      community Is latanoprost/bimatoprost actually that effective?

      in Product  8 upvotes 3 years ago
      Latanoprost/bimatoprost's effectiveness in hair loss treatment is discussed, with its potential to convert vellus hairs to terminal hairs. It works differently from minoxidil and finasteride, and may be best for hairline application, but is not a replacement for them due to price and mechanism.
