the eyelash extension procedure, additional eyelashes will be installed one by one attached to the original eyelashes. It’s not surprising that the installation process takes a relatively long time.

With an eyelash regeneration cycle of 6 – 8 weeks, eyelash extensions will also last approximately the same time because they fall out at the same time as the original eyelashes. However, these extra eyelashes can also become damaged or fall out more quickly if you don’t care for them. Avoid rubbing the eye area so that eyelashes don’t get damaged or fall out easily.
What if the glue used gets into the eyes?

During the process of installing additional eyelashes, your eyes must be completely closed. So, the possibility of glue getting into the eye is very small and almost impossible. However, to maintain safety and to anticipate bad things that might happen, the glue used in the eyelash extension procedure is guaranteed to be safe.
Can the procedure still be continued when the eyes start to water?

Watery eyes can occur during the process of installing false eyelashes. If your eyeballs start to feel itchy and watery, you should immediately tell the therapist. A reaction like this can occur if you have an allergy to the glue used. Usually, the glue will be replaced with one containing a different material to reduce the impact of the allergies you experience.
How long should you avoid direct contact with water?

Because the eyelash extension procedure uses glue as an adhesive, you are strongly advised to avoid direct water contact with your face for the first 24 hours. Water will weaken the adhesive power of the glue and shed the eyelashes that have just been installed.
Is it permissible to use mascara after an eyelash extension procedure?

The use of mascara on eyelashes that have undergone an eyelash extension procedure is permitted with several notes. One of them is the recommended use of mascara only on the tips of the eyelashes. This is to avoid thickening at the base of the eyelashes which makes them heavy and can fall out or clump.
Can the eyelash extension procedure damage natural eyelashes?

This is a question that often arises and has been believed by some people. The answer to this question is “no”. As long as the eyelash extension procedure is carried out correctly by a professional and uses recommended safe materials, your natural eyelashes will be safe. Moreover, eyelash regeneration is also relatively fast, so your eyelashes will return to normal after 8 weeks.
Those are 7 questions about eyelash extension procedures that are often sought after. In essence, the eyelash extension procedure is guaranteed not to harm your health as long as it is carried out in the right way and by experienced professionals.
