Eyebrows are an important cosmetic element of our face. Thinning eyebrows can cause considerable distress. In this video we look at the use of prostaglandin analogue eyedrops, usually used for glaucoma, and their effectiveness in improving the density and thickness of the eyebrow hairs.

[@mianshahmirali1607]

Thank you for the amazing video. The internet is full of Doctors who claim that prostaglandin eyebrow growth serums can cause fat loss around the eyes. Is it true?

[@DiscoverDermatology]

Prostaglandin based treatments do seem to help but needs to be the formulations mentioned in the video.

[@DiscoverDermatology]

There are various reasons for folliculitis and it can be difficult to manage at times. All the treatments you have mentioned seem very reasonable. We may need to consider pityrosporum folliculitis as a possible diagnosis too. Here is a video on it

Another natural treatment that may help follicular problems is vitamin A. Here is a video on it

If I stop using these drops will my eyebrows go back to being not as thick and dense

[@DiscoverDermatology]

Yes, there is a possibility of recurrence of hair loss once stopped. It may need to be continued long term. There is no good data on this at present.

Sir if i stop using minoxidil + finasteride solution after starting minoxidil tab, then how to substitute finasteride??

[@DiscoverDermatology]

Topical finasteride is probably a good substitute for oral finasteride.

It is only a rare side effect.
