My friend Brittney asked how I was doing so I thought I'd share my progress to date. Well the injections of the Kenalog Cortisone seem to be wroking nicely. I have a full brow line on the left side and a bit more blotchy brow coming in on the right.
I'd say it will be a success in about another month to 6 weeks. The hairs coming in are thick and dark just like my pre- fall out hairs were. I am feeling much more confident about my overall look and would be very grateful if I could stay at this point going forward.
My lovely Doctor advised me to continue with the topical application of the Lumigan on a couple of specific points on each brow to gauge the response. I am sorry to say that there has been nothing so far at these particular points.
I was also using the Lumigan on my eyelids to start the regrowth of my eyelashes, but there has been no indication of growth at all there. It has been over 6 weeks now and the protocol was such that something should have started by now. I am using a drop on each eyelid and applying with a "Microbrush" one time per day in the evening before bed.
I am seeing my Doc tomorrow afternoon so I will wait and see what she says- she will likely say to keep on with the Lumigan, but I am not that hopeful of having eyelashes back. I heard the injections will work, but I don't like the idea of injecting my eyelids! Maybe for the ladies it's a bit more important but you can always go with the stick-on things if you are going glam for an evening or something.
Anyway, I'll see what the Doc says and write an update tomorrow.
