What is Latisse?


Latisse uses an active ingredient called bimatoprost to influence the length of the eyelash growth cycle. It is not a cosmetic treatment in the sense that it cannot be applied and then removed; it is not makeup. When used consistently, Latisse provides quantifiable results that far exceed what any cosmetic product could achieve.

Latisse FAQ’s

How Latisse Works

Latisse alters the growth cycle of the eyelash. New lashes undergo a much longer growth cycle, resulting in eyelashes that are longer and thicker than without Latisse. Because Latisse stimulates natural lash production, it can take up to 3 months to see full results.

Pre-existing eyelashes are unaffected by Latisse, as they have already grown to maturity. However, as they fall out naturally, they are replaced by new lashes which have undergone the modified growth cycle. These new lashes will be longer and thicker for the duration of their life.

How Latisse is Used

Latisse is applied topically with an applicator brush directly to the base of the eyelashes.

Are Results Permanent?

In order to experience the benefits of Latisse, the patient must apply it daily. Without continuous application, new eyelashes do not undergo the lengthened growth phase.

What Are the Side Effects & Complications

Although they are rare, there are some side effects associated with the use of Latisse. Much like any other medication, you should ensure you are familiar with the side effects and complications that could arise with regular use before starting treatment. These complications can include:

  • Eye irritation and redness
  • Lowered intraocular pressure (the active ingredient is also used to treat glaucoma)
  • Permanent pigmentation of the skin at the lash line
  • Permanent pigmentation of the iris
  • Periocular skin pigment changes

Rates of side effects are extremely low, with the most common (eye irritation) occurring in under 4% of clinical trial participants.
