Reduction in the length, thickness, and pigmentation of eyelashes and eyebrows can be a physiological phenomenon due to aging.

Eyelashes and eyebrows serve as protection of the ocular area, definition of nonverbal communication, and self-expression.

Loss of eyelashes and eyebrows can be caused by genetic, autoimmune, endocrine, infectious, neoplastic, nutritional, traumatic, dermatological inflammatory, and drug-induced conditions.

Eyelash and eyebrow loss, especially loss of eyelashes, can have a severe impact on patients’ quality of life.

No guidelines exist for the treatment of eyelash and eyebrow loss, and each condition needs to be addressed specifically.
