UV lashes are a revolutionary technique for applying eyelash extensions. They utilize UV light to cure the adhesive, resulting in firmer and longer-lasting lash extensions. Here’s how it works:

Curing with UV Light:

• • The adhesive used for UV lashes is not a traditional adhesive. It has less cyanacrolate than regular adhesive and will not dry out during the application of lash extensions.  It has a photosensitive agent that cures it after 2 seconds of exposure to the light. Apply the lash with adhesive, then simply tap the foot pedal for 2 seconds.
  • This polymer will not cure until it’s exposed to UV light.
  • The UV light wavelengths cause a photochemical reaction, changing the polymer’s chemical properties.
  • As a result, the polymers cure instantly, making it easier to lash the next lash.

Safety Tips:

• DO NOT USE on any clients that have allergies to the sun
• Total exposure time for a full set is 5 minutes, with a very low strength light.
• The light is significantly less than Nail Lamps and all areas of the skin are covered with protective material
• There’s no evidence that UV lash glue is harmful but follow standard precautions
• ALWAYS use black out foam tape to protect the skin on the eyelid
• Use Cream or Gel removers for lash removal.
• Ensure the glue only goes where intended before turning on the UV lamp.
• Maintain a safe distance from the lamp and wear UV safety glasses.
