Patient's question:
Is it true that cutting a baby's eyelashes will make them grow longer? I used to hear older people say this, and I thought it had no scientific basis. Now that I have a child, I've heard some young people say the same thing. I'm not sure if trimming eyelashes really makes them grow longer, and if there are any negative effects?Doctor's answer:
Actually, eyelashes and eyebrows are just like beards and hair. The more you trim, the more they grow. They will become darker and thicker. This is based on evidence. But I heard from older people that you should wait for a hundred days before trimming. Don't trim them until there's nothing left. That can easily hurt her eyes. Leave a little. You can trim them as you see fit. It's okay. It's best not to trim them at all. Think about it yourself.
