do eyelashes grow back if burnt

Eyelashes can generally grow back if they are burnt, depending on the severity of the burn and the extent of damage to the hair follicles. Here is a detailed analysis:

Mild Burns

If the burn is mild and only affects the tips of the eyelashes, the hair follicles at the base of the eyelashes are likely to remain unharmed. Since the follicles are the source of hair growth, they can continue to produce new eyelashes. In this case, the eyelashes will usually grow back within the normal growth cycle of eyelashes, which is typically a few weeks to a couple of months.

Moderate Burns

For moderate burns where a significant portion of the eyelash is burnt but the follicle is not severely damaged, regrowth may still occur, but it could take longer than usual. The damaged eyelashes may fall out sooner than they would naturally, but the follicles should be able to initiate new growth. However, the new lashes might initially appear thinner or shorter until the follicle fully recovers and returns to its normal function. It may take several weeks to a few months for the eyelashes to grow back to their original length and fullness.

Severe Burns

In the case of severe burns that cause significant damage to the eyelash follicles, such as when the heat has penetrated deep into the follicle and caused inflammation, scarring, or other tissue damage, eyelash regrowth can be affected. The follicles may become damaged to the point where they are unable to produce new lashes, or the growth may be stunted or irregular. In some extreme cases, the eyelashes may not grow back at all without medical intervention.
