Could minoxidil, a medication used for baldness, help someone grow thicker eyebrows? The Doctors weigh on on this beauty claim.
Watch: Daycare Waxes Toddler’s Eyebrows!?
Dermatologist Dr. Sonia Batra says there is some truth to the beauty tip and calls it a "safe and effective" hair growth method for the brows.
She recommends using a 2 percent minoxidil product and apply with a cotton swab. She warns against getting minoxidil into your eyes, as it can cause irritation.
Watch: What do Thinning Eyebrows Mean?
