Argon laser thermoablation has a success rate of 50% typically, when success is defined as an absence of recurrence of any eyelash per lid treated. When success is redefined as an absence of recurrence per eyelash treated, the success rate increases to 76% to 93%. Laser thermoablation potentially offers selective eyelash ablation with minimal inflammation and adjacent tissue damage. Its true rate of success may be better than previously indicated.
