Long, thick eyelashes are beautiful, opening the eyes and brightening the face, but only a select few are lucky enough to have these naturally. Latisse Eyelash Treatment is a cosmetic product designed to lengthen and thicken the body’s own lashes, in as little as one month.
Latisse is the only substance approved by the FDA to treat Hypotrichosis, or the condition of too few eyelashes. Originally developed by researchers to treat Ocular Hypertension, Latisse has been proven to effectively enhance the appearance of the upper lashes. While the exact mechanism of Latisse is unknown, its active ingredient, bimatoprost, is responsible for extending the Anagen (active growth) phase of lashes. Additionally, while individual hairs may be in any of the three growth phases at one time, bimatoprost increases the number of lashes in the active growth stage. As a result, Latisse allows lashes to lengthen naturally on their own. *
The Ideal Latisse Candidate:
Both men and women can make an excellent candidate for Latisse; which can benefit anyone who frustrated by short, thin eyelashes. While the trigger of sparse lash growth may be genetics, illness, or simply the normal aging process, Latisse has the power to consistently increase the thickness and fullness of the lashes. *
Latisse in the Comfort of Your Own Home
Latisse is available only by prescription through your cosmetic surgeon. The liquid-gel is applied at home, once nightly, to the upper lashes. Some patients will begin to see results in as few as four weeks, while the full benefits will be evident in sixteen weeks. *
Risks of Latisse:
Latisse is considered extremely safe and effective for the treatment of Hypotrichosis. While rare, the most common side effects include an increase in the brown pigment of the eye, itching, redness, dry eye, as well as new hair growth on areas with which Latisse comes into contact. Patients with a hypersensitivity to bimatoprost, or who have had a previous reaction to Latisse, should avoid future use. *
