The World's only A.N.S.I. approved safe device for LED lash extensions
Excerpts From the A.N.S.I. Report
“Detectible short-ultraviolet (UV-B or UV-C) and emissions at ultraviolet wavelengths below ~360 nm were not detectable. Near-infrared energy from the LEDs and the emitted far-infrared (thermal) radiant energy is insignificant. The blue-light photochemical hazard is relevant to visible LEDs.”
“The violet LED source in the Eyelash LED device – when used by a beautician according to intended-use and consistent with labeling – emits visible-ultraviolet light that is well below current guidelines for human exposure.”
“We, therefore, conclude that the Eyelash LED does not emit optical radiation that would exceed current ocular exposure limits for bright light to either the client or using beautician who follows intended use directions when applying applicable criteria. The only remaining concern would be the potential skin reaction to a client taking photosensitizing medications.”
-Excerpts from the Lynk-Gel Safety testing
Yes, the Lynk-Gel device is the only device that is certified safe by A.N.S.I. standards for radiation. It passes ANSI RP27 and IEC 62471:2006. It is also CE Certified by a 3rd party. The LED light is in the visible light spectrum, and is far below the amount of UV provided by nail gel lamps and other UV systems. The light emitted by the Lynk-Gel Device has a much lower radiance than sunlight.
The Lynk-Gel Device is completely safe for use by both artists and clients. It does emit very small amounts of UV, but it uses an L.E.D. that is completely in the visible light spectrum.
Testing has found that it is completely safe for use of artists and clients as long as they are not taking photosensitive medications or have known sensitivities to light.
No. The Lynk-Gel Device is much less powerful than nail gel lamps. The Lynk-Gel Device output is 600 times less energy than a 60 watt nail gel lamp.
Lynk-Gel is the only LED-cured gel eyelash extension method that has been extensively tested and found safe. Lynk-Gel has been tested to A.N.S.I. RP27, ACGIH, I.E.C., ICNIRP, and I.E.S. standards in 2020. It was found completely safe to use around the eyes and skin of both clients and artists. It has also been CE Certified as safe to use.
ANSI stands for the American National Standards Institute. It is a private non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States. You can learn more about them on their website, here.
The product has been in development since 2012. The Lynk-Gel device and adhesive are both made in the USA.
Our Lynk-Gel Device and Lynk-Gel Glue are made here in the USA!
The Lynk-Gel Device is an LED curing, pinpointed light in the visible light spectrum. It has very lower power and a targeted light that won’t bother you or your clients. It is the only LED curing device that has been thoroughly tested and found safe to use around the eyes of artists and clients. It’s been tested to ANSI RP-27 standards, and has been CE certified as safe by a third party.
Both the Lynk-Gel Device and Adhesive are made by lash artists for lash artists in the US to ensure quality control. We want to make certain that both are made to the highest quality without imperfections, extra additives, or cheap knockoffs.
The Lynk-Gel Device emits very low levels of UV that are much less than being outside in the sun. If you are curious to learn more details about UV, what it is, and why it can be dangerous, please check out the following links.

Use and Service
The Lynk-Gel Device is lightweight and comfortable to hold for many hours. It was designed with ergonomics in mind and the health of both the lash artist and the client.
The Lynk-Gel Device is very simple and intuitive to use! We make certain that anyone who takes our training knows the device inside and out by the time they receive their certification.
- Turn off the device by clicking in the back switch.
- Remove your tweezers.
- Unscrew the back switch.
- Take the batteries out and recharge them.
- Put new batteries in with the positive side in first.
- Replace back switch.
- Slide in your favorite isolation tweezers.
- Operate as normal.
The Lynk-Gel Device works with most tweezers. The magnet inside won’t work on certain tweezers that are coated, but they can be taped in place, and this is shown during the training.
In addition, some tweezers are too thick to fit into the Lynk-Gel Device. We can’t say for certain whether your tweezers will fit until you test them.
illumino’s exclusive Lynk-Gel Device for use with the Lynk-Gel Adhesive to create gel bonds for eyelash extensions.
All illumino tweezers used for separation fit in the Lynk-Gel device, and don’t have a coating on them so they will work with the magnet.
The Lynk-Gel Device is very lightweight. It only weighs 1.1 oz with batteries! It has been designed by lash artists for lash artists to be comfortable for extended use with ergonomics in mind for long-term health.
If isolating properly (tweezer base resting on the brow bone and tweezer feet on eye pads), the Lynk-Gel device should not cause hand strain. The device is lightweight (32 grams) and its weight is evenly distributed across the isolation tweezer.
Pro Tip – Our wing-tipped tweezers are specifically designed to be ergonomic with the tip acting as a counterbalance to the tweezer.
Don’t worry! The Lynk-Gel Device comes with a personal wrist strap that you can wear to keep the device from dropping, and also gives you a little extra control.
A strap attached to your LED Lynk-Gel curing device to keep it safe in case you drop it.
The device is powered by two small rechargeable batteries you can find here, or you can source your own.
Our Lynk-Gel Device is easily turned on with a quick press on the backswitch. With a tap on the silent touch activator, it will stay on for 6 seconds, which will cure the Lynk-Gel Adhesive. The Lynk-Gel Device is attached to your favorite isolation tweezers, allowing you to create easy and seamless lash applications.
No, the LED on the Lynk-Gel Device does not use enough power to radiate heat.
No, your client won’t even know that the LED is on. They can sleep peacefully throughout the service with no interruption from the Lynk-Gel Device.
Training and Purchase
Yes. Because excellence and safety are our priority, Lynk-Gel is only available for purchase to candidates who adhere to their state board requirements for eyelash extensions (for Americans) and have passed the Lynk-Gel Comprehensive Training. For international candidates, we require a lash training certificate rather than state board licensure, in addition to passing our Comprehensive Training. We support professionalism in our industry and take every measure to reduce product misuse.
Lynk-Gel Method training is open to anyone who has at least 6 months experience in applying eyelash extensions to clients. This is an advanced method which requires extensive knowledge of eyelash extensions and isn’t for someone just beginning. We will teach you everything you need to know to be successful in our method and show you how to troubleshoot any potential issues in the future.
To qualify for purchase of the Lynk-Gel, you must be a lash professional adhering to your state or country’s licensure standards for eyelash extensions. If your state or country does not require licensure for eyelash extensions, we ask to see a lash training certificate. Esthetician or cosmetology students are only able to take the Classic Lynk-Gel Training.
No. Because excellence and safety are our priority, Lynk-Gel is only available for purchase by those who have taken the Lynk-Gel Comprehensive Training. We support professionalism in our industry and take every measure to reduce product misuse.

At this time we only offer in person trainings at our Las Vegas location. We also offer online training for anyone who is unable to make it to Vegas. You can find more information on online trainings here.
