MADAROSIS: PREVENTION AND TREATMENTS

Madarosis affects both genders and can occur in all ages. This blog post is about the preventive measures and treatments for this condition.

HOW TO PREVENT EYELASH LOSS

For healthy lashes:

• Ensure to sufficiently eat healthy diets, such as foods rich in zinc, iron, or biotin.
• The eyelids have glands that naturally lubricate the lashes, so except if the lashes are extremely dry, and avoid using lotions or creams on the lashes.
• Avoid using your hands to rub the eyes to avoid introducing infections; use clean tissues or towels instead.
• Maintain healthy facial hygiene, and use water and mild soaps to gently wash the eyelids daily.
• Before you undergo any cosmetic procedure involving the eyes, research to understand the potential complications and risks, or consult your optometrist.
• Using artificial lashes and services such as eyelash extensions may trigger allergic reactions. When this occurs, don’t try to remove them by yourself.
• Avoid treating allergic reactions by self-medicating because by incorrectly doing so, symptoms of the possible underlying condition may persist.

       TREATMENTS OF MADAROSIS

As it concerns eyelash loss, treatment depends on what causes this condition. This condition could be scarring or non-scarring.

In the non-scarring type, hair regrows after treatments. Treatment can be in the form of topical solutions or drugs. However, for the scarring type, hairs do not regrow; wearing artificial eyelashes, eyelash grafting, and using cosmetics to cover up are the treatments available.
