Have your thyroid checked out first, thinning brows are a common symptom of hypothyroidism. Fixed within a few weeks of treatment for me.

I’m fairly sure it can affect blood pressure, correct me if I’m wrong, but I’d make sure your blood pressure is ok beforehand

As above -- get that thyroid checked. Outside of that, yes it is possible and safe to use it on your brows and was suggested by my dermatologist. Just get an eyelash brush or something, put that into a bit of the minox and then apply with that -- to be careful to keep it away from your eyes.
