Latisse has been used on hairlines with some success

[Flowers]

So apparently this guy used Latisse on his hairline and it thickened it up. I believe it said Dr. Bauman has been prescribing it to patients with 70% success. Interesting!

I don't know if anyone should take this sort of anecdote as indication that bimatoprost really is effective at addressing baldness. Here's a clip of a hair-transplant surgeon saying he achieved no positive results from trying it on a patient of his:



Besides, Latisse runs ~$150.00 for 3mL. If you were to use two milliliters/day (as is suggested with minoxidil), you'd run a monthly bill of $3,000.00. I know people in this forum love to jump all over the place hollering, "MONEY'S NO OBJECT! I'D MORTGAGE MY LIFE IN A HEART-BEAT FOR A SINGLE HAIR TO EMBRACE MY SHINY HEAD!" but a price-tag like that just is unreasonable for most people (figure $36,000.00/year for the potion).

Lol, he's "completely satisfied."

A blind man could tell those before and after photos looked alike.

meh.

The reporter says, right before, "Dr. Bauman measured no visible changes in pigmentation, length, and thickness of Howard's hair"; I think Howard's "so far, so good; I'm completely satisfied" comment is to convey he has no regrets about giving the treatment a shot.

While i don't think the product is ready for prime time yet. At least it's a start in the development of a new therapy.
Also if you listen closely to the clip the commentator did not say no change he said noticeable change. I had to listen to it three times to be sure.

I think you might be right: "no visible" might be "noticeable" (1:50, in the clip).

How much of the stuff was used, anyway?

I read an article saying the guy (who was only a norwood 2) used 3 drops per temple a day, each bottle contains 60 Drops, so each bottle will only last 10 days...if you were a norwood 3-4 you would need more drops, so this seems a bit too expensive even at £17 a bottle...

This looks like it has potential but yes, a little expensive.
