Luxury long thick eyelashes are the dream of absolutely any girl. In pursuit of this almost unattainable goal, the typical fair sex begins to experiment in choosing the most suitable mascara, which will certainly make the eyelashes thicker and longer. Or she begins to get involved in artificial eyelash extensions, thanks to which the girl has the opportunity not only to refuse daily eye makeup, but also to feel confident twenty-four hours a day!
Besides these two categories of girls, there is a very small percentage of those who are the most fortunate (at first glance). These are girls who are owners of a double row of eyelashes. Don't believe this is possible? In this case, immediately read this article to the end! And then you will believe that the double row of eyelashes is not a fiction and not a new way of artificial eyelash extensions.
Whysome people have two rows of eyelashes?
The reason for this phenomenon among girls and men (yes, they are no exception) is distichiasis. Sounds like a pretty scary diagnosis. And no wonder, because this mutation is a double row of eyelashes. In scientific terms, two rows of eyelashes appear in humans as a result of a transcription error on the sixteenth chromosome.
Photos of a double row of eyelashes on people can be both beautiful and terrifying. What else do you need to know about it?
Is the double row of eyelashes transmitted from parents to children?
Yes, it is being transmitted. Those who studied biology well at school, and with it the topic of heredity, can understand why it is impossible to guarantee one hundred percent that distichiasis will definitely pass from your parents to you, but such a chance is quite likely. A double row of eyelashes can be passed down from generation to generation, like all other types of mutations. Moreover, the gene responsible for the formation of such an anomaly is dominant. Therefore, in the event that in the family of a mother or father someone had long double eyelashes, the probability of transmitting this trait to a child increases significantly. Since such a mutation is quite rare, the likelihood that both of your parents have the distichiasis gene is incredibly small. Therefore, it is difficult to predict whether you (or your children) will become the proud owner of a double row of eyelashes.
Distichiasis - a reward or a curse?
It would seem what happiness it is, just take it and be born with a double row alreadyeyelashes! Thick, beautiful, long two rows of hairs that do not even need to be tinted with mascara, because they are already beautiful! Is it really? Not always. In some cases, distichiasis poses a serious threat to the integrity of the cornea.
Sometimes a double row of eyelashes in people leads to serious eye he alth problems and therefore it is considered a full-fledged disease. Eye tick, tearing, pain and burning in the eyes, corneal ulcer - all this definitely does not make a person's life better, even if he still has gorgeous eyelashes in two rows. For this reason, distichiasis is treated, which will be discussed in more detail in the next subparagraph of this article.
Below you can see a photo of a double row of lashes.
Preparation for treatment of distichiasis
There are several ways to treat this phenomenon. But beforehand, the patient is prescribed certain drugs - antibiotics, as well as eye drops. The purpose of this treatment is to protect the cornea from viruses and bacteria, as well as to prepare the eyes for the intervention of specialists. Now it is necessary to tell you about the types of treatment for this mutation.
Surgery
The first treatment option for distichiasis is surgery. The eyelid of a person is first frozen so that the procedure does not cause discomfort. After that, that part of the mucosa that was affected by the mutation is removed. This way is very scary. A lot of people get shivers at the thought of a surgeon doing something.cut or otherwise dig into their eyes. Indeed, a frightening process. Fortunately, there are other ways to remove the second row of lashes.
Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is common. From the experience of those who have used the procedure, we can say that such hair removal will not harm your body in any way and is unlikely to scare you. Depending on the level of the pain threshold, some people feel considerable discomfort during the procedure, and some only a slight tingling sensation. Therefore, think several times whether you really do not want to spend money on painkillers? Radiation hair removal is a very effective way to remove double rows of lashes.
Manual hair removal method
It is also called the stand-alone method. In fact, one cannot advise this method to anyone, because it is quite dangerous. Not everyone will be able to decide to go for it. The previous treatments for distichiasis are based on your seeking help from a specialist who is professionally trained and does not see what is happening before your eyes for the first time. He knows how to deal with it. In the same method, you yourself are left alone with the problem and, due to inexperience, due to negligence, you can accidentally harm yourself.
This method of dealing with the second row of eyelashes cannot even be called a full-fledged treatment, because it will not help you completely get rid of this flaw. The procedure for the manual method of hair removal will have to be repeated each time as they grow. Whatregarding the removal methods themselves in this method - excess hairs can be cut off with small scissors. To do this without getting hurt and without cutting off those eyelashes that you still need is quite difficult. I would like to believe that no one had a desire to pull the hairs out of the eyelid with tweezers.
Rehabilitation period and the possibility of complications after treatment
He is present even when the intervention was not too painful. The rehabilitation period after the treatment of distichiasis lasts two weeks. At this time, the patient still continues to take prescribed pills, antibiotics and uses special eye drops that help protect the cornea from environmental influences.
As for the possibility of complications after the treatment of distichiasis, there is practically none. In about ninety-seven percent of cases, if the patient followed all the recommendations of his attending physician and did not neglect the rehabilitation period, the treatment will indeed be successful. If the patient did not take all the advice seriously, then corneal erosion, eye inflammation, conjunctivitis, and visual impairment may occur.
