Travoprost or Bimatoprost or Latanoprost for Hair Regrow and Change of Color Eye

CHRISTOSDec 2, 2011
Dear Dr I want to use travoprost or Bimatoprost or latanoprost for hair regrow. I have read that travoprost or Bimatoprost or latanoprost has side effect like the change of color of the eye (colored part of the eye) . It is possible to change the color of eyes if someone uses only the scalp? I am afraid why i have blue eyes, and i wantn’t to change color.

Restinoids can cause hair loss. These are typically orally ingested, however. If the retinoid pads are not applied in the hairy area, it should not typically result in hair loss. You should consult a local dermatologist about your use of retinoids and your concern.
