Accidentally cut off tips of eyelashes

[nat91]

Hi,

Today, stupidly while getting ready, I pressed down to hard on my eyelash curler, resulting into half- cut eyelashes on one eye. I am seventeen years old and I use to constantly pull out my lashes. I have stopped, but now I am dealing with an unwanted trim of my eyelashes. I was wondering usually, how long does it take the eyelashes to grow back?

I really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Natalie

Dear nat91,

Eyelashes will grow back over time, usually 4-6 six weeks.  There is also a medication, Latisse that you can apply like eyeliner which helps eyelashes grow.  You need to seek the care of an eyeMD and get examined to determine if this would be all right for you to use.
