Attention Dermatologists - Cortisone shots in upper/lower eyelashes to prevent hair loss?

July 29, 2017
Asked By:blondedj in Westchester, NY

My dermatologist injects cortisone shots in my lower/upper eyelids monthly. I was told that I would need a total of three injections to get positive results (stop eyelashes from falling out). I've Googled this procedure and see nothing about this procedure. The injections are quite painful and my eyes bruise terribly. Am I waisting my time?
