What is Latisse?

Latisse is a prescription treatment that is designed to help promote longer, thicker, fuller and darker eyelashes. It contains the active ingredient bimatoprost, which has been found to promote eyelash growth. The prescription is applied to the base of the upper eyelashes using a sterile applicator once a day. Over time, the treatment can help to produce longer, thicker, and darker eyelashes.

How does Latisse work?

Latisse works by extending the growth phase of the eyelash hair cycle. Normally, eyelashes grow for a few months before falling out and being replaced by new lashes. However, it helps to keep the eyelashes in the growth phase for a longer period of time, allowing them to grow longer and thicker.

Who is a good candidate for Latisse?

Latisse is a great option for anyone who wants to enhance the appearance of their natural eyelashes. However, Latisse is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, individuals with a history of eye problems or allergies, or anyone who is currently using other eye medications.

The Results of Using Latisse

Results from using Latisse can vary from person to person, but most people begin to see noticeable changes in their lashes after about four weeks of consistent use. After about 16 weeks, lashes should reach their full potential length, thickness, and darkness. In clinical studies, 78% of participants experienced a significant increase in overall lash prominence, while 80% experienced an improvement in lash darkness. The remaining 20% of participants saw some improvement, but not as much as the majority.

It is important to note that the results of using Latisse are not permanent, and regular use is required to maintain the improvements. If use is discontinued, lashes will gradually return to their previous appearance.

How long do the results of Latisse last?

The results of Latisse can last as long as the eyelash hair cycle, which is typically about four to six months. To maintain the results, you will need to continue using the treatment on a daily basis.

Is Latisse safe?

Latisse is generally considered to be safe when used as directed by a healthcare professional. However, it is important to discuss your medical history and any medications you are currently taking with your provider before starting treatment.
