Ever since “batting your lashes” to flirt became popular around the 16th century, long, beautiful lashes have been something to be envied. Until recently, though, little could be done aside from painstakingly gluing false lashes onto your lids. Thankfully, now we have Latisse®.
About Latisse Bimatoprost Ophthalmic Solution
Latisse® is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for hypotrichosis, or inadequate eyelash growth. Latisse® is a breakthrough treatment that enhances eyelashes by increasing their length, thickness and darkness. This treatment contains bimatoprost, which increases the amount of hairs and the duration of the eyelash growth process.
Benefits of Latisse
Latisse is a clinically proven prescription treatment designed to enhance eyelash growth by extending the active eyelash growth phase. This allows for longer eyelashes that appear thicker and darker over time. Patients often notice improvements along the lash line where new, stronger lashes emerge, creating a fuller and more defined look.
Darker Lashes
As new lashes grow, they often become deeper in pigment, reducing the need for mascara and helping balance the tone of the surrounding eyelid skin. This rich, natural color gives patients the appearance of lush lashes.
Longer Lashes
For those with inadequate lashes or who feel they have not enough lashes, Latisse offers a noticeable improvement in length and fullness. By nourishing the follicles during the active eyelash growth phase, the treatment encourages consistent growth that enhances your overall appearance without extensions or falsies.
Latisse Results
Most patients notice significant results from Latisse® after just four weeks of continuous use, with full results visible after 16 weeks. Results can vary and there are a few minimal risks to consider, so consult with your doctor before using Latisse®.
Side Effects of Latisse
While results are impressive, some users may experience mild eyelid skin darkening or irritation, especially if they wear contact lenses. These effects are typically temporary and resolve when use is discontinued. Patients can expect dramatic, healthy, longer eyelashes with continued, consistent application under medical supervision.
