Hello All, I am venturing into new territory. It just dawned on me that a good experiment would be to try a medical grade CBD oil tincture on my hairline and see if it affects the redness. CBD is the nonpsychoactive part of marijuana that is being…Continue

I'm responding to Brenda fro IL--I too have tried to make peace and accept this condition for what it is...I just invested in a topper that was made for me and still getting used to the idea of wearing it but even my son and husband didn't initially notice....they thought I had just had a blow out! I too have tried injections, different meds. foam-and finally decided it was time to smile and move forward. (Not always easy but necessary for my sanity) Thanks1
My dermatologist tells me that Latisse will grow here on 'anything'.....but that is not always the case, from what I have read here. Some cannot use it at all because it is very irritating to the skin, or can be. It is also expensive. However, it is worth a shot I think for anyone who wants to try it for eyebrows or lashes .
I already have lost my eyebrows. Do you think the Latisse will work to bring them back?
Most insurance plans in the U.S. (not sure where you are located) won't cover it unless you are diagnosed with glaucoma (the original intent of this medicine). I always ask my derm for a 1 year prescription (12 bottles) and then I order them through a Canadian pharmacy in 3 bottle increments. Three bottles cost a little less than $60...which lasts me for at least 3 months. This is the pharmacy I use and they have always been reliable. http://www.bigmountaindrugs.com/ Also, I order Bimatoprost [Generic version of Lumigan] .03% 3 ml. bottles (Lumigan is the same as Latisse here in the US).
Thank you, Maddy : ) That makes me feel better again gaining hair back...Latisse is so expensive, so I am just curious if it were written as a prescription here, would my insurance cover it ? I am writing down the generic name to help. Much appreciated!
I have been using Latisse on my eyebrows and eyelashes for years (basically since I first started noticing loss) and it works for me. I get a prescription from my dermatologist and order it from Canada (generic Bimatoprost) and I am almost positive that this has saved my eyebrows.
Hello all- I am curious about the use of Latisse to grow eyebrows back. After 4 weeks of topical steroid spray, this is the recommendation of my dermatologist to get hair back. Has anyone had any success with this product?
