    TLDR Bimatoprost is more effective than sweet almond oil for enhancing eyebrow growth.
    The study on 27 young women over 10 weeks found that bimatoprost significantly improved eyebrow density (70% vs. 30%; p = 0.003) and hair elongation (59% vs. 26%; p = 0.014) compared to sweet almond oil, with higher satisfaction rates (66% vs. 22%; p < 0.001). Adverse events were minor and resolved spontaneously. The study concludes that bimatoprost is effective and safe for enhancing eyebrow growth, but larger studies are needed for further validation.

      Travoprost may be more effective than minoxidil for hair growth and can be used alongside it, but its effectiveness is debated due to inconsistent dosing results. Travoprost is expensive and not widely used, with alternatives like latanoprost and bimatoprost being more accessible.
