Clinical and Testing Substantiation
Plume's company-sponsored eight-week prospective observational study enrolled 94 people; 85 completed. The public report describes maximum eyelash length and imaged lash area, with assessments at baseline and Weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8.
What was studied
Among 85 completers, the report gives mean maximum eyelash length of 9.8 mm at baseline and 11.6 mm at Week 8 (reported change 18.3%), and mean imaged lash area of 25,807 and 41,471 pixels (reported change 60.7%). Area is an imaging measure, not a hair count. Mean time to noticeable results was self-reported at 17 days.
What was not established
The study was single-arm, open-label, company-funded and not peer reviewed. It had no control group or investigator blinding, and reports a completer analysis (85 of 94 enrolled; 113 screened). It does not establish measured brow outcomes, pregnancy safety, permanent enhancement, prescription equivalence or superiority over another serum. No adverse events were recorded during this eight-week study; that is not a guarantee for every user.
