    TLDR Bimatoprost 0.01% effectively and safely improves eyebrow growth.
    A randomized, double-blinded, vehicle-controlled trial involving 40 patients evaluated the efficacy and safety of bimatoprost 0.01% for treating eyebrow hypotrichosis over 6 months. The study found that bimatoprost 0.01% significantly increased eyebrow hair density, diameter, and clinical assessments compared to the placebo (p < .001). Patients reported higher satisfaction with bimatoprost (p < .05), and adverse effects were minimal and similar between groups. The study concluded that bimatoprost 0.01% is effective, safe, and well-tolerated for enhancing eyebrows.

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

      in Research/Science  17 upvotes 4 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.
