I have alopecia since I was 19, now I'm 38. This time, my right eye lashes have all fallen out, I look like a statue in a church. So I really need to know what can I use for having at least my lashes back. I know alopecia has no cure and I live with it day-by-day, I don't mind also not having hair in the rest of my body, but eyelashes and eyebrows, I refuse the idea. I will really need help choosing something like Latisse for my lashes recovery. Will it be ok if I buy it? Thanks, Peruvian in Montreal!!!
Answer: Alopecia Lash We have only experience with one alopecia patient who was on a clinical trial for bimataprost for 6 weeks. She did not have result on bimataprost but when we tested her on MD Lash Factor for 6 weeks she had positive responsive. It is possible that for alopecia patient it will take longer to see result than non-alopecia patient and that she would have had result on bimataprost had she extended her usage for longer duration.

Answer: Latisse and Alopecia Latisse is being evaluated for several types of alopecia so there is no reason not to try it on your alopecia that you are describing. It is considered an off-label use anywhere but the eyelashes but we know from early work that it seems to be making a significant benefit in many. I would consult a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon and make sure that someone is monitoring your condition and making sure that everything is going the way it should while on treatment. You have alopecia – it sounds like areata but may or may not be – so I would suggest a dermatologist to make sure that this is handled correctly as well.
