Spex’s eyebrow documentation with Lumigan (bimatoprost ophthalmic 0.03%)
Spex’s eyebrow experiment and documentation with Lumigan (bimatoprost ophthalmic 0.03% solution ).
I’ve never had the strongest eyebrows and after speaking to many people and in particular Dr Feriduni regarding eyebrows I’ve decided to do an experiment which I intend to document here to see the benefits of applying Lumigan for 8-12 months to see if and to what degree it can help bulk up and assist my weak eyebrows. Patients I have spoken too who have applied this to their eyebrows have spoken of solid improvements.
I have a number of baby/miniaturized hairs in the eyebrow that hopefully with the use of Lumigan I can strengthen and salvage - Time will tell.
Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analogue sold in the US, Canada and Europe by the pharmaceutical company Allergan. It was first marketed under the trade name Lumigan (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.01% or 0.03%) to reduce intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. In the UK you require a private prescription from your GP for it.
Researchers noticed the drug had the side effect of stimulating eyelash growth and darkening of the eyelashes in patients with glaucoma.
Allergan re-applied for US Food and Drug Administraton (FDA) approval for bimatoprost for the cosmetic purpose of eyelash growth under the new name Latisse.
In December 2008, bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% was approved by the FDA as a treatment for eyelash hypotrichosis (inadequate or not enough eyelashes).

It isn't cheap however with a private PX from GP its doable here in the UK. 1 3ML bottle cost me £45 which will last on eyebrows 2+ months... 1 drop per brow per day - I will let you know how i get on and how long bottle lasts :-)

Here is a picture i took today - Definite improvement even after 2 months in my opinion. Might not be so clear in pic but in person I'm feeling an improvement. Will be interesting to see what next 4-8 weeks brings.

not to be mean, but what is the point of this thread? bimatoprost is already proven to regrow eyelashes and eye brows which this thread confirms? what about actual scalp hair??
