LASH LIFT CONTRAINDICATIONS

A contraindication is a condition or factor that serves as a reason to withhold a certain medical treatment due to the harm that it would cause the client. 

Contraindications for a Lash Lift include but are not limited to*:

  • Pregnancy during the first trimester - If you’re in the first trimester, we won’t be able to perform the treatment as it has not been clinically approved for women who are pregnant within this period
  • ​Eye Infections/Disorders
  • Recent eye surgery
  • Allergy to product - You have had a history of previous allergic reactions to lash lifting. If you’re allergic to eyelash extensions you still might be able to do a lash lift. 
  • Ultra-Sensitive Skin - Not suitable for treatment
  • Hay fever sufferers - Not suitable for treatment as you won't be able to rub your eyes for 24/48 hours. If your eyes are irritated they may be prone to watering and this will hinder the process and I won't be able to perform the lash lift
  • Watery eyes - Not suitable for treatment as the watery eyes will hinder the process and can cause the product to go in your eyes
  • Unable to tolerate people working closely with your eyes - A lash lift requires me to work very closely with your eyes. If you have a tendency to not like people going near or touching your eyelids then this would be a factor and you won't be able to go ahead with the lash lift. 
  • Conjunctivitis - Not suitable for treatment
  • Your eyes are inflamed, have a stye or are infected -  Your eye area needs to be completely healthy for any treatments to be safely applied. 
  • Using prescribed medicated eye drops- Not suitable for treatment
  • Some medications - You are on hormonal medication. For example roaccutane, thyroid medication. These types of medications make it hard to predict how effective the lash lifting solution will be. It isn't recommend during this period to avoid disappointment
  • Recent Laser Eye surgery -  In the previous six weeks. Within this period, your eyes are still in the healing process, and any additional eye treatment can cause irritation.
