Latisse
Latisse is a prescription drug that contains bimatoprost, a substance that belongs to a group of chemicals called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are involved in various processes in the body, including hair growth. Latisse works by extending the growth phase of the eyelash hair cycle and increasing the number of hairs that grow.
Latisse is FDA approved for treating hypotrichosis, which is a condition of inadequate or not enough eyelashes. It can help you enhance your natural lashes by making them longer, fuller, and darker. Latisse can improve your appearance and confidence by giving you more defined and expressive eyes.
Latisse is a topical solution that you apply once daily at night to the base of your upper eyelashes. You should use a sterile applicator that comes with the product and discard it after each use. You should not apply Latisse to your lower eyelashes or any other part of your face or body. You should also avoid getting Latisse into your eyes or on your skin, as it may cause irritation or unwanted hair growth.
Latisse may cause some side effects such as eye redness, itching, dryness, irritation, infection, or increased sensitivity to light. These side effects are usually mild and temporary and resolve after discontinuing Latisse. However, some side effects may be more serious and permanent such as darkening of the eyelid skin or the iris, the colored part of the eye. You should report any changes in your eye color or vision to your doctor immediately.
Latisse may take several weeks to show noticeable results. You may start to see some improvement in your eyelash length after 4 weeks of use and full results after 16 weeks of use. However, these results are not permanent and will gradually revert back to their original state if you stop using Latisse. Therefore, you need to continue using Latisse regularly as directed by your doctor to maintain your lash enhancement.
Latisse is a safe and effective way to grow longer, thicker, and darker lashes without surgery or extensions. It can help you achieve more beautiful and attractive eyes with minimal hassle and risk.
