Eyes play a vital role in changing your appearance; vision can be corrected with the help of power glasses, and your appearance can be elevated. But what about the eyelashes? With the advanced medical facilities, Mitra Eye Hospital has started procedures that can correct your discomfort of weak eyelashes. With serums, you will get the desired results in four weeks, and applying these serums will be a painless solution for your eyelashes.
These serums include several active ingredients that are applied at the base of eyelashes, which are natural hair follicles. These ingredients will help you nurture and build the follicles, which will assist in stimulating the growth of thicker eyelashes. However, our experts use these serums with caution as sometimes there is uncertainty in the quality of the ingredients. In some cases, we also suggest our patients use glaucoma eye drops, which also assist in the growth of eyelashes.
Eyelash serums are a better option for healthy eyelashes, but they have some negative effects. We apply these serums to the eyelashes, which are very close to the delicate eye, and sometimes you get a burning sensation in your eyes or skin. This can lead to redness or swelling around your eyelids. Some other side effects of this serum in people are allergic reactions, causing itching or watery eyes, inflammation or a change in pigmentation, which causes dark circles around the eyes. Another worry after your eyelash treatment is that some changes could occur in the look of your eyes due to the weakness in the eyelids.
We have some other treatment options which could be essential to add more volume to the eyelashes. The other option is the Lash Lift process, in which we use a curved silicone tool to lift and shape the eyelashes. This method is used to individually move each lash away from the eye, which gives it natural appearance for a long time. There are different types and sizes of silicone tools. After using these tools, some chemicals are applied which are harmless. You have to follow some post-treatment guidelines like no contact of water with the eyelashes. The Lash Lift usually lasts up to six or eight weeks.
Some reasons not to use the eyelash serum is if you have problems such as conjunctivitis, macular oedema and uveitis. Further eyelash treatment can cause severe inflammation or swelling of the eye structures. Plus, you need to take special care if you wear contact lenses because the serum can collect on the lenses, which could be uncomfortable for the eyes and sometimes even cause eye infections.
At Mitra Eye Hospital, we assure you that you will be able to see the results yourself if you prefer our treatment options.
