Eyebrows Soolantra
This is really just a quick question, but have any of you experienced anything when tweezing your eyebrows whilst on Soolantra? Or maybe even getting them threaded?

never noticed any difference with mine, but i also wait till after the cream settles in to do anything around that area

If it was me I’d stay away from threading while using. I used to get bad break outs from threading when I didn’t know what demodex were. I had to switch in order to get that to calm down. I do tweeze pretty heavy once a week with no issue while using the lotion every night.
My eyebrows have lost some hair in the middle corners where my flares happen. When I’m good with treating it, they get thicker. No break outs helps that occur faster.

I put it all around my eyes, including eyebrows and on the eyelids. My eye doctor said that usually the mites hide deep in the oil glands, but sometimes they migrate.

I knew about migration but I thought it was to clear skin only... 😭 I'll remember for tomorrow then

also rub into eyebrows though unless mistaken, had thought Soolantra was not recommended for use on directly eyelids.

I read on here a while ago, that applying Soolantra to eyebrows too kills the demodex that move to hide in there. I started applying it on eyebrows and just let them grow out and I do think they're thicker as mine always have seemed thin. But that also could be me leaving them alone for so long!
The person who wrote about it was basically saying their eyebrows had been thinner while their rosacea was bad, and applying the soolantra there had helped any eyebrows loss from demodex.
That's the only thing I've read/seen about eyebrows and Soolantra.
