2 / 801 results- Can a lash-growth serum like bimatoprost actually work for your scalp? Bimatoprost (Latisse) is approved for eyelashes, not the scalp; two Allergan phase 2 trials in men with androgenetic alopecia posted results to ClinicalTrials.gov but were never published in a peer-reviewed journal, so scalp use remains off-label and experimental.
- How does bimatoprost compare to minoxidil for hair regrowth? Minoxidil is FDA-approved for scalp hair loss and backed by decades of large trials; bimatoprost is approved only for eyelashes, and the published scalp evidence is limited to small short studies, so on the scalp it is off-label and experimental.
