An electrologist removed a large amount of my brows without my permission. Internet electrologists say that areas such as the face contain a lot of dormant follicles that can be stimulated to produce new hair through things like hormones. Do the eyebrows contain dormant follicles that have never produced hair but can be stimulated through things like Latisse and Rogaine, and if so, about how many?

Answer: Latisse will not grow new brow hair in places where there are no follicles
I have seen great results using Latisse to stimulate growth of eyebrow hair. Retin-A would not be helpful so you should use Latisse alone. I recommend against using generic Latisse, however as the name brand is much safer to ensure you're using the exact strength that is recommended.
There is no problem in using Latisse after cataract surgery and restor lenses, though I generally advise waiting a minimum of 1 week, and ideally 2 weeks after the surgery. The Latisse will give you lush darker, thicker and longer lashes better than any other product on the market. Note that...
Eventually the longer, thicker, darker lashes that you have achieved by using Latisse will fall out which is part of their normal growth cycle. If you are no longer using Latisse your new hairs will simply grow in as they normally did prior to using Latisse.
