What to Do If You Have an Allergic Reaction to Eyelash Extensions

Allergic reactions to eyelash extensions, though rare, can happen. If you experience redness, swelling, itching, or discomfort after getting your lashes done, here’s what you should do:

Step 1: Head to Urgent Care
If you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, it’s crucial to seek medical attention immediately. Urgent care centers can assess your symptoms and help manage the reaction, whether it's mild or more severe. They may recommend antihistamines or topical treatments to ease the discomfort.

Step 2: Let the Allergies Subside
After seeing a doctor, give your skin time to heal. Avoid any further irritation or contact with the lash area, and follow your doctor’s advice on managing the allergy symptoms. It’s essential to let the inflammation and discomfort subside before moving on to the next step.

Step 3: Contact Your Lash Artist for Removal
Once your allergies are under control, reach out to your lash artist to schedule a removal appointment. Waiting a couple of days ensures the reaction has calmed down enough for safe and effective lash removal. Most lash artists will be understanding and help you safely remove the extensions.
