As an eyelash grower, Latisse has been in use since FDA approval in 2008. Its eyelash lengthen effect originates from the clinical use of a glaucoma drug, which has been noticed with side effects such as hair growth and longer, lusher eyelashes. Both hair and eyelash have growth periods. Studies have showed that Latisse can lengthen, thicken and darken eyelashes, as well as extends their growth phase.

Clinical experiences show that Latisse has significant effects after 16 weeks’ applying: eyelash length can be increased by 25%, thickness by 106% and darkness by 18%. Before dabbing Latisse on your upper lash line with a sterile applicator, you should remove your makeup and contact lenses. Applicators should be discarded after one use, in order to prevent any infection or allergic reaction. It is recommended to use Latisse every day during the first two months and every two days during the following months.

Latisse should not be applied to some people, such as those with uveitis and conjunctivitis, people with severe allergies or skin infections of the upper eyelids, pregnant women as well as nursing women. Latisse lowers intraocular pressure so that you must let your doctor know your applying of Latisse, in case of any side effect for IOP-lowering medications.

Latisse may bring subtle side effects under improper treatment, such as red eyes, itchy eyes, dry eyes, eyelid redness, and potential iris brown pigmentation. Once you find any of these side effects, you should see your doctor for an exam.

Latisse is a drug that requires a prescription from a doctor, although cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists are more familiar with this new treatment. A supply of 60 applicators for one month typically costs $120.
