    The document reported one of the first cases of significant eyebrow hair growth in a patient using topical bimatoprost for eyebrow hypotrichosis. Although bimatoprost was FDA approved in 2008 for eyelash hypotrichosis, its use for other hair growth areas like the scalp or eyebrows had been advocated by some physicians without published scientific evidence until this case.

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

      in Research/Science  16 upvotes 3 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.
