The conversation discusses sourcing pure latanoprost from the gray market for research and making a homemade solution. Concerns about potential dangers and experiences with this method are raised.
A user is starting treatment for hair loss with topical minoxidil, oral finasteride, and is considering adding topical latanoprost but is unsure about the application frequency and method for latanoprost. They are seeking advice from others with experience using these treatments.
Hair loss treatment with latanoprost, minoxidil, and biotin showed progress. Latanoprost, a glaucoma drug, stimulates anagen phase and increases conversion of vellus hair to terminal hair.
Latanoprost for hair loss is available in Canada at Ford's Family Pharmacy in New Brunswick, with up to 0.03% concentration, six times stronger than glaucoma medication Xalatan.
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.
