How Eyelash Growth Serums Work?

How Eyelash Growth Serums Work? Lash serums are growth-enhancing formulations which stimulate lash growth. Lash serums lengthen the lash growth cycle by extending the growth phase when used on regularly. This will maintain your lashes longer and thicker.

First and foremost, you should be aware that your lashes go through three stages of development. The growth phase is Anagen, the transition phase is Catagen, and the resting phase is Telogen.

Phase of Anagen

The lashes are actively growing during the anagen phase. It lasts for 30 to 45 days. At any given time, only around 40% of the upper lashes and 15% of the lower lashes are growing. Each lash will reach a certain length before stopping. (This explains why we do not need to have our lashes trimmed on a regular basis.

Phase of Catagen

The hair follicle has shortened and the lashes have reached the Catagen phase. Because the follicle must first complete the Catagen phase before continuing on to the next, if an eyelash falls out during this phase, it will not grow back right away. This stage needs about two to three weeks on average.

Phase of Telogen

The third stage is the resting period, which can last up to 100 days before the lash falls out and a new one begins to form. Do not be concerned; they will not all come out at the same time, leaving you with nothing. That’s because each lash goes through its own growth cycle, and it’s natural for a few lashes to fall off. It takes approximately four to eight weeks to replace an eyelash.

How do Eyelash Growth Serums Work?

‘The chemicals are mixed in exact quantities to create a solution which adds to better appeal, look, and beauty of your natural eyelashes,’ according to Corcoran. These components work together to condition and strengthen lashes so they are less likely to break or fall out, provide vitamins to protect lashes from external aggressors, and condition and add shine.

Lash Conditioners vs. Lash Growth Serums

Lash growth serums aid in the creation of new lashes, as well as the addition of thickness, length, and density. Lash conditioner, on the other hand, is for those who already have a lot of lashes but want to keep them moisturized.

To preserve and condition the new lashes which are forming, you may want to use a lash conditioner containing lash development serum. Always use these solutions on clean lashes.

What Are the Benefits of Lash Serums?

Eyelashes, like hair, are made up of protein, with over 90% of them being protein. Amino acids come into play in this situation. Amino acids nourish and repair damage as well as being the building elements of protein (and your eyelashes). This is why they are a key component in so many lash-enhancement products. However, keep in mind that many products incorporate amino acids known as peptides in their formulae. Peptides nourish, condition, and strengthen thin and brittle lashes.

Collagen, the most prevalent protein in the human body, is the most abundant protein in the body. We all know about its skin and hair advantages (it can do everything from repair damaged strands to fill sagging skin and wrinkles), so it is no surprise that it is an ingredient in a lot of lash serums as well.

Is it safe to use lash serums?

Lash serums are safe when used properly. The specific directions for the lash serum you are using should be followed, but most lash serums should be applied one or two times a day on clean lashes. When using contacts, avoid using lash serum.

If you have any undesirable side effects, such as itchy, red eyes, unwanted hair growth in regions where the serum is continuously touched, darkening of the eyelids, lower eye pressure, or permanently elevated iris pigmentation, discontinue the use and consult a doctor.

How Many Types of Lash Growth Serums Are There?

Lash serums feed and promote lashes with a variety of substances, and they are divided into three groups based on their major active ingredients:

Prostaglandin derived serums
Vitamins based serums
Peptides based serums

Prostaglandin analogues are medications that are used to treat glaucoma, and one of the side effects of this medication is lash growth. Prostaglandin-derived lash serums arose as a result of this.

There are some eyelash serums which combine the two categories of vitamin and peptides in order to create a powerful blend which helps improve the health of eyelash follicles through a complex of multivitamins and antioxidants, and helps enhance lash length, strength, and volume.
