Interested women are worried about how they look. Bearing a child is the most wonderful period for each member of the fair sex and at the same time very exciting, since at this time various changes occur, both in the body and in appearance. Trying to look their best, many women think about laminating eyelashes during pregnancy, but they are afraid that the procedure will harm the unborn baby.
Eyelash lamination: what is it for?
Such a cosmetic procedure, like lamination of eyelashes, allows you to make them more fluffy, shiny and long. Beauticians claim that it also strengthens the structure and moisturizes the cilia, which become a real decoration of the eyes, making them more expressive.
Formulations for laminating eyelashes do not affect the skin around the eyes, so women are allowed to perform the procedure in the position. In addition to the cosmetic effect, lamination contributes to:
- restoring the structure of eyelashes;
- enhancing growth and strengthening eyelashes;
- additional nutrition, which protects against hair loss.
During the procedure, a heated composition is applied to the cilia. The mixture is strengthened with keratin, then the eyelashes are coated with the paint of the desired shade. The duration of the procedure is about 40 minutes.
It should be borne in mind that after the composition is washed off, the eyelashes will be stiff. After 2-3 hours, you can enjoy the desired effect.
Stages of the procedure
Lamination of eyelashes during pregnancy takes place in several stages:
- cosmetics are removed so that the active substances can freely penetrate the structure of the hair;
- a special preparatory composition is applied, which smoothes and softens the skin;
- a protector form is selected, to which cilia are glued;
- fixing the protector on the upper eyelid, glue eyelashes with natural glue, which can then be easily removed;
- nourishing serum is applied to the eyelashes, containing natural oils and vitamins, as well as a coloring pigment that gives the desired shade;
- cilia are covered with liquid keratin, penetrating the structure of the hair and strengthening it from the inside (keratin itself creates the effect of long and fluffy eyelashes);
- when the active ingredients dry, the tread and residues of the substance covering the eyelashes are removed.
Thanks to the procedure, sleeping cells and bulbs are activated, as a result of which the growth of young cilia is accelerated.
Is it possible to do lamination of eyelashes pregnant
Professional masters claim that lamination to expectant mothers is carried out exclusively by natural preparations, which contributes to the healing and restoration of eyelashes.
Among them:
- keratin, which is a protein compound (this substance is present in the structure of hair, nails, eyelashes);
- vitamins and minerals;
- vegetable oils.
In addition to the main ones, the laminating agent also includes additional components that strengthen and regenerate eyelashes.
Compositions for laminating eyelashes are applied only to natural cilia, without affecting the mucous membrane. In this case, the woman does not have pain.
Lamination and first trimester
To avoid negative consequences and get the desired effect from lamination of eyelashes, the procedure time must be chosen correctly. The first trimester, according to doctors, is the most dangerous period, which is accompanied by various troubles, both for a woman and for the fetus. The expectant mother sharply changes the hormonal background, her mood worsens, she is tormented by toxicosis. Miscarriage or bleeding is also possible. In this regard, in the first trimester, it is advisable to abandon the procedure.
Reviews of lamination of eyelashes during pregnancy indicate that, due to changes in the woman’s body, the result can be completely unpredictable:
- the shape of the eyelashes can change unpredictably (they will be too curled or straight);
- if dyes are used, you can get an uneven shade or not the one that was expected;
- the effect of lamination may be completely absent.
Second trimester lamination
In the second trimester, there is still a risk of an unpredictable result from the procedure. According to the masters, lamination of eyelashes is better to be transferred to a safer time (third trimester). But the future mother and a half months may not worry about how beautiful her eyes look, especially since after the birth of the crumbs there will not be much time left for caring for herself.
Third trimester procedure
The most suitable period for laminating eyelashes during pregnancy is the last trimester. The main thing is that there are no contraindications and natural ingredients are used.
It is advisable for the expectant mother to carry out the procedure about a month before the birth. After birth, the crumbs will save time on makeup. In addition, some young mothers have an allergic reaction to cosmetics, which makes it impossible to use mascara.
What professionals say
Many expectant mothers would like to receive an answer from professionals to the question whether lamination of eyelashes is harmful during pregnancy. Given that natural means are used for laminating eyelashes during pregnancy, as well as the absence of pain during the procedure, we can say that there is no danger to the expectant mother or the fetus (provided there are no contraindications).
It is forbidden to carry out manipulations if:
- there is an individual intolerance to the components of the tools used;
- Ear surgery or eye injuries;
- eye diseases are present, especially inflammatory ones.
Precautionary measures
To ensure that the eyelash lamination procedure during pregnancy is safe, you must follow the rules:
- apply exclusively to certified salons, where they adhere to sanitary and hygienic norms and rules;
- inform the master about his situation, specifying the trimester;
- to test for allergies to the drugs used. The specialist should offer this procedure to the expectant mother;
- make sure that only natural components are present in the laminating composition;
- reduce the amount of coloring pigment or abandon it altogether.
Possible consequences
Lamination during pregnancy, like any cosmetic procedure, can have negative consequences. Therefore, before you go to the salon, you need to think carefully about your decision. The risk of side effects increases if a woman decides to undergo a procedure without considering her contraindications.
In some cases, as a result of the procedure:
- an allergic reaction develops, which is manifested by redness of the eyes;
- a woman suffers from itching of the mucous membranes of the eyes;
- eyelashes may fall out;
- hair condition may worsen;
- eyelashes may become lighter than before the procedure;
- the structure of the cilia may be disturbed.
If the future mother did not know about her situation
It also happens that a woman has already done lamination of eyelashes, and only after that she learned about her pregnancy. If at the same time it was possible to achieve the desired effect, and there are no allergic reactions, then you can not worry. The second procedure can be carried out already in a safe period.
Lamination of eyelashes during pregnancy is allowed. The main thing is to choose the right period for the procedure in order to avoid unpredictable consequences and trust only a certified specialist.
