Eye Pad Usage Guidelines For UV Led Eyelash Extension Procedures

Instructions for Using White LED Eye Patches in UV LED Eyelash Extensions

When using White LED Eye Patches, always apply a gel pad or silicone eye patch underneath first, then place the White LED Eye Patch on top.

Following this procedure ensures the following benefits:

1. Protects the Under-Eye Area and the Client's Eyes

The primary function of the White LED Eye Patch is to reflect and direct LED light toward the lash line, helping the UV adhesive cure more efficiently.

However, unlike gel pads or silicone eye patches, the White LED Eye Patch is not designed to be soft or conform closely to the skin. Therefore, a gel pad or silicone eye patch should always be applied underneath to protect the delicate under-eye area and provide a safe distance between the skin, the eyes, and the LED light source.

2. Secures the Lower Lashes

Gel pads and silicone eye patches adhere well to the skin, effectively isolating and securing the lower lashes throughout the extension procedure.

Since the White LED Eye Patch is placed over the base pad, it should not be relied upon to hold the lower lashes in place by itself.

3. Enhances Light Reflection

The white surface of the White LED Eye Patch reflects LED light back toward the lash roots, improving the curing performance of UV adhesive.

If the White LED Eye Patch is placed directly on the skin, it may shift during the procedure, resulting in uneven light distribution and reduced curing efficiency.

Using Black Gel Pads

When using black gel pads, an additional silicone eye patch underneath is generally not required because the black gel pad itself is designed to provide the essential functions:

• Soft cushioning to protect the under-eye area.
• Excellent adhesion for securely isolating the lower lashes.
• A black surface that absorbs more light, helping reduce light exposure to the client's eyes for greater comfort during the procedure.

However, when working with a UV LED eyelash extension system, one important consideration should be noted:

• White gel pads reflect LED light more effectively, allowing UV adhesive to cure faster and more evenly.
• Black gel pads absorb more light, which may slightly reduce curing speed depending on the LED lamp output and the UV adhesive being used.

Recommended Usage

If you are using the manufacturer's White LED Eye Patch System, it is recommended to apply a transparent silicone eye patch or gel pad first, followed by the White LED Eye Patch, as instructed by the manufacturer.

If you are using a standard black gel pad, a single layer is generally sufficient without an additional silicone eye patch, provided that the client's eyes are adequately protected and the UV adhesive cures properly according to the recommended curing procedure.

For UV LED lamps operating at a wavelength of 405 nm, such as the FL009 LED Lamp, white reflective patches are generally recommended because they enhance light reflection toward the lash line, promoting more consistent and efficient curing of the UV adhesive.
