Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have very thin and short eyelashes and eyebrows. I want to make them thicker and longer. Please help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The thickness and size of your eyelashes and eyebrows depend on your genetic inheritance. If your genetics dictate that your eyelashes are thin, they will not grow thicker than your genes allow.

However, if your genetics indicate that your eyelashes should be thick and beautiful but they are not growing well due to a disease, the following steps may help:

  1. Treat dandruff or any fungal infections on your scalp and the skin under your eyebrows.
  2. Apply pure almond oil (not refined almond oil, which often contains mineral oil). Use pure almond oil, also known as badam rogan, to gradually make your eyebrows grow thicker.

Hope I have clarified your query. I will be happy to help you further.

Thank you.
