I have never had a good hairline so I know it doesn't look this way due to receding, but I desperately want to grow hair around my hairline area, specifically up by my temples. Is Latisse effective when doing this or do you have any other recommendations that aren't too expensive and don't involve any kind of transplant or sugery. Thank you :)
Answer: Latisse for head hair growth Thank you for your question. As Latisse is a very small bottle and could be rather expensive for hair growth on the head with the amount of product you would need, I would suggest a prescription for Minoxidil. Your doctor or hair specialist can prescribe this for you. I hope this answers your question:)

Answer: Latisse for head Latisse isn't a strong enough product for the scalp. Also, it would be very expensive since bottles are very small for Latisse. There are several surgical and non-surgical options to restore your hairline. Recommended non-surgical procedures would include Platelet-Rich Plasma treatments (PRP), iGrow Low Level Laser Therapy, or hair loss prescriptions. Surgical options include Hair Transplant or Follicular Unit Extraction. Consult with a board certified physician to find out whether non-surgical options will give you the results you're looking for.

Answer: Latisse Latisse is used to improve and extend the length of eyelashes it is not guaranteed to work on other areas such as the scalp. A better product that improves the condition of hair loss would be called reviviogen it is used for both men and women. Best, Alex Khadavi MD

Answer: Latisse for the scalp Latisse (bimatoprost) is not very effective for scalp hair growth at the current concentration of 0.03 %. Allergan (the company which makes Latisse) is currently studying higher doses (1 and 3%). Stay tuned - these higher doses may prove beneficial for a range of indications.

Answer: Latisse for scalp hair loss Hey abbie009, Thank you for this question I am surprised not many have asked that on this platform. let me answer it for you, first a quick refresher, we use latisse for eyelashes, this is what the FDA approves it for, so if you begin to use it elsewhere, you are using off label. In 2011, Allergan (the company that owns latisse) did a trial where they set out to see if latisse could be used with hairloss patients. Even though some patients had thicker hair, the results were not that promising in the majority of patients. They found that the results were not better compared to other drugs on the market (ie rogaine) There are many theories as to why this doesnt help, one is that latisse helps active hair follicles that are making hair, in hair loss the follicle sort of shrinks and doesnt make hair as well or any more. The other issue is cost, assuming you will be using latisse on your scalp that would mean an overly expensive bill ( 150 dollars for 12 months for 5 or 10 years is a lot of money) so its best you seek a hairspecialist with an interest in hair transplantation as they can help better guide you to your best option. hope this helps a bit This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional.
