If you’re considering eyelash extensions, you have a choice between the new UV LED Lashes technology and the classic method. Let’s compare them so you can decide what suits you best.

Extension process

Traditional method:

The technician applies adhesive to an artificial lash and attaches it to your natural lash. The adhesive dries in the air, which takes some time. The procedure can last 2-3 hours.

UV LED Lashes:

The process is similar, but a special adhesive is used that sets under ultraviolet light. The technician attaches the lash and immediately secures it with light. This speeds up the process – it usually takes 1-2 hours.

Comfort during the procedure

Traditional method:

You may smell the adhesive, which some find unpleasant. The procedure is lengthy, which can be tiring.

UV LED Lashes:

The smell is minimal or absent. The procedure is shorter, which is more comfortable for the client.

Result longevity

Traditional method:

Lashes usually last 3-4 weeks before needing a touch-up.

UV LED Lashes:

Thanks to the properties of the adhesive and the securing method, lashes often last longer – up to 5-6 weeks.

Aftercare

Traditional method:

You can’t wet your lashes for 24-48 hours after the extension. You need to avoid saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools in the first few days.

UV LED Lashes:

You can wet your lashes immediately after the procedure. There are fewer restrictions in the first days after the extension.

Appearance

Traditional method:

Allows for creating different effects – from natural to bold and dramatic.

UV LED Lashes:

Also provides a wide range of effects. Some believe that the lashes look more natural due to the properties of the adhesive.

Conclusion

The choice between UV LED Lashes and traditional extensions depends on your priorities. If you value speed of procedure, comfort, and are willing to pay a bit more – UV LED Lashes could be an excellent choice. The prices for UV LED Lashes include not only materials but also the work of highly qualified specialists. You’re paying for safety, comfort, and a guaranteed superior result.

If you prefer tried-and-tested methods and affordability is important – classic extensions remain a good option.
