Reader Experience with Latisse on Scalp

I would like to share my experience with latisse. I am 27. I am prone to balding as we have the genes in our family (father, uncle, and grandfather are bald!). However, I have not experienced any balding since I use propecia regularly (only a half a pill every day or every other day) and also use latisse on my scalp every other 2 days. My hair is thick, dark, youthful, and excellent. My hairline is still practically a juvenile hairline and rests at the upper crest of my brow. These combo of meds (propecia + latisse) seem to be protecting my juvenile hairline even into my late 20s.

Most people in their late 20s are unable to retain a youthful hairline. I started using propecia at only 22, and have added bimatoprost in at 27 years of age. I also use the latisse on my eyebrows every once in a while for the heck of it and my eyebrows are thick and dark as well. I have had absolutely no side effects from the latisse other than my hair becoming darker. It may be a cure/preventative measure to gray hair possibly.

Thanks for sharing! It sounds like you started on Propecia as a preventive treatment not for obvious balding (which I don’t generally recommend) and then added Latisse just for kicks years later. Since there are two medications in use, it would be difficult to pinpoint which of them (or perhaps both) are keeping your hairline intact. It could be possible that the MPB gene skipped you altogether, as it can skip generations. I’m not sure why you’d think Latisse could cure of prevent gray hair, as you’re not likely to see a lot of gray hairs anyway at 27 years old…

But this is interesting, and I do appreciate your 2 cents. If these treatments are working for you and the costs can be afforded, it is tempting to ponder a more extensive study, which I hope is already underway. I am happy that you’re not seeing any side effects. I hope you’re meeting with your prescribing doctor to keep track of your progress, particularly with using Latisse on your scalp, which I’d classify as experimental at this point.
