Minoxidil: A Youth Elixir For Eyebrow Hypotrichosis

This study investigated the effectiveness of 2% Minoxidil in treating eyebrow hypotrichosis in 22 subjects aged 18 years or older. Over a 4-month period, participants applied 1 mL of the lotion twice daily. Results showed significant improvements in eyebrow hair density and diameter, with average hair shaft diameter increasing from 0.034 mm to 0.07 mm and density from 17 to 30 hairs/cm². The global photographic score, reflecting subject satisfaction, improved from -2.1 to 2.3. Adverse events were mild, occurring in 22.72% of subjects. The study concluded that 2% Minoxidil was an effective and well-tolerated treatment for eyebrow hypotrichosis.
