Clinical Management of Trichotillomania With Bimatoprost

This case report described the use of bimatoprost 0.03% (Latisse) to regrow eyelashes in a 55-year-old female patient with trichotillomania, a condition characterized by compulsive hair pulling. The patient, who had a history of eyelash pulling since age 12, showed increased lash growth bilaterally over a 4-month period following the use of Latisse. The study concluded that bimatoprost could benefit individuals who pull their eyelashes by improving lash growth, self-image, and compliance with therapy, highlighting the potential for collaboration between eye care professionals and mental health providers in managing trichotillomania.
