Hair to hair: how to make eyelashes long and thick?

 According to statistics, on the upper eyelid at us grows from 90 to 160 hairs a length of 8-12 mm. The lower slightly smaller - from 75 to 80 hairs 6-8 mm. Each month, eyelashes fall out, grow in their place new ones of the same length. This is a natural process of renewal, affect which we can not.

Alas, no miracle creams and oils for eyelashes change their growth and density can not (despite the alluring promises advertisers) as well as length, thickness, color and activity of the growth of eyelashes is genetic. Yet thanks to Dr. Dieffenbach, who almost two centuries ago (in 1822) conducted the first experiments on hair transplants, modern fashionista can buy such eyelashes about any dream.

Law of Genetics

Transplantation of eyelashes - operation, which is compared with the work of the jeweler. One wrong move - and the result is spoiled. At first glance, everything is simple: from the occipital region of the head hairs taken (usually about 50 in one eye) and implanted in the upper eyelid. The operation is performed under local anesthesia and a half to two hours, and resembles a regular hair transplant procedure with alopecia. But in order to take root hair and "caught" in a new place, especially its first grind and then prizhivlyayut to age using absorbable sutures. If all goes well, then after a couple of weeks, when they host local inflammation, the girl will be hitting the surrounding luxurious lashes.

In fact, the original method of hair transplant from the back for ever invented for patients with congenital defects of age, as well as for those affected by injuries and burns. But after a while beauty industry has put the operation on stream in the beauty clinic. And now, to get an expressive glance, the direction of a physician, as it was originally, is not required. Would have the means. And a lot: the average cost of operation - from $ 4 thousand. To $ 8 thousand.

In Russia there is a bit wanting to part with such a sum. Our women prefer a more budget option - false eyelashes. And here in the United States in clinic practice, the method of hair transplantation, there are huge queues.

Curly eyelashes

And the girls do not mind the fact that, despite the hundreds of transactions, doctors still have not been able to make a coherent classification contraindications and side effects. As far as long-lasting effect, too, is unclear. Doctors Estheticians limited to vague wording: it all depends on the individual characteristics of each customer. And yet, in the pursuit of beauty woman willing to close their eyes to all these omissions.

From the obvious disadvantages operation publicity devoted to just one: since the implanted lashes - a regular hair, they continue to grow rapidly, and after transplantation may even begin to curl. So, no matter how ridiculous it sounds beauties have their regularly cut, and if necessary - to straighten. That is why, ladies with curly hair in general plastic surgeons advise against surgery.

Comment specialist: dermatologist, cosmetologist "Svetlana Gushina:

"As long as Russia does not make hair transplantation for ever. I think it's for the best. It's quite a complicated procedure that requires special skills and knowledge of the operating doctor. I would not recommend to resort to such drastic measures. Especially if a woman just wants to improve their eyelashes and the operation is not caused by necessity.

Doctors do not hide such procedures can and do harm. There is no guarantee that the natural lashes after such intervention does not fall out. Let them not as thick and long as we would like, but they own.

Accrued, new or transplanted eyelashes will require special attention. They constantly have to adjust, take care of them. Typically, when you decide to "finish" a something after the procedure you will already be too lazy to look regularly and follow the "new thing."

So that high-quality ink is still the most optimal way for the correction of the eyelashes. It is a pity that not all girls have realized it through and are still trying to find other ways, from which more harm than good. "
