B*tch who the f*ck asked you?...QQ? ....and apparently you didn't READ or COMPREHEND anything that was said. It's also pretty apparent that I have extensive knowledge involving health/medical/surgical procedures and know infection when I see it. (which by the way this lady has tissue necrosis) Anyway, I stated the truth & nothing but facts. Maybe your sensitive ass is the type to pacify grown men & women when they have clearly done something stupid, but I am not. This lady came here looking for sympathy for making a careless decision, and got told the truth by several posters. Now take your stupid sensitive ignorant ass on somewhere & mind your business.

Yes it works on sparse eyebrows. This is an amazing product. I buy the generic Lumigan called Careprost for $25. I hit my 16 week mark last year, now I only apply it every blue moon just to maintain. My eyelashes look so FAKE now :) I am not concerned about the color change because that only happens when you put drops directly into the eye. It does cause darkening of the skin that it touches. It looks good though, like I have on very light eyeliner. This is because I placed it precisely where my eyelash roots were. Right now I am using an iris lightener, so I am careful to only apply careprost every blue moon to maintain my lashes, maybe 3 times a month.

You need to educate yourself on these "Foreign" pharmacies. Canadian pharmacies have been selling prescription drugs to us for the longest. Canadian pharmacies will continue to thrive because medications within the US are ridiculously HIGH. Also realize that US Pharmacies get a lot if not MOST of our prescription drugs from Canada & over seas. They buy these meds 400% cheaper than what they are sold to the public. Lumigan is $103 at CVS without insurance but it $24 a bottle at many online pharmacies...Explain that. A lot of medicine and medical materials aren't even products created by the US like Restilyne which is made in Sweden.Just because the FDA approves something doesn't make it SAFE for everyone, and just because something isn't FDA approve doesn't make it unsafe for every one (i.e. Vitamin C). Ambien is FDA approved & has some severe side effects for some people. Ambien hypnotic drug used to treat insomnia -- one with very serious, impairing and sometimes hallucinogenic side effects. Like sleepwalking, driving while asleep, violent behavior while a sleep & eating while asleep.Drug rehabilitation centers worldwide realize that Ambien can cause dangerous side effects, as they have seen and heard accounts of Ambien-induced activities. Narconon of Georgia describes Ambien's effects on the mind and behavior as follows: "A variety of abnormal thinking and behavior changes have been reported to occur in association with the use of sedative/ hypnotics. Some of these changes may be characterized by decreased inhibition (e.g., aggressiveness and extroversion that seemed out of character), similar to effects produced by alcohol and other CNS depressants. Other reported behavioral changes have included bizarre behavior, agitation, hallucinations, and depersonalization. Amnesia and other neuropsychiatric symptoms may occur unpredictably. In primarily depressed patients, worsening of depression, including suicidal thinking, has been reported in association with the use of sedative/hypnotics." Can you explain why the FDA hasn't pulled this drug off the market!? It's because the pharmaceutical companies have paid way too much for them to approve it thats why. Anyone that knows anything about the FDA KNOWS if you have enough money you can get ANYTHING approved by them. A person with good sense would rely on clinical studies & reviews on said treatment/medications from people who have used them. There are a million & one drugs on the market that are not FDA and have been safely used for YEARS.

It was a VALID response. Just because the FDA approves something doesn't make it SAFE for everyone, and just because something isn't FDA approve doesn't make it unsafe for every one (i.e. Vitamin C).

As for buying medications from over seas, you and others need to realize MOST of our meds & medical materials (i.e.Restilyne,Phosphatidylcholine,etc) come from over seas. They buy meds 400% cheaper than what they are sold to the public.

I use the generic Lumigan (Careprost) and I pay $62 for three 3ml bottles @ {edit}...First of all let me say that IT WORKS. I have been using it for 3 weeks now but I saw a difference in less than a week. My lashes & eye brows are way thicker and I only apply once a day. Next week I am going to increase the dosage to twice a day and leave it at that. I also use it on my hairline to thicken it up, I have seen just a little change because I had ran out soon after I first started using, and had to wait until my next shipment got here. Which is why I am definitely gonna try this {edit} everyone is talking about on other posts. At $10 a bottle that would be great & enable me to purchase way more product. For those who have seen little change or no change yet after a few weeks, all I can say is people are different. I saw change after less than 7 days. I also haven’t experienced certain side effects like redness or itching of the eyes, but my eyelids have gotten a little darker right above where my eyelashes are on my top lids. It doesn’t look bad, it looks like I have a little bit of eye shadow on(funny because I don’t wear make-up *ha*). I started using bleaching cream to counter act that. I have noticed that people who had a decent amount of eyelashes before use have the greatest & most significant results with Bimatoprost. Their lashes are REALY long & thick like hair on someone’s head *haha*. People who had very little lashes & bald spots before use have a SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT but they don’t seem to get those long thick luxurious lashes. Judging by the way my lashes/eye brows have responded so far & the fact that I had a decent amount of lashes before use, I believe that I am going to get some great results after 16 weeks of use. Oh and the reason I use it on my hairline because it’s a little bit thin from past stressful hairstyling, it’s noticeable to me because the rest of my hair is really thick. I got the idea to use Bimatoprost (Lumigan,Careprost) on my hairline when I saw this lady on YouTube that claimed she used it on her scalp. She said her hair was thinning right after she had her baby. The title of the video is: “Latisse Causes Hair To Grow Anywhere”
