Boost Lash Retention with Proper Eyelash Extension Pre-Treatment Techniques

Did you know that the final result and longevity of eyelash extensions are greatly influenced by the "pre-treatment" before the procedure? In this article, we will explain the importance of pre-treatment and the correct methods to follow. By implementing these steps, you can significantly enhance customer satisfaction!

The Importance of Pre-Treatment

Pre-treatment is the essential process before applying eyelash extensions, where the lashes are thoroughly cleansed to maximize the adhesive's bonding strength. This step is crucial for the following reasons.

• Improved Adhesion
  Removing oils and impurities from the lash surface allows the adhesive to bond more effectively, enhancing the longevity of the extensions.
  
  
• Improved Hygiene
  Improved Hygiene: By cleaning the lashes, you maintain hygiene around the eyes and reduce the risk of infections.
  
  
• Increased Longevity
  Proper pre-treatment ensures the extensions stay in place for a longer period, improving overall durability.

Items Needed for Pre-Treatment

The following items are necessary for pre-treatment．

• Remover or cleansing
  To remove oils and makeup residue from the natural lashes.
  
  
• Pre-Treatment Solution
  To prepare the lash surface and enhance the adhesive’s bonding strength.
  
  
• Micro Fiber Brush
  Convenient for carefully removing dirt and impurities from small, hard-to-reach areas.

Correct Pre-Treatment Procedure

• Lash Cleaning
  Use a cleanser to thoroughly remove eye makeup.
  
  
• Oil Removal
  Use a pre-treatment solution to cleanse the lash surface and remove any oil.
  
  
• Drying
  Allow the lashes to dry completely before starting the procedure.

If makeup has been applied, UV cream (sunscreen) is on, or there is makeup residue, be sure to perform a "cleansing" before pre-treatment to thoroughly remove any dirt and oils from the lashes.

Risks of Inadequate Pre-Treatment

Neglecting pre-treatment can lead to the following issues.

• Extensions Falling Off Quickly
  Dirt and impurities interfere with the glue, weakening its adhesive strength.
  
  
• Customer Dissatisfaction
  Poor retention of extensions can lead to a loss of trust from clients. 
  
  
• Skin Problems
  Dirt and oil can increase the risk of inflammation and irritation.
