Can You Apply Both Latisse and Retin-A to Eyebrows to Regrow Hair?

July 21, 2010
Asked By:5781anon in CA

An electrologist removed a lot of my brows without my permission. I've been applying Retin-A to the area nightly for the past 10 months, but I still have sparse hair and bald areas. Is it safe for me to start applying generic Latisse there now to see if that grows hair better, and could I continue with the Retin-A and use both that and Latisse?
