Last reviewed
In short
When eyelashes turn white due to vitiligo (poliosis), they can be naturally matched to the surrounding color through eyelash dyeing.
"Doctor, now my eyelashes have turned white too." When vitiligo appears around the eyes, the eyelashes in that area can also lose their pigment and turn white. Because it is in the center of the face, it is particularly noticeable and difficult to cover with makeup. Many people find this distressing. Apart from treatments to restore skin color, this is a summary of our thoughts on whether there is a way to make these white eyelashes look natural right now.
Q1 Can you naturally cover white eyelashes with dye?
Yes, eyelash dye can make them match the surrounding eyelashes naturally. When vitiligo develops around the eyelids, the pigment in the eyelashes can also be lost, causing them to turn white. Because it is particularly noticeable on the face, many people are concerned about it. We have organized and introduced an eyelash dyeing method that can be used for such individuals. It is not a treatment for the skin itself. However, it is a simple and practical way to make white eyelashes less noticeable and reduce the daily burden. That said, the eye area is sensitive. It is important to consult with a professional and do it safely.
Closing remarks
It is just one small method. Still, being able to naturally conceal white eyelashes that were particularly noticeable and bothersome can provide considerable comfort to patients. Along with treating the skin, alleviating immediate discomfort is also an important part of medical care.
