Allergy tests for eyelash lifting & brow lifting

In the world of beauty treatments, especially eyelash lifts and brow lifts, safety plays a crucial role. One of the most important safety measures before starting such treatment is to carry out an allergy test, also known as a patch test. This test helps to identify potential allergic reactions to the products used and thus minimize the risk for customers.

Why an allergy test is essential

Even if a customer has not previously shown any allergic reactions to cosmetic products, this may be different with the specific chemicals and ingredients used in lash and brow lifts. Patch testing is therefore an essential step to ensure that there is no allergic reaction to the products used.

However, it is important to note that even if the patch test does not show an allergic reaction, this does not provide a 100% guarantee that a reaction may not occur. The skin can react differently due to various factors. Nevertheless, the patch test offers essential initial insurance and can help avoid serious allergic reactions.

How to perform a patch test?

A patch test should be performed at least 10 - 15 minutes before the scheduled treatment. It involves applying a small amount of the product used during the lift to a small area of ​​skin, usually behind the ear or on the inside of the wrist. This area is then observed to see if a reaction such as redness, itching, or swelling occurs.
