Latisse for Eyelash Growth

Latisse is an FDA-approved prescription medication used to enhance eyelash growth, length, thickness, and darkness. It contains the active ingredient bimatoprost, which was initially developed to treat glaucoma but was found to have the side effect of promoting eyelash growth. This discovery led to the development of Latisse specifically for cosmetic purposes.

The medication is typically applied once daily to the base of the upper eyelashes using a sterile applicator supplied with the product. It's important to follow the instructions provided by our healthcare provider or on the product packaging carefully to achieve the best results and minimize the risk of side effects.

While many users experience noticeable improvements in eyelash appearance within a few weeks of starting treatment, full results typically take about 12 to 16 weeks to become apparent. It's important to continue using Latisse as directed to maintain the desired lash enhancements.

Common side effects of Latisse may include itching, redness, or darkening of the skin around the application site, and eye irritation or dryness. In rare cases, it may also cause changes in eye color or eyelid pigmentation. It's essential to discuss any concerns or potential side effects with our  healthcare provider before starting treatment with Latisse.

Latisse is available by prescription only, so you'll need to consult with a healthcare provider in our office to determine if it's suitable for you and to obtain a prescription. They can also provide guidance on proper application techniques and address any questions or concerns you may have about the medication.
