Minoxidil instead of Latisse for permanent eyelashes growth?

Noddy5657
Hello, I know that Minoxidil is originally NOT intended for use on facial hair but on actual scalp hair only... however, a large amount of people have managed to grow a permanent beard using it everyday for an extended period of time... I would like to know if the same logic would apply to eyelashes, since they too are part of the "facial hair". IS THERE A POSSIBILITY that Minoxidil would allow one to grow extra terminal/permanent eyelashes ? Thanks by advance.
