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?

A: Latisse works on eyebrows too!

Jon Dishler, MD

Latisse grows hair, and it reportedly works on eyebrows also.  This is considered an "off label" use which means it has not been tested or approved by the FDA and can only be recommended by an individual doctor for an individual patient.  Therefore I can not advise you to use it this way,... more

A: 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.

I've been using Lumigan (same as Latisse) to re-grow my overplucked eyebrows quite successfully (just starting my 8th week). I had all but lost as much as a couple of millimetres on inner corner of both eyebrows - which just wouldn't regrow no matter what I did. They looked pretty strange! They are almost 100% back now and the general brow area is thickening up. I have experienced no hyperpigmentation (darkening) of the skin round my eyebrows. Hope you take courage from this - as I know I'm not alone in gaining brow regrowth with this product.
