Question 1

how can i avoid irritation from eyebrow waxing?

Accepted Answer

Eye irritation: Use thick tears or gel in the eyes or a Rx ointment such as Erythromycin ophthalmic ointment: place 1/4 inch in the inner side of lower eyelids prior to eyebrow waxing. This should help.

Question 2

what age should you be when you start waxing and tweezing eyebrows?

Accepted Answer

Adult: If you are still in your parents household, check with mom prior to doing this.  Once you are independent and on your own you can do it when you want.  Done repeatedly, over time, you may inhibit the growth and at some time in the future you might wish that was not the case, so do this judiciously.

Question 3

what to do if my skin pulled off from eyebrow waxing!!?

Accepted Answer

Your wax was too hot: Normal waxing should only pull the hair follicle out, not take the skin with it. If the wax was too hot, it can denude, or exfoliate your skin. This can potentially lead to postinflammatory hyperpigmentation problems. It may be equivalent to having a first degree burn or worse. If it's painful or sore, you need to see a dermatologist or your PCP for further evaluation and treatment. Don't get any more waxing from this person again.

Question 4

if you wax your eyebrows for many years can you develop wrinkles ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Whether you wax your eyebrows or not, as you age you most likely will develop wrinkles. Waxing bows will most likely have nothing to do with it.

Question 5

i very badly burned inbetween my eyebrows and under my eyebrows through waxing, how long will the burns stay bright red for?

Accepted Answer

7-10 days: it take 7-10 days until the redness is gone, and the irritation cool off, but that depend on how deep the burn is and what degree,frist second or third.assuming it is only first degree burn, no blister, then it take 7-10 days.apply topical antibiotic if you can.

Question 6

what are some remedies for burnt eyebrows after waxing them, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Depending on what: section or part of your eyebrow you 'burnt' with wax. Usually hot wax is intolerable to apply if it's that hot. Did you end up waxing it off or not? If you singed your hairs and they are still there, they will continue growing. If you waxed them off, they will eventually grow back in 4-6 weeks. If you burnt your skin or have a 2nd degree burn from it, it will take much longer &amp; you must treat it.

Question 7

i got botox today and wasnt given after car instructions. about an hour later i got my eyebrows waxed on the same spot. i started to feel dizzy after so i googled and found you arent supposed to lay down or wax or rub the area for at least 4 hours.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely harm: Botox is given to muscles under the skin.  Waxing is on the skin and is probably away from the muscles in question.    Very doubtful that you have done any harm.  If the effects of the Botox are not what was desired in 1-2 weeks, then seek out the doctor who gave you the injections.

Question 8

how long does it take for your eyebrows to grow back entirely after waxing?

Accepted Answer

Eyebrow growth: An eyebrow hair of an adult grows at a rate of approximately 0.16mm per day. If plucked, it will take the follicle about 56 days to replace the fiber. Shaved hairs will grow out (with blunt ends) at the first rate: 0.16mm per day.

Question 9

my eyebrows don't grow back like they used to  what can i do to make them grow back ? i'm only 18 i don't pluck or wax they just fall out on their own

Accepted Answer

Get checked: There are some health issues and nutritional deficiencies that can lead to losing hair.  Underactive thyroid can cause loss of the outer eyebrows.  Low iron stores and low vitamin d can lead to hair loss.  I recommend seeing your doctor and getting checked.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

This should not: Be happening at your age. See your physician to check a hormone panel, include thyroid and as well as sex hormones to see if you have any mild abnormalities that may leading to some hair loss which you may be noticing first in your eyebrows.
