Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Technical Field[0001]The present invention relates to devices and methods of performing eyelash extensions and other eyelash services.2. Background Art[0002]During the process of applying eyelash extensions or performing any eyelash procedure, a pad is used to hold down and isolate the lower eyelashes from the upper eyelashes. Several products currently exist to perform this function.[0003]Gel eye pads are manufactured overseas and sold online. They were originally designed as treatment pads (helps with wrinkles, alleviates bags under eyes) but have now crossed over to be used for holding down lower lashes during eyelash extension services. Gel eye pads do not hold lower lashes well. There is also a problem in that gel leaks into eyes from the pads and burns, resulting in irritation. Moisture from clients' tears weaken the pad's adhesive. These pads are not designed for eyelash extensions and the resulting problems are evidence of these serious design f...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The pad provides secure, hypoallergenic, and gel-free adhesion that maintains lower lashes in place without irritation, allowing for safe and efficient eyelash services, even with facial movements, and can be easily removed without residue.

Problems solved by technology

Gel eye pads do not hold lower lashes well.

There is also a problem in that gel leaks into eyes from the pads and burns, resulting in irritation.

Moisture from clients' tears weaken the pad's adhesive.

These pads are not designed for eyelash extensions and the resulting problems are evidence of these serious design flaws.

It is very time consuming to use this product.

In handling the product, it is difficult to peel and cut with the sticky side of the tape rolls.

The pad adhesive is only serviceable for one-time use, not allowing for repositioning of the pad.

Any moisture from client's tears weakens the pad's adhesive and causes sliding of the pad relative to it's preferred position.

They are not lint-free which allows the white lint fibers to stick to the dark eyelashes and irritate the eye during an eyelash extension service.

They need to be applied with tape and act as just a placeholder that lays over top of lower lashes, but do not guarantee the lower lashes will not escape and pop out from the eye pad.

Multiple steps are required to secure the eye pad after the application of the tape after placement of the silicone eye pad and it is very time consuming.

Each of the above described eyelash pads fail to hold the lashes down sufficiently as well as provides dangerous conditions to clients.
