Will my eyelashes eventually return to their original length without use of grow serums? If so, when? -ex lash extension addict

Question

After 3-4 years of constant individual eyelash extension applications each month my upper lashes are still far shorter than my lower lashes which I only had extensions applied to he bottom lashes once. It's been 8 months since I've had individual eyelash extensions applied but my lashes never returned to their original length. Thank you for your time!!

Thank you for your question.The repeated trauma to the hair follicle from the extension may cause permanent damage and prevent the lashes from growing back to what they used to be. There are several products available to apply to the lashes to try and stimulate them to grow.

Hi,
Recommend see a physician for a complete evaluation, but with that being said, lashes may bitngrow back after repeated trauma as they were before.
There are products to help stimulate growth, but it may take significant time period.
Best of luck,
Dr.Amy

There is likely some degree of permanent damage that comes from repeated extenions.  See your dermatologist to review but chronic use of extensions may lead to incomplete regrowth following cessation of the stated practice.
