    TLDR Latisse is safe and effective for long-term eyelash growth in people with thin eyelashes from chemotherapy or unknown causes.
    The document reports on a one-year, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled study evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of LATISSE (bimatoprost 0.03% solution) for treating eyelash hypotrichosis in subjects with chemotherapy-induced and idiopathic hypotrichosis. A total of 368 subjects were randomized, with 238 having idiopathic hypotrichosis and 130 having post-chemotherapy hypotrichosis. The study's primary endpoint was the proportion of responders based on a composite measure of Global Eyelash Assessment (GEA) and Eyelash Satisfaction Questionnaire (ESQ) Domain-2 at month 4. Results showed that over 70% of subjects in both populations demonstrated increased eyelash prominence (>1 grade GEA improvement) following daily bimatoprost treatment, with no drug-related serious adverse events reported. The study concluded that daily application of LATISSE to the eyelid margin over a 1-year period was safe, well tolerated, and effective in both idiopathic and post-chemotherapy populations.

      in Research/Science  18 upvotes 1 year 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.

      community DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.

      in Research/Science  3 upvotes 1 year ago
      DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.
