What is Latisse?
Latisse is an FDA-cleared prescription treatment for inadequate eyelash growth (hypotrichosis). Consistent use of Latisse can make eyelashes longer, thicker and darker. The onset of the effect is gradual, with the majority of patients in the Latisse clinical trials seeing significant improvement in two months. Latisse is a prescription medicine and requires a consultation with one of our doctors or our nurse practitioner.
How it Works
Bimatoprost, the active ingredient in Latisse, increases the growth cycle (anagen) phase of your eyelash hair cycle. This increases the number of hairs in this growth phase and their length. With daily application, you’ll first begin to see changes in length. Then, gradually, you’ll notice more thickness and darkness in your lashes. After week 16, you’ll see the full effect of the Latisse solution. Continued use of Latisse will maintain results.
