Laser Eyeliner Tattoo Removal and Eyelash Extensions. Why Is It Unsafe?
Many clients who come to us for laser permanent eyeliner removal do not understand why we require them to remove their eyelash extensions before the procedure. Some have encountered situations where other establishments perform this treatment without requiring the removal of extensions, which is why our policy may seem confusing to them.
At Laserdiuk Studio, however, we take a particularly cautious approach to laser permanent makeup removal around the eyes. The eye area is extremely delicate, and our clients’ safety always comes first.
Why don’t we perform laser permanent eyeliner removal when a client is wearing eyelash extensions?
1. The risk of laser damage to artificial lashes
Most artificial eyelashes are made from synthetic fibres that can become deformed, melt or burn when exposed to high temperatures.
During a laser treatment, energy is delivered to a specific area of the skin. Depending on the material and the conditions of the procedure, artificial lashes may also be exposed to unwanted heating. This can make the treatment more difficult to perform and increase the risk of adverse reactions around the eyes.
2. Eye safety comes first
Laser permanent eyeliner removal is performed directly on the eyelids, in close proximity to the eyeball. This makes precision, appropriate eye protection and strict adherence to safety procedures essential.
Eyelash extensions are an additional factor that must be considered when assessing whether the procedure can be performed safely.
It is important to remember that thermal injuries around the eyes can have serious consequences.
We don’t have spare eyes sitting on a shelf that we can replace if something goes wrong, so we have to take care of the ones we have.
This is not simply a matter of following our studio’s internal procedures. Above all, it is our responsibility to protect the safety of every client who places their trust in us.
How should you prepare for laser permanent eyeliner removal?
If you are planning to undergo laser permanent makeup removal, please remember to have your eyelash extensions removed before your appointment.
This allows our specialist to assess the treatment area and prepare for the procedure in accordance with the safety standards followed at our studio.
At Laserdiuk Studio, we believe that professionalism is not only about effectively removing unwanted pigment, but also about taking a responsible approach to every treatment.
