Women are also learning that eyelash extensions can cause hair loss resulting in eyelashes so thin that women feel they have no choice but to continue the cycle. Indeed, the College of Optometrists in England has warned that “repeated use of eyelash extensions can cause traction alopecia, a condition where the hair falls out due to excessive tension placed on the hair shaft. As a result, this can damage the hair follicle, which can slow down and even cease production of hair.”careprost eyelash0.03% is an ophthalmic solution used to lower the pressure built within the eye and is known as intraocular pressure (IOP). careprost online is used to treat glaucoma that is caused when fluid (aqueous humor) is build up in the eye.
Even temporary false eyelashes can cause trouble. Pulling false eyelashes off can also remove natural lashes if those hairs get in the way, the traction alopecia similar to that caused by extensions. False lashes can also trap dirt and bacteria, creating irritation and infection, and a reaction to the glue can cause allergic swelling of the eyelids much like the reaction Chenoweth reported. There was no puzzle to solve when mystery writer Janet Evanovich experienced problems after attending the premier of “One for the Money” last January. “They put false eyelashes on me,” Evanovich blogged, “and I had an allergic reaction to the glue. On the plus side, my eyes didn’t swell up and break out until after I saw the movie.”
Eyelash vanity is reaching even more perilous heights. On the Internet, advertisements for eyelash-transplant cosmetic surgery promise to “thicken and enhance the appearance of eyelashes.” The operation, touted as a “minor outpatient procedure” by some, involves removing hair follicles from the back of the scalp and replacing the grafts on eyelids.
