Lost All Eyelashes Due to Extensions. Should I Use Latisse?

A few weeks ago, I decided to try eyelash extensions. Looking back completely regret the decision, I have always had long eyelashes. Last week, when I was at the beach my left eyelash was caught on something and when losing the extensions it pulled 99% of my natural lashes out as well. When having the other extension removed, all lashes were lost as well. Currently, only a few lashes remain on each eyelid :( If I were to use Latisse, would it assist in helping my lashes grow back?

Latisse after Eyelash Removal from Extensions

Latisse may promote a faster recovery process, but the product will definitely increase the growth phase of the eyelash cycle.

Hello

Yes, you can use Latisse if you have lost them because of extensions. You need to see a doctor in your area to get your best options.

Eyelash Extension Nightmare

How awful for you! I know you must be feeling a bit frantic. The Trauma induced may delay your lash growth more than what would normally occur - even with Latisse used as a growth booster. If the lashes were pulled out by the hair root instead of being broken off at the skin line, you will indeed have to wait for things to start growing.

The question is do you still have viable hair follicles? I think you probably do. So, I would definitely try Latisse. You need to be patient with it.

Lost all eyelashes due to extensions, will Latisse help?

Unfortunately, this is an all too common problem with eyelash extensions. Overall Latisse speeds up the process of eyelash growth and keeps the hairs the growth stage longer than what your body normally does. So yes, it will help you get your eyelashes back faster than if you wait on your own. But it will realistically take probably 4-6 months for you to really start seeing your lashes growing back entirely. Not using Latisse, it will be longer, probably a year.
