Is it possible to combine an eyelash thickening with an eyelash extension?
An eyelash thickening can be combined with an eyelash extension. For professional eyelash thickening, artificial eyelashes are usually used, which are similar to natural eyelashes in length and color. In this way a natural look can be achieved.
However, if you want to achieve an eyelash extension at the same time, you can use longer artificial eyelashes. It is important to use a high number of artificial eyelashes so that the difference to the shorter natural eyelashes is not visible. Eyelash thickening from the drugstore can also be used at the same time for lash extension.
In this case you should also choose longer artificial eyelashes, which are applied next to the natural eyelashes. An eyelash thickening with eyelash serum, on the other hand, is usually not accompanied by an eyelash extension. The eyelash serum leads to a stronger growth of the lashes, which makes the lashes thicker. Only when every single eyelash is strengthened by the serum, a greater length of the natural eyelashes can be achieved.
Is it possible to achieve a thickening of the lashes through a permanent make-up?
As the name suggests, permanent make-up is a form of make-up that does not need to be reapplied regularly. Permanent make-up is often used for eyelid lines or eyebrows, for example. However, permanent make-up can also be used to achieve the effect of an eyelash thickening. In this case the eyelashes themselves are not thickened, but the make-up only creates an optical effect, which makes the lashes look thicker. In this case, colored dots are placed between the individual lashes, these make the lashes look thicker due to the richer color.
Possible side effects of eyelash thickening?
The most important side effects of eyelash thickening are due to the materials used. Thus, all types of eyelash thickening can cause side effects. For example, allergic reactions to the substances used, such as artificial eyelashes, glue, make-up or eyelash serums, often occur.
If you are allergic to a certain substance, you should inform yourself in advance about the different variants of eyelash thickening and can thus avoid a skin reaction when thickening eyelashes. As the eyelash thickening process is carried out in the immediate vicinity of the eye, side effects can also occur on the eye. This is especially the case if materials such as glue or eyelash serum get into the eye.
Depending on the tolerance, burning, itching, pain and reddening of the eye can occur. Damage to the cornea of the eye is also possible. If the cornea directly in front of the pupil is affected, this can lead to impaired vision.
In the case of eyelash thickening, there are major points of criticism, especially at the eyelash sera, due to the side effects. To promote the growth of the eyelashes, prostaglandins are used. These may have effects like real drugs, but in the form of the lash serums they are not subject to the strict drug regulations and therefore come onto the market in a less controlled way.
