Glossary Eyelash Growth

natural process where eyelashes develop and lengthen over time

Eyelash growth refers to the natural process by which eyelashes develop and lengthen over time. This process occurs in three phases: anagen (active growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting). Factors such as genetics, age, and health can influence the rate and quality of eyelash growth. Treatments like serums containing prostaglandin analogs can enhance this growth by prolonging the anagen phase.

learn Latanoprost

glaucoma medication with hair follicle stimulant effects

How long does it usually take to see results from latanoprost for hair growth? There is no established timeline: the only human scalp trial, a 16-man pilot, measured a hair-density increase at 24 weeks using latanoprost 0.1% — twenty times the strength of the glaucoma eye drop — and faster figures quoted elsewhere come from eyelash and animal observations. Scalp use is off-label and experimental.
How does latanoprost work to make eyelashes and possibly scalp hair grow? Studies report that latanoprost, a prostaglandin analog, lengthens the anagen (growth) phase of hair follicles, which is the mechanism given for the eyelash thickening seen in glaucoma patients; on the scalp the evidence is one 16-man pilot study and animal work, so the effect there is unproven.

learn Bimatoprost

a synthetic prostamide used to treat eyelashes also shows promise for stimulating hair growth on scalp

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.
