Product Overview

Product Description

Latanoprost (LatanoSTIM) Hair Serum Description^1-5

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) analog that is primarily indicated for the management of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Evidence indicates that the drug is associated with hair growth, particularly in cases of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and eyelash or eyebrow hypotrichosis. Its association with hair regrowth was initially observed as an adverse effect involving increased eyelash growth in patients treated for glaucoma.

Product Mechanisms of Action

Mechanism of Action^1-5

Latanoprost binds to the prostaglandin F2α receptor on hair follicle dermal papilla cells, influencing the hair growth cycle as follows:

Prolongation of Anagen Phase (Growth Phase):

Increases the duration of anagen, resulting in longer and thicker hair shafts.

Stimulation of Melanogenesis:

May enhance pigmentation in vellus hairs, making them appear darker and more terminal-like.

Increased Follicular Density:

Some studies suggest latanoprost may increase the number of follicles actively producing hair, particularly in the eyelash and eyebrow regions, and potentially the scalp.

Product Adverse Reactions

Common^1-5

Local irritation (itching, burning, erythema)
Hyperpigmentation of skin (especially around eyelids or eyebrows)
Increased pigmentation of treated hair
Eyelid darkening (rare with scalp use)
Unwanted hair growth if medication spreads to unintended areas
Eye irritation (if it migrates to eye area)

Product Contraindications & Precautions

Contraindications & Precautions^1-5

Contraindications:

Known hypersensitivity to latanoprost or prostaglandin analogs
Active ocular conditions if near eyes (without ophthalmologic approval)
History of herpetic keratitis (due to prostaglandin-induced reactivation risk)

Precautions:

Avoid application near the eyes unless specifically prescribed
Use gloves or applicator to prevent unintended hair growth on fingers/hands
Avoid contact with mucous membranes
Patients with a history of uveitis, macular edema, or intraocular surgery should be monitored if periorbital application is required
