My eyebrows and eyelashes thinned appreciatively during and post chemo and never really grew back. My beard on the other hand came back without issue. Eyebrows are very thin and hardly have any eyelashes. MO says its do to the lack of androgen. Any solutions?

Latisse (bimatoprost) will regrow both. It is made for eyelashes, but it works on eyebrows too. It is a LOT cheaper to buy "Bimat" or "Careprost" from alldaychemist.com, even with the $15 shipping charge (from India).

Thx Tall_allen. I did try bimatoprost from a Canadian pharmacy. It's not really working. And I think its because there's no androgen available to initiate the growth.

Odd. It works with women who have very low androgen levels. Maybe estrogen helps.
