What Is Latisse?

Originally developed for the treatment of glaucoma, the drug Lumigan was found to have a side effect: thick, luxurious eyelashes. When used in smaller doses, this same drug stimulates eyelash growth, producing longer, thicker lashes. Latisse is the first and only treatment approved by the FDA to stimulate the production of thick, luxurious lashes. When applied to the upper lashes daily, Latisse causes lashes to grow longer, thicker, and darker. For beautiful, lush lashes that grow naturally, Latisse is an incredible option.

Is Latisse an Invasive Treatment?

No. Latisse is applied only to the upper eyelashes each day. Using an included single-use brush, you paint one drop of Latisse onto your upper lash line daily. You should discard that brush and apply one drop to your other eye using a fresh brush. When applied regularly, you will notice luxurious lashes beginning to grow. The use of Latisse has been shown to produce the following:

  • A 106 percent increase in lash fullness
  • Lashes that are an average of 25 percent longer
  • An increase of dark pigment to your lashes by 18 percent

Will My Eyelashes Stop Growing If I Stop Using Latisse?

Yes. If you cease using Latisse for eyelash growth, your eyelashes will gradually return to their previous appearance. It’s important to note that you will need to come into our office to purchase Latisse.

When Will I Notice Results from Latisse?

Latisse begins to stimulate the growth of your lashes as soon as it is applied. Through a special process, Latisse extends both the number of lashes you have and the growth phase for those lashes. You will begin to notice results after approximately eight weeks. Fuller, thicker, and darker lashes will be visible after using Latisse for twelve to sixteen weeks.
