TLDR Bimatoprost cream can help regrow hair in baldness.
The document "Preparation of topical bimatoprost with enhanced skin infiltration and in vivo hair regrowth efficacy in androgenic alopecia" discusses a study where a topical formulation of bimatoprost was prepared to enhance skin infiltration and improve hair regrowth in androgenic alopecia. The study found that the prepared bimatoprost formulation significantly improved hair regrowth in a mouse model of androgenic alopecia, suggesting its potential as a treatment for this condition. The formulation was found to have enhanced skin infiltration properties, which could contribute to its efficacy. The exact number of mice used in the study was not mentioned in the document.
