Stimulate eyelash growth

Stimulating eyelash growth: Long, thick eyelashes are one of the most important aesthetic features sought after by women and girls of all ages. Eyelashes are also important for maintaining eye health. In the following lines, we will shed light on how to stimulate eyelash growth.

Information about eyelashes

Eyelashes were created by God Almighty for humans to have an important function, which is to maintain eye health. Eyelashes are hairs that instinctively close the eyelid when any foreign object, such as dust or the like, comes into contact with the eye and could cause harm.

The human upper eyelid has about 150 eyelashes and the lower eyelid has about 80. These eyelashes grow to a length of about 10 mm, and then after the eyelash hair growth cycle, the hairs themselves are completely replaced every few years.

Eyelash life stages

• First, the growth phase: This phase is known as the anagen phase, and this phase lasts for about 45 days. It is the phase in which the eyelashes grow. At each time, there are only about 151 TP3T of the lower eyelid lashes and about 401 TP3T of the upper eyelid lashes only in the growth phase. All the eyelashes will grow to a certain extent and then their growth will stop.
• The catagen phase: This phase is known as the telogen phase, during which eyelash growth stops and the hair follicles contract. This phase usually lasts for about three weeks. If the eyelash falls out, the hair follicles will need time to complete their growth and the hair will need to complete the regression phase before the eyelash is removed to allow new eyelashes to grow.
• Resting phase: This phase is known as the telogen phase, during which the eyelash falls out and another eyelash begins to grow in place of the one that fell out. This phase lasts approximately 100 days.
