Latisse

Latisse™ solution is a prescription treatment used to grow eyelashes, enabling them to grow longer, thicker, and darker. Latisse™ is a product of Allergan, the makers of Botox® Cosmetic, and is FDA approved for the cosmetic treatment of eyelashes. Bimatoprost is the active ingredient in Latisse™, and was originally approved for treatment of ocular hypertension, with increased eyelash growth and quality an observed byproduct of the ingredient. Latisse™ is available only through a physician, and is used once-daily as treatment to the base of the upper eyelashes with a sterile single-use-per-eye disposable applicator. Users can expect to experience longer, fuller, and darker eyelashes beginning at eight weeks, with full results present in 16 weeks. Continued use of Latisse™ is necessary to maintain long, thick, dark eyelashes, as discontinuation will gradually return eyelashes to their pretreatment appearance.
