Will eyelashes grow back if they get waxed off? (photo)

November 15, 2016
Asked By:Christina V in Stoughton, MA

The end portion of my eyelashes on my left eye got ripped out after some wax dripped on them while i was waxing my eyebrows. I tried to remove the wax off my lashes with facial lotion but that did not work, last resort was to just rip the wax off which took a chunk of my eyelashes with it. Will my eyelashes grow back?

Ashley R. Curtis, MD says:

What kind of hair loss do I have? (Photo)
Robert V. Mandraccia, MD says:

While your loss may be from Accutane, I believe you should first check hormones, stress levels and other medical considerations. Then, consider Propecia and Platelet Rich Plasma placed directly under the scalp and by microneedling. This has been very successful. Good luck.
