Application of Adhesives in Cosmetology

Abstract

The current state of the cosmetology industry in the field of eyelash extension services is analyzed. It is concluded that the popularity of this type of service, despite the negative impact on eye health, will grow in the near future. The main symptoms that occur when using this procedure are analyzed. Among the most common symptoms should be noted a feeling of heaviness of the eyelids, burning, discomfort associated with a decrease in the field of view. It is noted that despite a number of works in this area to date, there is insufficient research, both from the point of view of the analysis of clinical cases, and from the point of view of developing safer adhesive compositions. An analysis is made of the characteristics of adhesives used in domestic cosmetology rooms. At the same time, attention was paid to the following: country of production, composition, texture and texture, setting speed, wearing time, shelf life, recommended temperature and humidity level. A typical composition of glue for eyelash extension contains the following components: cyanoacrylate and its derivatives (± 90 %); polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) (± 6 %); black pigment - carbon black (± 4 %).
