LATISSE™ Eyelash Growth Product

Introducing LATISSE™ - the first and only FDA-approved treatment for people with inadequate or not enough eyelashes.

 

What is LATISSE™?

LATISSE™ solution is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker. Eyelash hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes.

How does LATISSE™ work?

LATISSE™ is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase; and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase. The exact way it works is unknown.

 

How soon will I see results?

LATISSE™ users may see results starting at 8 weeks with full results at 12 to 16 weeks. The growth is gradual overnight, over time.

What are the possible side effects of LATISSE™?

The most common side effects after using LATISSE™ solution are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. This was reported in approximately 4% of patients. LATISSE™ solution may cause other less common side effects which typically occur on the skin close to where LATISSE™ is applied, or in the eyes. These include skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids.

 

Using LATISSE™ is easy

How do I use LATISSE™?

1. Once nightly, start by ensuring your face is clean, makeup and contact lenses are removed.
2. Remove an applicator from its tray. Then, holding the sterile applicator horizontally, place one drop of LATISSE™ solution on the area of the applicator closest to the tip but not on the tip.
3. Then immediately draw the applicator carefully across the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes (where the eyelashes meet the skin) going from the inner part of your lash line to the outer part.
4. Blot any excess solution beyond the eyelid margin.
5. Dispose of the applicator after one use. Repeat for the opposite upper eyelid margin using a new sterile applicator. This helps minimize any potential for contamination from one eyelid to another.

Important: DO NOT APPLY in your eye or to the lower lid. Only use the sterile applicators that come with LATISSE™.

 

Should I remove my contact lenses first?

As a precaution, it's recommended that you remove your contact lenses because they can absorb an ingredient in LATISSE™ solution. You can put your lenses back in 15 minutes after application.

What if I forget to apply LATISSE™?

If you miss a dose, don't try to "catch up." Just apply LATISSE™ the next evening. Make LATISSE™ solution part of your evening routine, like brushing your teeth or removing your makeup. IMPORTANT: Using LATISSE™ more than once a day will not increase the growth of eyelashes more than daily use.

What should I do if LATISSE™ gets in my eye?

LATISSE™ solution is an ophthalmic drug product. If any gets into the eye, it is not expected to cause harm. Don't rinse your eye.

What happens if I stop using LATISSE™?

Your lashes are expected to return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months.

Can I continue to wear mascara while using LATISSE™?

Yes, you can use mascara. LATISSE™ is not a replacement product for mascara. Mascara will help make your new longer eyelashes look even more attractive.
