Product Overview
What Is UV Lash Glue?
Unlike traditional lash adhesives that air-dry over time, UV lash glue is a special adhesive that requires UV light to cure. This glue contains photoinitiators, which are compounds that react to UV light, initiating a rapid polymerisation process that hardens the glue.
What Is Uv Lash Lamp?
A UV lash lamp is a specialized tool designed to emit ultraviolet (UV) light, used for curing or hardening UV-sensitive adhesives. In terms of lash extensions, this UV lash lamp ensures that the UV lash glue sets quickly and firmly, providing a robust bond between the natural lash and the extension.
Is Uv Lash Lamp, Eyelash Light, UV Lash Glue Safe?
Yes, UV lash glue and UV lash lamps are generally safe for both clients and lash artists when used correctly.
UV lash lamps typically emit a specific wavelength of ultraviolet (UV) light, usually ranging from 395nm to 405nm. This falls within the UVA spectrum, which has a lower energy level compared to UVB and UVC rays. While UVA rays penetrate deeper than UVB, prolonged or excessive exposure can still lead to skin aging and increase the risk of certain skin cancers. However, reputable UV lash lamp manufacturers design their products for safe application times, minimizing the risk of overexposure. Clients must be protected with upper and lower eyeshields.
When wearing protective eyewear that blocks the specific UV wavelength emitted by the UV lash lamp, this protects the lash technician from potential eye damage. For clients, skilled lash artists will have strategic positioning of the UV lash lamp, so it will offer more protection for them.
