At RC Lash, we use the latest LED/UV-curing adhesive system to deliver a safer, faster, and more reliable lash experience.
Unlike traditional glues, our LED/UV adhesive cures instantly under light, producing virtually no fumes and eliminating irritation often caused by slow-drying formulas.
This means stronger retention, better comfort, and lashes that stay beautiful longer — ideal for sensitive eyes and anyone who values premium care.

How LED/UV Technology Works for Eyelash Extensions

LED/UV lash technology uses a specially formulated adhesive that cures instantly under a safe LED or UV light. Unlike traditional lash glue, which relies on air or humidity to dry, this system allows technicians to precisely control when and how the glue sets.

​

During the application, each extension is dipped in the LED/UV adhesive and carefully positioned on the natural lash. Once in place, a gentle LED/UV light is used to activate the glue, instantly bonding the extension without waiting for it to air-dry.

Why We Use LED/UV Lash Glue at RC Lash

At RC Lash, we use the latest LED/UV lash extension technology — designed to give you beautiful, longer-lasting lashes with less irritation, especially if you have sensitive eyes.

Here’s why our LED/UV system is different:

1. Gentler on Sensitive Eyes
   The LED/UV glue produces minimal fumes, which means less stinging, redness, or watering — perfect for clients who react to traditional lash glues. Instantly Cured for Comfort & Safety

2. The glue cures (sets) instantly under a soft LED/UV light, so there’s no waiting time for lashes to dry and no lingering adhesive vapours.

3. Longer-Lasting Retention
   Because curing is immediate and precise, lashes adhere more securely — giving you stronger bonds. Perfect for holidays! Please note infills still have to be done in a 3 weeks window to ensure the health of the natural lashes by removing the old, grown ones, and reapplying new lashes at the base of the natural lashes. 

4. Clean & Clear Formula
   Many LED/UV glues are carbon-black free, low-odour, and hypoallergenic, making them ideal for those with sensitive skin or allergies.

5. Works in Any Weather
   Unlike traditional glues that depend on humidity or temperature, LED/UV adhesive performs consistently in all conditions, ensuring reliable results every time.

6. More Comfortable Experience
   Faster application, less exposure to fumes, and no sticky residue mean your appointment feels calmer and more relaxing.
