Is latisse effective on eyebrows?

Question

I have non existent eyebrows. Would latisse work in adding for definition to them so they can be styled. At the moment my eyebrows are just 2 short likes that aren't even aligned.

Peter N. Butler, MD, FACS · Answer

Latisse can safely be used to treat sparse eyebrow hairs. Only apply the product where you would like the hairs to grow/ thicken. You may find trimming the disposable Latisse brush gives you better precision. Consistent  use is key when you are trying to enhance both the eyelashes and the eyebrows.

Latisse can help regrow eyebrows. I recommend this in combination with prp and progesterone. I suggest getting a formal consultation with a hair loss expert. Best, Dr. Emer

While Latisse is not FDA approved for use on the eyebrows, there have been studies that show Latisse is effective for improving the length and thickness of eyebrow hair. It certainly is a product you can benefit from. I would recommend consulting with a doctor for a prescription.

Latisse was studied on eyebrows in 2012 and did show improvement in brow density, thickness, and color/darkness.  Allergan (owner of latisse) does not have FDA approval at this time, but it is often used "off label" for brow treatment.  They are currently working on an study for FDA approval.  I recommend it to my patients all the time for brow improvement.  I would definitely give it a try!  Good luck!

Bimatoprost 0.03 %, marketed under the trade name "Latisse" was FDA approved in 2008 for treating thin eyelashes (called eyelash hypotrichosis). Latisse helps the eyebrows a bit. Dr. Jean Carruthers and colleagues set out to study whether Latisse benefits the eyebrows in those with sparse eyebrows. They performed a randomized double blind study of 357 adults with eyebrow thinnng (hyotrichosis). 118 patients received Latisse twice daily for 7 months, 118 received Latisse once daily for 7 months and 121 patients received a placebo daily. The primary end point of the investigation was eyebrow fullness after 7 months of use. In general, bimatoprost helped more than placebo and twice daily was only slightly better than once daily - but not by much. Subjects using Latisse once daily or twice daily had better improvements in brow fullness and darkness compared to placebo. 18 % of those using Latisse twice daily were "very satisfied" with their new brows compared to 17 % using once daily and 11.6 % using the placebo. In general, one should be prepared to wait at least two months in order to see results. Side effects were similar in all groups and there were no reports of skin hyperpigmentation or iris color change. Conclusion: Latisse can be safely used to try to stimualte eyebrow growth in those with thin brows. The effects on growth are modest and once daily is sufficient.
