FAQ
What is Latisse?
Latisse (bimatoprost solution 0.03%) is an FDA-approved treatment to grow eyelashes for people with inadequate or not enough lashes. Latisse is clinically-proven to make eyelashes longer, thicker, and darker.
Latisse is not appropriate for everyone. To learn more about who should not use Latisse and the side effects that it may cause, please see the FAQ below regarding side effects and the important safety information for Latisse.
How do I use Latisse?
Latisse should be used at night after washing your face, removing makeup and contacts if you wear them. Apply one drop of Latisse to an applicator. Brush the applicator along the skin of the upper eyelid, where the skin meets the eyelashes. Blot away any excess liquid to avoid liquid running onto your cheek. Use one applicator for each eye and throw away after use. Only apply at the base of the upper lashes. If you have any questions about your medication, once prescribed, please contact your provider.
What are the potential side effects of Latisse?
Common side effects include itchy and red eyes. Hair may grow outside the treatment area, especially if the medication is applied directly to the eye or the lower eyelid. Latisse may cause brown darkening of the colored part (iris) of your eye which is likely permanent and occurred in less than 4% of patients in the Latisse clinical trial. Latisse may also cause eyelid skin darkening which may be reversible. If Latisse is discontinued, lashes gradually return to the previous appearance. For a complete list of interactions and potential side effects, please read the important safety information.
Is this Latisse real?
Yes, our prescriptions are brand-name Latisse (bimatoprost solution 0.03%) and purchased directly from the manufacturer, Allergan.
How long does it take for Latisse to start working?
Eyelashes will not grow overnight. It will take 16 weeks (4 months) to see the full effect of Latisse. Most patients report an increase in eyelash length at 4 weeks. Increased darkness and fullness are typically seen at week 8. Continuing with the treatment past week 8 usually results in longer, fuller, thicker, and darker eyelashes.
