Curious About Using Latisse on my Eyebrows. Is It Ok?

My eyebrows are as sparse and light as my eyelashes. I cannot express how much I hate having to practically draw them in daily. Is Latisse an option for this, or do you have any other recommendations?

Lastisse works on Eyebrows

Latisse can grow hair whereever it is placed, including the eyebrows. I have had patients who've tried to grow in their eyebrows with Latisse (off-label) and some have been successful at doing so.

Latisse Works For Eyebrows, Lower Lid Lashes, and Other Areas

Latisse works on eyebrows too!

Latisse grows hair, and it reportedly works on eyebrows also.

Therefore I can not advise you to use it this way, but in theory it should work so long as their are hair follicles present which can be stimulated. It may darken the skin beneath the eyebrows although this effect should be reversible and may... more

Latisse for Eyebrows

Latisse does work very well for regrowing eyebrow hairs. The follicles need to be alive and present even if the area has been overplucked. Try it! It should make them longer, thicker and darker.
