LATISSE™ For Longer, Thicher and Darker Eyelashes

What is LATISSE™?

LATISSE™ solution is a prescription treatment used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker.
The active ingredient in LATISSE™ is bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is not known, research suggests that the growth of eyelashes occurs by increasing the percent of hairs growth phase. Lashes can grow longer, thicker and darker because bimatoprost can also prolong this growth phase.
LATISSE™ is a once-a-day treatment you apply yourself each evening to the base of the upper eyelashes.
LATISSE™ users may see results starting at 4 weeks with full results after 16 weeks. The growth is gradual overnight, over time.

Is LATISSE™ different from nonprescription products that indicate eyelash growth?


LATISSE™ solution is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for inadequate or insufficient eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.

What happens if I stop using LATISSE™?


If you stop using LATISSE™, your eyelashes are expected to return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months.
First, ask your doctor if LATISSE™ is right for you. Although any doctor can prescribe LATISSE™, some may be more familiar with this product than others. When making an appointment, be sure to tell the receptionist that you want to find out more about LATISSE™.

What are the possible side effects of LATISSE™?


The most common side effects after using LATISSE™ solution are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. This was reported in approximately 4% of patients. LATISSE™ solution may cause other less common side effects which typically occur on the skin close to where LATISSE™ is applied, or in the eyes. These include skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids.

What should I do if I get LATISSE™ in my eye?

LATISSE™ solution is an ophthalmic drug product. If any gets into the eye, it is not expected to cause harm. The eye should not be rinsed.
