I have accidentally burnt my eyelashes, the top of lash of one eye. I'm scared they won't grow back.

Question

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

Hello,

Take
care.

Latisse
is a prescription eyelash product which has been proven to grow eyelashes
longer, darker, and fuller. The
majority of users see improvement with their eyelashes within 8 weeks of
regular use.

I'd
recommend booking a consultation with a physician to determine if you are a
good candidate.

Take care.

The answer is maybe. It all comes down to how much of the hair was injured. If the hair and upper layer of the skin was burned- the hair will grow back.If the lower part of the hair was burned, the result is that the stem cells of the hair follicle get destroyed. Hair re-growth does not occur.If you are worried, please see a physician for careful review.

Thank you for your question. Latisse is an option, but I would recommend your first check with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

In a word, yes. Eyelashes are like hair so as long as the root isn't damaged, it's just a matter of time before they grow back. Latisse is a product that can help with the regrowth as it encourages lashes to grow longer, thicker and darker.
