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 have used powder, but it doesn't seem to cover the bare areas as well as the SmartBrow. The SmartBrow is much like mascara which thickens and stays in place until you take it off with the makeup remover (included with purchase). It has a tiny brush on one side to fill in bare areas and a mascara-type wand to coat the entire brow area on the other end. However, as much as I like the product, I've only purchased it twice because it's so darn expensive. One tube is $29.95, and it lasts only about 6-8 weeks.
I have had good luck with using Elidel cream on my brows. On was nearly gone but now I just use a little eye shadow to fill in. The powder works better for me tan a pencil.
I started using 5% Rogaine foam eyebrows as well as my head as soon as I was diagnosed with ffa almost a year ago. My eyebrows have gotten thinner over the years, but my doctor said that they were not affected by the ffa yet. My eyebrows and eyelashes have both gotten thicker as a result. I don't use the Rogaine around my eyes, but my eyelashes have gotten so long that I now have a problem with my mascara leaving dots all around my eyes before it dries. I did have an initial shed a couple weeks after starting Rogaine, but I never noticed losing any eyebrows.
Does anyone know if any of this stuff is available on prescription? I have seen some eyelash serum available on line and I am thinking of buying some. it all seems so hit and miss as to what to do.
