Lash epilation refers to the removal of eyelashes, typically performed for medical or cosmetic reasons. Methods include:
- Plucking: Removing individual lashes with tweezers.
- Waxing: Applying wax to remove multiple lashes at once.
- Threading: Using a thread to remove lashes.
Lash epilation can be used to:
- Treat trichiasis: A condition where lashes grow inward, causing irritation.
- Prepare for surgery: In some cases, lash removal may be necessary before eye surgery.
- Cosmetic purposes: Some individuals may choose lash epilation for aesthetic reasons.
It’s essential to have lash epilation performed by a trained professional to minimize risks and ensure proper aftercare.
