No one even knows if this will work yet. The whole "Minoxidil on steroids" thing is something developed by people on these forums, not by the company or any actual hair researchers. Minoxidil is supposed to stop one from losing hair. Bimatoprost is supposed to change the qualities of the hair that is already growing.
The general idea is that if it worked at a minimum it would make existing hairs thicker, longer, and darker. So if diffuse thinners still had a lot of small hairs, then if it worked it would kind of bring these back to some extent. If the hair follicles between the ones that are more or less normal stopped growing almost completely a long time ago, then it would probably be less effective. This is the thinking expressed by the company and the researchers in charge of the project. But again, we do not know yet if it will work at all. There is also the possibility that it could generate new follicles (see this article: http://www.jaad.org/article/S0190-96.../abstract?cc=y).
