Over 77% of all of the participants had an increase in overall eyelash prominence, this includes length, fullness, and darkness![1] TIPS FOR GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR LATISSE In order to get the best results, it is important to stick to a routine. Latisse is to be applied once daily during your nightly routine. Try to fit in in after you have washed your face and before you brush your teeth before bed. Another way to keep a routine is to store Latisse near your other daily skin care products so you wont forget to apply it. This consistency will pay off! Another tip towards great lashes is to have patience! Latisse takes time to work. It is recommended that it is used for 16 weeks to achieve the best results. However, using Latisse more than once a day wont contribute to eyelash growth. You can track your progress by taking pictures throughout the weeks (week 0, week 4, week 8, etc). You will see results in length by week 8, but its vital to continue applications through week 16 to get the results you desire. Having your own gallery of before and after pictures will help keep you motivated to stick to your routine. It is important that you are applying Latisse in the right manner. Be sure to apply to a face clean of any makeup or dirt from the day. Following the directions carefully, Latisse should be applied using the provided sterile, disposable applicators at the base of the upper eyelashes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Latisse and what is it used for?

Latisse is an FDA-approved prescription medication used to treat hypotrichosis, the medical term for inadequate or insufficient eyelashes. It is the only clinically proven prescription solution for growing longer, fuller, and darker eyelashes, and is applied nightly to the base of the upper lash line.

How does Latisse make lashes grow?

Latisse works by prolonging the active growth phase of the eyelash hair cycle. During this extended growth phase, more hairs continue growing for longer before transitioning to the resting and shedding phases, resulting in progressively longer, fuller, and darker lashes over the 16-week treatment period.

How long does it take to see results from Latisse?

Patients typically begin to notice some improvement in lash length after about 6 weeks of nightly application. By 16 weeks, the full extent of the results is visible, with clinical studies showing lashes that are up to 25% longer, 106% fuller, and 18% darker compared to baseline. Consistent nightly application is key to achieving the full result.

How should Latisse be applied?

Latisse should be applied once nightly to the skin at the base of the upper eyelid lash line using the sterile applicators provided. The lower lid should not be directly treated. Excess product that contacts other skin should be blotted away. Use a new applicator for each application and never share the product with others.

What happens if I stop using Latisse?

Latisse does not permanently change the eyelash cycle. If you discontinue use, your lashes will gradually return to their original length, fullness, and color over a period of several weeks to months. To maintain results, ongoing nightly application is required indefinitely.
