Eyelash growth treatment, a clinician-reviewed topical solution

Why do eyelashes become thin or short?

Eyelashes grow in cycles — a growth phase, a transitional phase, and a resting phase before the hair sheds naturally. When the growth phase shortens or fewer follicles are active at once, lashes appear thinner, shorter, or less dense. This can happen with age, after medical treatments (such as chemotherapy), with certain skin or thyroid conditions, because of habitual rubbing, or simply as a natural variation in follicle activity. For many women there is no specific medical cause.

How does a prescription eyelash growth treatment work?

A prescription topical solution is applied to the skin at the base of the upper eyelashes each night. It works by extending the active growth phase of the eyelash follicle, so more hairs are growing at any one time and for longer — the result is lashes that appear longer, thicker, and darker over weeks of consistent use.

We do not publish the name of the medicine or its price on this page. The prescriber confirms the appropriate treatment for you inside the consultation, once they have checked your suitability. Results vary between individuals, and the improvement is maintained only while you continue using the treatment.

How the online consultation works for eyelash growth

The consultation is short. You will describe your concern, confirm a few health points — including eye conditions, contact lens use, and pregnancy status — and list any medicines you take. A UK prescriber reviews your answers. If treatment is appropriate, it is dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Stratford and delivered discreetly to you.

When to see your GP instead

See your GP if your lash loss is sudden, severe, or accompanied by other symptoms, if you have an active eye condition or recent eye surgery, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If the prescriber identifies any reason this treatment may not be safe for you, they will explain clearly and point you to the right care.
