Do Eyebrows Get Thinner With Age?

Insights, Microblading, Tinting Services

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at November 28th, 2023

As we age, our bodies undergo various transformations (ah, the hard truth we all must accept), and one noticeable change is the thinning of our once-lush eyebrows. But don’t be dismayed; there are solutions that bring back the fullness and vibrancy of your eyebrows! Let’s review what this thinning happens to begin with. 

Do Eyebrows Get Thinner With Age?

The natural aging process, coupled with hormonal changes, impacts the hair growth cycle, leading to decreased eyebrow density and thickness, yup, just like that. While aging plays a significant role, other factors such as over-plucking or medical treatments like chemotherapy, thyroid disease, hormonal fluctuations, and even an imbalanced diet can contribute to thinning eyebrows. Genetics also have their say, influencing the number of hair follicles and overall eyebrow thickness.

Tips and Tricks for Fuller-Looking Brows

Fret not; there are ways to slow the thinning process and encourage healthier, fuller eyebrows. Dermatologists offer practical advice for those seeking to defy the aging brow dilemma. Maintaining a healthy diet rich in antioxidants is a foundational step. Indulge in a colorful array of fruits and vegetables to provide essential nutrients for hair growth. Consider supplementing your diet with vitamin E, biotin, and iron to accelerate hair growth. These nutrients play a crucial role in maintaining the health and thickness of your eyebrows, not to mention overall body health! Sunscreen isn't just for your skin—apply it to your eyebrows to shield sensitive hair follicles from harmful UV rays.

Preserve Fullness: Avoid Over-Plucking

Resist the temptation to over-pluck. Allow your eyebrows to maintain their natural shape, preventing unnecessary thinning caused by aggressive grooming. Professional treatments offer a lifeline to combat thinning eyebrows, especially for those with an anxious urge to pluck until the desired shape returns.  

Some Solutions to Help With The Appearance of Thinning Brows

Microblading is a  great solution for achieving semi-permanent, natural-looking enhancement; this treatment involves tiny needles to create hair-like lines, providing the illusion of fullness. Brow tinting, another professional technique, involves applying a semi-permanent dye to the brows. This method enhances the color and thickness, giving brows a fuller and more defined appearance.
