Does Minoxidil kill facial fat due to prostaglandin stimulation?

sarangah
Hello, I came across a question here on RealSelf where a doctor stated to stop any usage of eyelash/brow growth serums as they grow hairs containing prostaglandins that kill eyelid/brow fat. That made me have an "aha" moment because I have been on minoxidil for a year now and wonder if my facial fat loss has anything to do with minoxidil use, as I have had an increase in facial hair as a result. Thank you.
