    Hi there, long time no talk. A friend of mine just recently went to his doctor and now has a prescription for it too. Im seriously considering it. The cost may be well worth the outcome. It sounds like it may be a good intermediate treatment for us.

    Hi Artista,

    I just asked my GP during a regular visit if she would write a script for Lumigan (it's the same thing as Latisse but cheaper). When I explained to her why I wanted it she saw no harm in trying and wrote the script. I mixed the whole bottle in with a full bottle of generic women's Minoxidil. I am starting off with using it only every other evening, alternating with normal women's Minoxidil in the evening. After this first bottle of the mix is empty, I will use the mixture every evening for six months, then evaluate to see if it is making a difference or not.

    Joe is stating Bimatoprost can regrow around 40%. It’s said that bimatoprost can turn vellus hairs into terminal hairs.. what does it mean exactly when a product can re grow 40%. Will it only regrow 40% of vellus hairs?

    Since I specifically asked her if she could write the script for Lumigan instead of Latisse, the pharmacy billed my insurance. So I do not know the cost. I do know that Lumigan is less expensive than Latisse, even though they are the same medication.

    Minoxidil also turns vellus hairs into terminal hairs. So does the laser comb. JFSI is very biased in favor of Allergen. As with everyone else, his bias is usually based on his own personal experience - which differs from mine.

    Stating percentages does not hold much meaning without stating a baseline to compare them to. Does it mean 40% of the vellus hairs transform into terminal hairs - or does it mean overall density increases 40%? As you can see, whatever that baseline is can make a big difference. Using Minoxidil as an example; Minoxidil increases overall density about 10% - but that does not tell you what percentage of vellus hairs are transformed into terminal hairs to achieve that 10% increase in density. So without a point of comparison, that 40% statement is meaningless because it can be interpreted in different ways.
