What Can You Use to Grow Back Your Eyebrows?

Thank you for your question.  Latisse is FDA approved for eyelashes.  Typically the lashes appear longer in a month, thicker the next month, and darker after that.  Use in other places is considered "off-label."  There is now literature that supports eyebrow regrowth.  We have also seen that clinically in our practice.  Jeffrey J.

You can try minoxidil or Latisse in the eyebrow area.  The problem with these medications for many people is that you have to keep them up.  A transplant may seem like a large procedure for this area but it is permanent and typically a relatively simple office procedure.  I would recommend that you educate yourself more on all of these options with a consultation to find out which is  right for you.  Good luck!

There is no medication clinically proven to grow eyebrows. Some doctors recommend trying other clinically proven hair growth medicines, such as Rogaine/minoxidil (for the scalp) or Latisse/bimatoprost (for the eyelashes) on the eyebrows. These may or may not work.


The only safe, proven method for eyebrow restoration is eyebrow transplant.

If the eyebrow hair is secondary to shaving or trimming frequently it will not come back.  There have been reports that Latisse can stimulate hair growth and the only other option is an eyebrow transplant. 

First, a thorough examination and blood tests to make sure that there is no underlying systemic problem like thyroid issues.  If everything comes back normal, I inject some patients with intralesional cortisone.  This generally gives a prompt response.  Other options are topical minoxidil or topical Rogaine.  It may take several months of application to see a change.
