The eyelash technician can also freely change the form of eyelash extensions according to the shape of the face and eyes, which can well modify the shape of the face, enlarge and brighten the eyes, and maintain the cycle of 30-60 days.

②Applying false eyelashes, the finished false eyelashes are attached to the eyelids with eyelash glue and are applied and removed on the same day. This is a cheaper way to apply and remove false eyelashes, but they are usually of inferior quality, harming real eyelashes and causing eye allergies. It is also easy to pull your own eyelashes when removing them, causing secondary damage to your eyelashes.

Eyelash implantation, or eyelash surgery, is actually a minor surgery, which is briefly described here.

First, the doctor will cut off your own eyelashes to make it easier to open the follicles. Then, tiny hairs from your hair are taken and implanted into the eyelash follicles, and finally, you wait for recovery.

Smaller stores are generally not equipped to grow eyelashes because of the risks and the high price. Also, it is important to know that even if the hair is transplanted to the eyes, the growth cycle of the hair does not change (check the information, the cycle is 3-5 years), while the growth cycle of the eyelashes is only about 3-5 months, so they need to be trimmed regularly, otherwise, it is hard to imagine that the eyelashes grow as long as the hair.
