Eyelash extensions have become an increasingly popular beauty
trend in recent years. On TikTok, the hashtag #lashextensions
has over 9.4 billion views and features countless videos of
people taking their lashes to new lengths.
Unlike their predecessor false eyelashes, semi-permanent eyelash
extensions promise to make your lashes look fuller, longer and
darker for weeks — no daily reapplication or mascara necessary.
Are there any health risks to the eye? We spoke to experts about how eyelash extensions work, the possible risks, and how to get lash extensions safely.
Eyelash extensions are tiny fibers resembling which are glued
one by one to individual natural eyelashes at the base of the
hair along the lash line, Dr. Ashley Brissette, spokesperson for
the American Academy of Ophthalmology and assistant professor at
Weill Cornell Medicine and New York Presbyterian Hospital, tells
TODAY.com.
The extensions are glued using an eyelash extension adhesive,
Brissette explains, which contain various ingredients to hold
the lash in place. considers eyelash extensions and adhesives to
be cosmetic products, which means they must adhere to cosmetic
safety and labeling requirements.

Since eyelash extensions are glued to the natural eyelashes, they typically last until the eyelashes fall out, which happens in cycles like the hair on your head. "The lifecycle of eyelashes is about two months, so if you're getting them glued to the base of the lash, on average the (lash extensions) last about (six to eight weeks)," says Brissette.
