The Benefits of UV Eyelash Extensions

The UV eyelash extension method is increasingly appreciated by lash artists and clients. Although it initially raised some concerns, there is no doubt that it is a safe and effective solution today. UV technology offers many advantages that will revolutionize your work.

• Faster working time: Thanks to the immediate curing of the glue, your work is quicker and more efficient.

• Long-lasting effect: Your clients will enjoy beautiful lashes for a longer time.

• Lower allergy risk: The UV method is safer, with minimal vapor emission, making it ideal for clients with sensitive eyes or allergies.

• Effective work in all conditions: No matter the temperature or humidity, the result is always perfect.

What UV Lamps are Available on the Market?

With the increasing popularity of UV technology, new types of UV lamps have appeared on the market. Today, you can find stationary lamps, headlamps, attachments for tweezers, and wrist-mounted lamps for lash artists.

To best meet the needs of lash artists, we listen to the opinions of our instructors. That’s why we offer a stationary lamp — combining convenience, stability, and comfort in one.

Why Choose Noble Lashes’ Stationary Lamp?

• Stable: The wide base makes the lamp stable, providing a solid foundation for your work.

• Mobile: The lamp’s base features wheels, so you can easily move it around during the treatment without effort or noise. The swivel arm allows you to place it in the most comfortable position.

• Comfortable to work with: Activated by a quiet foot pedal, so you don’t need to use your hands during the procedure.

• Adjustable light: The lamp has a removable lens, allowing you to adjust the light beam to small, medium, or large sizes.

• Replaceable head: One head lasts for approximately 37,500 treatments, after which you can easily replace just the head.

• Safety: The Noble Lashes UV lamp is certified for safety and complies with EU, CE, and RoHS standards.

What to Look for When Choosing a UV Lamp?

When choosing the right UV lamp — stationary, handheld, or as a small flashlight — depends on your comfort. To make sure the lamp does its job and effectively cures the glue, keep these key parameters in mind:

1. Lamp power: To ensure quick and efficient curing, the lamp should have a light wavelength between 395–400 nm.

2. Light intensity: The lamp should have adjustable light strength, allowing you to switch from a strong to a more dispersed beam.

3. Lamp size: It’s important that the arm of the stationary lamp is flexible and long enough to reach both of your client's eyes.

4. Type of light: UV lamps with white light instead of purple light are gaining popularity. Some say white light is gentler on the eyes, while others prefer it for convenience.

White or Purple Light in a UV Lamp?

UV lamps with white light were created with eye comfort in mind. The main difference between the two is the curing time: purple light cures the glue almost instantly, which speeds up the work. White light requires holding it over the lash cluster for about 1-2 seconds, which is better for beginner lash artists as it helps avoid significant errors.
At Noble Lashes, we want to offer you a choice, so we’ll soon be introducing a version of the lamp with white light.

How to Work with a UV Lamp?

1. Assemble all lamp parts according to the instructions.

2. Use the adapter from the set to connect the lamp to the power supply.

3. Position the lamp head about 15–20 cm from the client's face.

4. To activate the light, press the foot pedal and wait for 1–4 seconds.

Precautions When Using a UV Lamp

To ensure safety when working with a UV lamp, remember these important guidelines:

• Protect the client's eyes: Use special silicone pads or tape for eyelash extensions to cover the eyes.

• Protect your own eyes: Always wear UV protective glasses to shield yourself from UV radiation.

• Replace the LED head on time: An old head may shine weaker, causing improper curing of the glue and potential irritation for the client.

• Take care of the lamp’s cables: Ensure the cables are in good condition, and regularly clean the lamp to prevent dust buildup.

Summary

A UV lamp is a modern solution that enhances precision and results in longer-lasting eyelash extensions. Choosing the right model is crucial for comfort and efficiency. With the Noble Lashes UV lamp, you can work faster, safer, and with guaranteed perfect results.
