Long Eyelashes

I had seen the term 'llama lashes' on this forum before and it's true!  Went to see Bonnie Raitt and put on make-up (which I never do) and looked like a mascara commercial.  Add that to the ghostly paleness and maybe I looked a little more like "The Queen of the Damned" instead of Cindy Crawford.  

How long does it last?  Disappear immediately after finishing TX or do I get to enjoy it a little while?

I had skin issues too.  I had styes quite a few times and I never never had a stye.  I still have skin issues around my eyes, they have wrinkled pretty bad and my upper lid needs a tuck. I guess the whole face needs a tuck but I scar so easy now it would be a mess LOL

I had llama lashes up until about week 24 of TX and then they started falling out...just like my eyebrows...and just like the hair on my head.  I don't think that happens to everyone quite as drastically as it has me.  I think typically the llama lashes last as long as normal lashes and then gradually fall out and are replaced with regular lashes as treatment ends.  I, unfortunately, have bare spots where my lashes were and there are a few tiny thin hairs trying to grow instead of sturdy lashes.  Not a cute look at all.  :)  

I have had skin issues around my eyes from treatment since about the time my lashes fell out so I think part of the reason they fell out is from the skin issues.  Itchy red puffy skin around my eyes and that is not a good environment for lashes at all.

Enjoy your llama lashes...I loved them when I had them.  :)

lashes humph, how about eyebrows that are still sticking out LOL.  

Annie, forget about not shaving the legs, that hair grows faster, mine did & still does.

Tippy, I have hair on my face that would make a 15 year old boy jealous LOL

My friend lost her eyebrows while on TX. I'm waiting to not have to shave my legs. I'm just losing the hair on my head, and it just started at 1/3 of the way through. I'm hoping I have enough to make it through to the end and not be too noticeable.
