LATISSE™
is the first and only FDA-approved, science-based treatment to enhance
eyelash prominence as measured by increases in length, thickness and
darkness of eyelashes.
User studies showed a 106% increase in lash fullness, a 25%
increase in length and an 18% increase in darkness.
Available by prescription in physician offices, Latisse™ is applied
once daily to promote lash growth in those with inadequate or sparse
lashes. Latisse™ is made by Allergan, makers of Botox and Juvederm
What is in Latisse™?
The active ingredient in Latisse™ is bimatoprost, a prostaglandin
which prolongs the growth cycle of the eyelash. By extending the
hair growth cycle, lashes grow longer, more lashes remain
present and the result is a fuller, lusher eyelash that's
natural, not coated as with sticky mascara or glued on as with
extensions or false lashes.
How long does it take Latisse™ to work?
Latisse™ shows lash improvements after a full growth cycle,
usually beginning around 4 weeks. By weeks 8 to 10, most
users have a growth "pop" and by 16 weeks, the full effects are
in place.
How is Latisse™ different from other products like Revitalash?
Latisse™ has FDA approval, plus you'll know what's in the product
as the ingredients are right on the package label. Results are
proven with scientific studies. Plus, Latisse™ is a product of
Allergan with the identical active ingredient in use for many years in the ophthalmologic sector.
That means there is industry-leader research, safety testing and
established safe use directives.
How do I use Latisse™?
Once daily application is all that is required. This is done
at night after cleaning the face, removing any eye makeup and
removing contacts. The solution is applied only to the upper
lash line and excess solution is blotted. Because the active
ingredient affects all hair, it is important to wipe away
solution that drips beyond the lash line to prevent unwanted
hair growth.
How do I get Latisse™?
Latisse™ is a prescription product and is only dispensed by physicians. You will need to be seen by Dr.Youabian for a few moments prior to purchasing Latisse™ in our office. This is to rule out any reason you may not be a suitable user and to make sure you understand the application procedure to get the most benefit from the product and also to get the most use from the product.
How much does Latisse cost?
Latisse contains a full .3ml - up to 100 drops and contains 60
sterile disposable brushes. Cost is $125.
How long do I have to use Latisse™?
Ongoing use of Latisse™ is required to maintain full results. If
you stop using Latisse™, your lashes will return to their
original condition, although after a full 16 week cycle, some
users notice that they can skip 2 to 3 nights per week and still
see satisfactory lash fullness and length. Official product use
instructions call for every day application. Individual results
will vary.
