Clinical Use of Topical Bimatoprost 0.03%

    TLDR Latisse (bimatoprost 0.03%) is widely used in dermatology but the document doesn't give detailed evidence or numbers.
    The article reviewed the use of topical bimatoprost 0.03% for enhancing eyelash growth, supported by a pivotal trial with 278 subjects, showing it effectively stimulated eyelash follicles to stay longer in the growth phase and increased melanin production, resulting in longer, thicker, and darker eyelashes. It was generally safe with mild side effects like irritation and skin hyperpigmentation. The article also noted promising off-label uses for eyebrow hypotrichosis, vitiligo, and scalp alopecia, suggesting further potential in dermatologic applications. Additionally, studies confirmed its effectiveness and safety in promoting eyelash growth and suggested potential benefits for treating scalp alopecia areata.

      community Can we have a thread that summarizes all treatments options in addition to the big 3 which we have some evidence for, their mechanism of action and whether they can be combined with the big 3(other than dermarolling)?

      The conversation discusses hair loss treatments beyond the commonly known three, focusing on separating effective treatments from myths. Dutasteride and low-dose oral Minoxidil are mentioned as having clinical evidence for increasing hair counts, but with potential side effects.

      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.

      Oral minoxidil is causing body hair growth but not improving scalp hair, despite using dutasteride and finasteride. Users suggest waiting longer for results, checking vitamin levels, and considering additional treatments like topical minoxidil, dermarolling, and supplements.
