Latisse stimulates eyelash growth and eliminates the need for eyelash extensions, giving patients longer, fuller, darker lashes in just a few months. We now carry the drug at our Arkansas surgery practice and our patients love it!
When applied regularly to the base of the eyelashes, Latisse keeps lashes in a perpetual growth phase. You just apply it once daily like eyeliner, along the lash line. There are special applicators included with Latisse, so the process is very simple. The cosmetic effect may take a few weeks to become noticeable and it isn’t permanent; if you stop applying Latisse, your eyelashes return to normal.
What is Latisse?
You might say that Latisse is a cosmetic formulation of a glaucoma drug. Allergan Inc, the pharmaceutical company that markets Natrelle breast implants, Botox cosmetic, and Juvederm, discovered the active ingredients of Latisse during clinical trials of Lumigan - a popular and widely used glaucoma drug. In clinical studies of Lumigan, doctors observed abnormally long lashes among users of the drug.
During research of Latisse, doctors reported on average:
- 25 percent increase in eyelash length
- 106 percent increase in eyelash fullness
- 18 percent darkening of the eyelashes
Who Should Consider Latisse?
Good candidates for Latisse are dissatisfied with the length of their eyelashes due to hypotrichosis, i.e. inadequate eyelashes. Candidates should also be healthy and have no associated allergies or eye problems. Risks of Latisse include itchiness, redness, and hyperpigmentation.
