      community Topical bimatoprost or latanoprost

      in Product  11 upvotes 1 week ago
      OP is considering adding topical bimatoprost or latanoprost to their hair loss treatment, which already includes oral minoxidil, and is seeking reliable sources for these products. Users discuss the effectiveness and sourcing of these treatments, with some using bimatoprost for both hairline and eyelashes, and others planning to use latanoprost mixed with finasteride.

      community Is latanoprost/bimatoprost actually that effective?

      in Product  7 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.
