Anyone willing to take the Bimatoprost plunge?

[chimera]

anyone who thinks applying it to the scalp will change iris colour is wrong! its not going in the eye, therefore won't change eye colour.

A lot of drugs (like minox for example) go systemic regardless or where do you apply them, so bim could still affect your eyes...

I'm considering giving bim a go. Minox isn't going to do much for me (have used it with little success). Only issue is that the cost of bim is very prohibitive, around £100 for a small bottle. However I thing I can make a bottle last 7/8 weeks as is only the front I'm really looking to target.

Agree 100% with this. Just because it's applied on the scalp doesn't mean it can't affect the iris. Most women who complain of this side effect state this and clearly did not apply in the eye, but above and were very careful about that...yet they still experienced the side.

Not worth it. I have baby blue eyes. I wouldn't risk it.

Ok guys, i probably should have explained myself a bit better here, i was in a hurry! apologies

I have a biomedical sciences degree and this is where my logic comes from...

bimatoprost is a molecule with an extremely short plasma halflife (45 minutes!!), its even been injected into people at much higher concentrations than the ones people will be putting on their scalp, without any systemic sides (including eye colour change!!)

Another very important factor is the blood eye barrier, which means that systemic molecules e.g. bimatoprost are much less permeable to the eye, further the reducing the amount reaching the eye.

In my opinion there is 0% risk of eye colour change from systemic absorption, i wouldn't worry. I can understand why people do given that minox can cause systemic sides, but the two are very different molecules.

peace

Good stuff^ youre definitely gonna need a few more boxes of the stuff though! it can take over a month to start seeing results from what I've read around, so roughly 5-7 bottles.

Bim gave me dark circles under the eyes

oh boy.

dark circles?

lipauly, i very much doubt that bim gave you dark circles

the dark circles from minox are to do with its effects on the vasculature and blood pressure locally....this then becomes systemic and effects the eyes

bimatoprost is a prostaglandin which doesn't share these effects, could it be that you're on other things which caused this?

[kobefan234]

lilpauly- does minox give you dark circles ? I have seen your face up close in the pics you posted and you dont have eye bags
