    TLDR Both 0.01% and 0.03% bimatoprost safely improve eyebrow fullness, with a patient preference for the 0.03% concentration.
    This study compared the efficacy and safety of 0.01% versus 0.03% bimatoprost for treating eyebrow hypotrichosis in a randomized, double-blind, split-face clinical trial involving 30 patients. Both concentrations significantly improved eyebrow density and diameter, with no statistically significant differences between them. However, patients showed a significant preference for 0.03% bimatoprost in terms of clinical improvement and satisfaction. The study concluded that both concentrations are effective and safe, with 0.03% bimatoprost being slightly superior, though not statistically significant.

      community Why not Travopost? More effective than min, and stackable.

      in Research/Science  16 upvotes 3 months ago
      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.
