Avoiding Eye Infection Caused by Lash Tinting

Lash Tinting and Eye Infection

In the past, eyelash tinting has been proven to be dangerous, so don’t risk your eyesight and the possibility of blindness with cheap or improper techniques. If you get dye into your eye, blindness may occur, especially if you do not flush the dye out immediately.

Therefore, a well-trained aesthetician should be responsible for the procedure of eyelash tinting in order to prevent any accidents. This will allow you to keep your eyes close the whole time, which will greatly lessen the chance of chemicals running into your exposed eyes.

Preparing for Lash Tinting

A henna or hair dye kit should not be tried at home on the eyelashes. If the patient is suffering from any eye irritation or infection at the time, then the lash tinting should not be done. Before the procedure begins, you must also take out your contact lenses, and eye makeup should be removed as well.

Reducing Risk during the Procedure

Then, during the entire eyelash tinting procedure, the patient’s eye should be kept closed. After that, before the patient opens her eyes, the eyelashes should be rinsed thoroughly to ensure that none of the dye product remains on them. However, no matter what precautions are taken, you should keep in mind that this procedure has not been approved the FDA and therefore has not been approved to be safe for its intended use.

Eyelash tinting can be done in as few as fifteen minutes, so it's a fairly quick procedure. A deeper and more dramatic color will result if the dye is left on longer. It could last up to six weeks if it is done correctly, and the results will gradually fade as your lashes fall out and then re-grow over time. Many salons and spas offer lash tinting, even if they don't advertise it, and many offer discounts if you get both your eyelashes and eyebrows tinted at the same time.
