Latisse®

 

Full, natural-looking eyelashes can now be achieved through a prescription treatment called Latisse®. Latisse® is the first and only eyelash treatment approved by the FDA to help grow longer, fuller and darker eyelashes and treat hypotrichosis, a condition that includes having inadequate or not enough eyelashes.

Latisse® contains bimatoprost, an active ingredient that improves the appearance of your lashes and is often found in glaucoma medication. While the precise science of the treatment is not known, research suggests that the number of hairs and duration of the growth process are increased by bimatoprost.

This prescription medication is applied topically to the base of the eyelashes once a day, after makeup and contact lenses have been removed and any other skincare products have already been applied. While it does not replace mascara, Latisse® offers an attractive complement to help further enhance full, long and beautiful lashes.

The results of Latisse® are visible after 4 weeks, with full results appearing after 16 weeks. You can track the progress of your results through photographs. Side effects of Latisse® are rare but may include itching, redness or dryness in the eye area. You should not use Latisse® if you have an active eye infection or broken skin or irritated skin on the eyelid. Call your doctor today to find out if Latisse® is right for you.
