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.
