silmälisä

Silmälisä is a Finnish term that translates to "eyelash extension" in English. It refers to artificial lashes that are applied to a person's natural eyelashes to enhance their appearance. These extensions are typically made of synthetic materials such as silk, mink, or faux mink. The application process involves meticulously attaching each individual extension to a single natural lash using a specialized adhesive. This creates a fuller, longer, and more defined lash line.

The practice of applying silmälisä has gained popularity as a cosmetic enhancement, offering a way to achieve a dramatic or natural-looking lash effect without the daily need for mascara. The longevity of silmälisä varies depending on the type of extension, the adhesive used, and the individual's natural lash cycle and aftercare routine, but they typically last several weeks. Refills are usually required every two to four weeks to maintain the desired fullness as natural lashes shed and new ones grow.

Silmälisä application is performed by trained lash technicians who ensure proper hygiene and technique to prevent damage to natural lashes or irritation to the eyes. While generally considered safe, potential risks can include allergic reactions to the adhesive, temporary lash loss, or infection if not applied or maintained correctly. Careful consideration and consultation with a professional are advised before undergoing the procedure.
