Comparative study of the efficacy and safety of topical minoxidil 2% versus topical bimatoprost 0.01% versus topical bimatoprost 0.03% in treatment of eyebrow hypotrichosis: a randomized controlled trial.

Eyebrows, those framing features that help us express emotions and protect our eyes, can sometimes become sparse, leaving a void in our appearance. This study explores the effectiveness of two different medications, minoxidil and bimatoprost, in promoting eyebrow growth. The researchers conducted a randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of different concentrations of bimatoprost to minoxidil in individuals with eyebrow hypotrichosis, seeking to identify the most effective treatment option. The study found that both bimatoprost and minoxidil were effective in promoting eyebrow growth, with bimatoprost at a higher concentration showing a slightly more favorable response.
