Renata Marie Vestevich, founder and developer of Essential Eyebrow Solution (EES), discusses how this topical solution may be able to help patients keep their eyebrow hair while undergoing chemotherapy.

A recent study involving 150 patients with cancer tested the safety and efficacy of EES. All of the patients involved were getting 12 to 18 weeks of treatment with chemotherapy agents that typically result in hair loss. Before and after images were taken for each patient.

At the end of the trial, 91 percent of patients retained between 50 and 100 percent of their eyebrow hair, despite losing hair on the rest of their body.
