There is some very exciting research on this product in the other hair forums. Athena Cosmetics is the company that launched RevitaLash Eyelash that actually works according to many women-Youtube results?
According to their press release 'Hair by RevitaLash is a hair conditioner that fortifies and strengthens hair so it appears thicker, fuller and more attractive. In pre-market tests, the appearance of test subjects' hair was noticeably improved after just two weeks of daily use of Hair by RevitaLash.' Anyones experience with this product would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

It sound like a hair volumizing conditioner which works by hydrating the follicles, fattening them to make them appear thicker. A number of shampoos and conditioners to this, but aren't proven to reverse the affects of male pattern baldness.
Best wishes, Bill

Bimatoprost and latanoprost are prostaglandin analogs that have been used topically as eye drops to control glaucoma. They appear to work by managing intraocular pressure in the eyes. Some patients using ophthalmic prostaglandins like bimatoprost and latanoprost noted that they had grown longer and lush eyelashes. Based on those reports Allergan initiated clinical trials investigating the use of bimatoprost as a cosmetic drug. In December 2008, the FDA approved bimatoprost for the cosmetic use of darkening and lengthening eyelashes. It is now sold by Allergan under the name Latisse. Because of the fact that this class of drug appears to effect hair growth, Allergan recently reported that it will study its efficacy for growing hair on the balding scalp. As of now there are no definitive scientific studies which document its effectiveness for growing scalp hair. Here are a few brief reports as to what is going on with Allergan and the study.
http://www.aestheticmedicinene...ure-for-baldness.htm http://industry.bnet.com/pharm...acaque-hold-the-key/ This link provides a slightly older discussion of the possible mechanism behind this class of drug. As you can see, the mechanism of action is a bit more complicated than it being a simple volumizer. http://dermatology.cdlib.org/9...y/alopecia/wolf.html Time will tell what benefit it will provide. |

Bill,
I think the word conditioner is a bit of a misnomer concerning this product from Athena/Revitalash. They had to use this word due to the wording requirements by the FDA. If you have time to read the research from the "other" forum it is very elegant-make sense. Note, I am not a doctor and do not pretend to be one-LOL... Thana, I have contacted their marketing department-very small company, less than 60 employees and they are going to send me before and after pics of the results...They did sound very excited about their product-no phony sales BS. The pictures will tel the real story though-maybr? You know, this product has been out since the first of this year? Dr. Konior, Thanks for the follow-up. Take Care fellas,
