lumigan for hair growth

Lumigan and latisse are the same chemical (bimatoprost). Latisse is suppose to be brushed into the lashes rather than put directly on the eye. All the medications in this group of glacoma medications stimulate eyelash growth: latanoprost (Xalatan brand name), Travatan-Z, Lumigan and Zioptan.

( with out prescription.

i am really looking for a good medication that helps me end hair loss. can you tell me if lumigan is good or not?

One of the drops in this family of glaucoma medicines (Lumigan) is sold in a different form (Latisse) by plastic surgeons and dermatologists for eye lash growth.

I have pseudo-exfoliation in left eye. Started out on xalatan, then switched over to Lumigan when I was Glaucoma Suspect with ocular pressure 21-30. Under control low 20's on Lumigan, optic nerve healthy, no visual fields defects on test 5 months ago. However, last visit hemorrhage on optic nerve found and added Alpgagan P to Lumigan, did not do a thing after 6 weeks, pressure 24 today. Dr.

I have taken Lumigan for open Angle Glaucoma for a couple of years in one eye only. In April the ophthalmologist asked me to put them in both eyes. I have no problems with that and my IOP is well controlled. However, I noticed my PVC's have gone up considerably since taken the drops. At first with only one eye I had about 15,000 per day, now with drops in both eyes they have gone up to almost 30,000 per day. There where no other medication changes during that time.

The makers of Lumigan recently started to market the very same drops under the name Latisse for eyelash growth. I understand that they also looked into using it as a treatment for baldness but its too expensive to cover a large area like the scalp. I am very disappointed at postings that indicate people feel their surgeons are pressuring them to upgrade to a multifocal IOL.

Also beta blocker eye drops are not as strong, or as long lasting as lumigan and beta blockers do not work at night whereas lumigan does. If you had side effects on BB before you likely would again. So if lumigan once/day is working well why try something new that likely will not work as well.

there is a very fine hair that grows from the corner of my eye, i pull it out when it gets long enough to irritate but it returns. its not an eyelash, its not from my eylid at all its from the pink fleshy area in the corner of my eye. Everyone i talk to about this says it is not possible but i know it is. what in world is this?

is there any other test besides that which indicates vision loss?i take lumigan once a night. for the past three years or so. I have only missed three times and let me tell youi remember those times how nice my eyes felt without the drops. no scratchy feeling, no tearing and especially very little red in my eyes. i almost felt that i looked normal. no one looking at my bloodshot eyes and commenting.

While I think I can provide some useful advice, there is obviously no cure for your problem and no easy answers. First the use of Lumigan. I really dislike Lumigan and try and never use it in my practice. It is notorious for causing red, irritated, inflammed eyes, permanent dark circles around the eyes and atrophy of the fat in the sockets causing sunk in looking eyes and droopy eye lids.

They are not the same medication. Lumigan was initially sold as 0.03% but there was a very high incidence or redness, scaling, irritation, inflamed eyelids severe enough to discontinue the medication. They then came out with the 0.01% and found that these side effects were lowered. Still though Lumigan is more irritating for most people than latanoprost and Travatan Z. You should also look at how much money you save. Many of the new generics are not that much less expensive than the brand name.

It's normal for these things to start happening following menopause due to testosterone. You can get help with this, however, by visiting a doctor and being prescribed certain hormones.

I lost a probably about 45% but luckily it thinned all over. the only part I had to hide was a receding hair line in the front (Like my dad has) So I didn't put my hair up and just combed long hair over for a while. I have been done with treatment for a couple months now..and my hair, (while still thinned out) is a completely different texture then it was on treatment. I noticed within a few weeks after tx the shine was back and it did not look so dead anymore.

With my first and second pregnancy my hair grew long and thick on my head. This pregnancy my hair is comings out everytime I wash it. The plug is full of my hair. Luckily for now you wouldn't notice because I have so much. It does appear to be growing faster tho.

Ok so im Africian American & Cambodian (50% mixed) & I'm 15weeks I tried to grow my hair for 6months but for the last 7weeks my hair grow 6inches .. & my legs and arm hairs been growing crazy . Has Anyone Else Hair Grew ??

Ive just let it grow for now lol i asked my bf n he said havent u got a friend that could do it?? Lol im going for a wax in a couple of weeks.

I needed an updated Rx for my glaucoma eyedrops and he switched me from the brand name Lumigan to the generic latanoprost as I had hoped! He mentioned it might help reduce the eye redness that Lumigan can cause. Hopefully it will maintain a similar IOP in my right eye - it was measured as 16 yesterday.

My hair was damaged bad before pregnancy and I heard your hair does grow faster so I cut it to a little above my shoulders at like around 4 months im now 9 months and it has grown to the middle of my back and feels so healthy and thick but I also stopped using heat on it as much and using heat protective stuff when I do

Really? I thought I was weird for growing hair on my stomach lol my boyfriend always makes fun of me.

Has anyone else had hair growth on their belly? Ever since I got pregnant my belly is super duper hairy, like grossly hairy. And thick too. I don't want to shave or wax cause I don't want it to come back even thicker but I'm starting to get self conscience cause its really gross! Will it go away?
