Interesting.

"Latisse may also promote hair growth in other skin areas that it frequently touch" -- hmm, could eventually be also used as cure for baldness?

Also in Wall Street Journal:

“Some physicians say Latisse may promote eyebrow growth, but this application hasn’t been systematically studied. Analysts said it is likely that Allergan will investigate other uses for its drug, including a more potent version for growing hair on bald heads.”

I have a friend on the glaucoma drug and she has grown the most gorgeous thick lashes,,never had them before.

I wonder if this will work for the loss of lashes from chemo,,

My Mom used it for her glaucoma. Her eyelashes grew very long and her eyes lids turned brown. The only problem was that her beautiful hazel eyes turned brown and the head aches from the Latisse.

Yes it would be a cure for baldness but you must remember NOT to rub it on with your bare hands.

My Dad’s wife used that for glaucoma and her eyelashes didn’t look any different. In fact she is an ugly little person. So I guess there were no benefits.

Brown eyes can be very pretty, but anything that’s going to change the colored part of the eye sounds too scary to me. What else is it doing to the eye, I wonder?

If it does prove safe, though, maybe it will lead to a way for people to change their eye color whenever they want to, without contact lenses.

I have been totally bald for 10 years. NO hair, not even eyebrows nor eyelashes. Doc call it "alopecia" which means "your hair fell out and we don't know why.

Eyelashes and brows are what I miss the most. I get dirt in my eyes ALL the time. I'm going to check with a dermatologist to see if this may work for me.
