Is it safe to get eyelash extensions while pregnant?
Generally, it is not recommended to get eyelash extensions during pregnancy as it may lead to infection with pathogenic bacteria, potentially harming both the pregnant woman and the fetus. During pregnancy, as the fetus is not fully developed, it is sensitive to external stimuli. Eyelash extensions typically use animal hairs, and if not properly disinfected, they may cause pathogenic infections, leading to keratitis or conjunctivitis. Pathogenic bacteria entering the pregnant woman's body may increase the risk of miscarriage or preterm delivery. The glue used for eyelash extensions contains certain chemical components that can easily irritate the skin, causing allergies, redness, and inflammation. These chemicals may also have an impact on the fetus. Therefore, to ensure the health and proper development of the pregnant woman and the fetus, it is not advisable to get eyelash extensions during pregnancy.
Pregnant women should avoid exposure to toxic substances during pregnancy, such as irritating cosmetics, hair dyeing, and perms. They should not take medication randomly during pregnancy. If they experience any discomfort, they should promptly visit a hospital to identify the cause and take targeted medication under the guidance of a doctor to avoid affecting the fetus.
