News Article Treatment of Vitiligo with bimatoprost ophthalmic solution

Posted by Kelly Ryan on July 2, 2011 at 7:59am
I found this interesting article online that showed promising results it is new posted only 2 days ago. I am a little confused as to what bimatoprost ophthalmic solution is? I typed it in google and the product called latisse came up, isn't that used to grow eye lashes? Has anyone else heard of this? What do you think of this as a treatment?

    my doctor prescribed my Lumigan (Bimatoprost). the bottle is only 3ml.

     

    it is to test a few spots. in France the bottle costs 16 euros 

    I start the test now

     

    I will keep you informed

     

    just be carefull with generic bimatoprost. keep it on fridge :

      wow that is great your doctor prescribed it. Keep us posted on your results. So far does it irritate your skin or anything?

      I am going to the doctor thursday to get the prescription yay! I really hope it will work :)

        Hey Kelly --this is cosmetic drug and it is used around eye ,,it must be safe for the skin ...you have to use it only on the spots ..I think it can hyper pigment , the best ting is that it can stimulate the melanocyts.

        Good luck with your doctor visit...I think it easier for dermatologist to order.

      Hey Safsound:- you are allways first remember the chekepa... ..he he...I m on other treatment and my face is ok now .....do you use it two times a day ...du you find it as liquiod or cream ?

       

      Waiting for your and others result .. ...noting works for everyone , but who knows it may work for you ...it is just to talk to a dermatalogist I hope many will try it.

        Hello Bamsegutt  ^^

        You're right ! I tested several treatments :

        - protopic

        - chickpeas cream

        - ginger root lotion

         

        But these treatments are too complicated  for me at the moment. I do not have time to do it carefully.

        I care for my autistic child as a priority

         

        Just now i eat lot of chickpeas and good diet. My vitiligo dont spread

         

        For this new teatments (bimatoprost) it's pretty easy to use. so I'll let you know if it works. but I think it takes a month or two

        I also ordered the ginkgo biloba also complement
