www.baumanmedical.com — The prostaglandin-analog Bimatoprost, the active ingredient in Allergan’s Latisse, has been FDA-approved to increase eyelash growth. New research shows that scalp hair follicles contain prostaglandin receptors. Is Latisse the ‘new’ rogaine for people with scalp hair loss? Bauman patient, Howard G., tries the medication and reports some moderate hair growth from the treatment. Howard is not using any additonal medicaitons (like Propecia/finasteride or Minoxidil) and has not had a hair transplant. Since this video was posted, Allergan has initiated clinical trials to achieve FDA-approval of bimatoprost for hair growth.

    To me, it seems to be working about as good as minoxidil/rogaine. Not super spectacular, but certainly doing something to the miniaturized hair. –Dr. Bauman

    I wondered if that stuff would work on the head. Saw the Brooke Shields advertisement for it on Hulu.
