Eyebrow Regrowth
Expert Questions and Answers about Eyebrow Regrowth
Ques: Has anyone here had regrowth of their eyebrows after losing them or having them thin dramatically?
All my family have TE of unknown cause and our eyebrows are rapidly thinning, and may soon disappear. I am concerned because I get the impression that brow hairs are more resistant to regrowing than scalp hair. You often see people who have virtually no eyebrows due to over plucking - the follicles appear to give up easily.
Solution:
You are right that eyebrows are not a robust as other hair follicles. Repeated plucking will destroy eyebrow follicles.
Eyebrow follicles are slow growing anyway so it takes time for them to recover from any disruption in growth. Mostly it is a question of patience. Of course if the cause of the thinning is still present then the thin growth may persist.
Three alternatives are available if eyebrow loss is permanent:
1) hair plugs removed from the scalp and transferred to the eyebrow area,
2) cosmetic tattooing in the shape of eyebrows, and
3) the use of camouflage cosmetics to draw eyebrows onto the face with makeup
