Is there any harm in getting eyelash extensions?
Disease description:
My own eyelashes are somewhat short, and I would like to get eyelash extensions. Therefore, I would like to know: are there any risks or harms associated with eyelash extensions?

Eyelash planting, also known as eyelash extension, is a cosmetic technique that involves attaching artificial lashes or human hair fibers one by one onto natural lashes to enhance thickness and curl. Although it can instantly enhance the attractiveness of the eyes, there are also potential risks:
1. Eye allergies: The adhesive used may contain ingredients that can cause allergic reactions, such as formaldehyde, leading to symptoms like redness, itching, or allergic reactions of the eyelids.
2. Eyelash damage: The extension process may pull or damage existing lashes, causing premature shedding and potentially affecting follicle health.
3. Risk of infection: If sterile techniques or tools are not used properly, bacteria or fungi may be introduced, leading to eye infections.
4. Eye discomfort: Eyelashes that are too heavy or unsuitable may cause eye discomfort, such as stinging, foreign body sensation, or even blurred vision.
5. Ongoing maintenance: Extended lashes require regular maintenance, as they will gradually fall out. Improper removal can also damage natural lashes.
If any discomfort occurs after the procedure, discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice.
