Can you medically grow eyebrows with prescribed medicine?

Question

My eyebrows have naturally been thin. I think t is because of genetics,but is there any way for you to make them grow nice, full & thick?

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

Nice and thick may not be possible but a real nice improvement can occur in about 20-30 % with pharmacological agents such as minoxidil, bimatoprost (Latisse). Hair transplantation is also a great option in select cases.  Other options such as PRP and essential oils are less effective. Be sure to get a diagnosis as to why your brows have thinned. The above only applies to age related and genetic thinning. If eyebrow loss is due to scarring alopecia or other autoimmune causes, regrowth may or may not be possible and treatments are different than the above.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

I would first want to examine you to find out if there is a cause of eyebrow loss. If there is not and you are normal to an examination, the drug Latisse (very expensive) may work on the eyebrow
