Does pulling out eyebrows really cause drooping eyelids

Pulling out eyebrows generally does not directly cause drooping eyelids, but frequent or improper operation may affect the elasticity of the eye skin. Eyelid ptosis is usually associated with factors such as aging, skin laxity, and decreased muscle function.

Eyebrow removal is a temporary hair removal method that mainly acts on the root of hair follicles and does not significantly damage the skin support structure. Under normal operation, the connective tissue around hair follicles has the ability to self repair and will not cause skin sagging. However, long-term repeated extraction may cause slight traction on the local skin. If the operation force is too strong or the technique is rough, it may accelerate the aging process of the skin around the eyes. The skin around the eyes is thin and fragile, and excessive stimulation may reduce the efficiency of collagen synthesis, indirectly affecting skin firmness.

Clinical observations have found that some people experience eyelid laxity after eyebrow removal, which is often related to individual physical differences. The middle-aged and elderly population with congenital poor skin elasticity and rapid loss of collagen are more susceptible to the impact. If eyebrow pulling is accompanied by tearing or the use of inferior tools, it may cause minor trauma accumulation and increase the risk of skin sagging. This type of situation usually requires a combination of radiofrequency tightening or local care improvement.

It is recommended to choose professional tweezers for daily eyebrow repair and remove them along the direction of hair growth. Before the operation, apply heat to soften the hair follicles. With eye essence containing peptides or vitamin E, it can help maintain skin elasticity. If there is obvious eyelid laxity, non-invasive medical beauty methods such as ultrasonic knife can be used to improve it. In severe cases, consultation with the Medical Aesthetics Department for eyebrow lifting surgery evaluation is necessary. At the same time, pay attention to avoiding rubbing around the eyes and taking basic care such as sun protection to slow down the rate of skin aging.
