What is eyelash extension? What is the difference between eyelash extension and eyelash extension?

Nowadays, women who love beauty are not willing to let go of even their eyelashes. A technology called eyelash transplanting is very popular now, but do you really understand what eyelash transplanting is and what is the difference between it and eyelash extensions? Let's learn about it together today.

Eyelash transplantation means that the doctor will first remove the healthy hair follicle tissue from the occipital region through microsurgery, and then specifically separate the hair follicle tissue. Finally, the hair follicles are transplanted to the eyelid area. After the hair follicles survive, new eyelashes will grow naturally, retaining all the characteristics of the original hair, and the original eyelashes will die. After the new eyelashes grow out, they can grow steadily.

1. The fundamental principles are different

The principle of eyelash grafting is to use professional eyelash adhesive to bond to the surface of real eyelashes, and implement one-to-one grafting. The principle of eyelash planting is to transplant your own hair follicles to your eyelashes.

2. Different materials

Eyelash grafting uses artificial fiber false eyelashes or eyelashes made of dog hair, pig hair, or mink hair as grafting materials. Eyelash transplantation is a doctor's transplantation of hair follicles from the back of the head directly to the eye area. After successful transplantation, because it is your own hair follicles, it retains all the characteristics of the original hair follicles. The eyelashes that grow out will also be cylindrical like hair, and will not be short and pointed like your own eyelashes. Therefore, after the transplanted eyelashes grow to the appropriate length, they need to be trimmed regularly, and the eyelashes need to be permed to ensure that they are curved and curled.

3. Keep the time different

Grafted eyelashes only last for a short time, usually about a month, because they are glued with special glue, so they need to be glued regularly to maintain the effect. Planted eyelashes are permanent and not easy to fall off, because the transplanted hair is your own hair, and the survival rate of hair follicles is very high, usually above 95%. After transplantation, they will be generated and metabolized like hair, so there is no need to worry about falling off. It is truly a one-time solution, while grafted eyelashes are temporary.

First, the hazards of eyelash grafting: allergic reaction

Eyelash extensions require adhesive glue, and many people's skin will have allergic reactions to glue, resulting in red spots, erythema, and constant tearing. This is a common sense that must be understood before eyelash extensions are done. Therefore, before eyelash extensions are done, a skin test must be done to confirm that there is no allergy before proceeding.

Second, the harm of grafting eyelashes: long inverted eyelashes

Many people have had eyelash transplants, and the results were very good at the time. However, as time goes by, after transplanting eyelashes, because the direction of eyelash growth is difficult to control, it is very easy for the upper eyelashes to grow downwards and the lower eyelashes to grow upwards. As the long eyelashes grow longer, they prick the eyes and grow into inverted eyelashes. Inverted eyelashes can make the eyes very uncomfortable, always feeling pricked, and tears will flow at any time. In the later stage, it may also cause inflammation in other parts of the eyes.

Third, the harm of grafting eyelashes: conjunctivitis

When getting eyelash extensions, beauticians may remind you that the effect of eyelash extensions generally lasts for about three months, so many people think that it is just a temporary measure, and even if there is pain and discomfort, just bear with it and it will pass. Many eyelash extension beauticians will also emphasize that most women will feel itchy in the corners of their eyes after getting false eyelashes, but after a few days, the eyes will adapt and there will be no problem, and it will not cause harm to the eyes. However, experts emphasize that if you feel uncomfortable after getting eyelash extensions, you must not bear it. Because products of unknown origin for eyelash extensions are most likely to cause eye allergies and infections, Zhang Yalin, director of the Department of Ophthalmology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, said that many women who received false eyelashes went to the hospital for an eye examination and learned that the false eyelashes caused eye infections and acute keratitis, and even the risk of blindness.

Fourth, the harm of eyelash grafting: corneal inflammation and blind eyelash grafting may cause conjunctivitis

False eyelashes are often not clean and can easily cause corneal inflammation, redness and swelling. Some irregular manufacturers use pig or dog hair, and some even use chemicals directly. Eyes are extremely sensitive organs. If used for a long time, it can cause blockage of the meibomian glands and chronic inflammation.

Eyelash extensions are charged per strand, usually 6-8 yuan per strand, you can do the math yourself. Some say that eyelash extensions cost anywhere from a few dozen yuan to a hundred yuan. Eyelash extensions involve microsurgery to remove healthy hair follicle tissue from the back of the head, and then carefully separate the hair follicle tissue and transplant it to the transplanted area.
