Experience the Alluring Effects of Long Eyelashes
Your eyelashes are your secret weapon of mass seduction. You blink twice while looking away… and back or wink once without loosing eye contact, either way you disarm his defenses.
But wait, you’re wearing false eyelashes? Noooooooooo!
It’s time to reduce the use of false eyelashes, eyelash extensions and even daily applications of mascara!
You can possibly enjoy gradual growth of fuller, darker eye lashes in as little as 16 weeks. Clinical trials show 25% longer, 106% fuller, 18% darker eyelashes after 16 weeks.
Effects
You may notice lengthening in as little as 4 weeks, by simply applying a thin layer of Latisse to the base of your eyelashes, followed by fuller and darker results during the remainder of the 16 weeks treatment period.
Once you’ve completed the treatment, talk to Dr. Fulton about ongoing use.
What is Latisse?
The medication bimatoprost — marketed under the brand name Latisse — is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat inadequate eyelashes (hypotrichosis). Bimatoprost is also marketed under the brand name Lumigan, which is used in prescription eyedrops to treat glaucoma. Eyelash growth was an unexpected side effect of Lumigan, which led to the creation and marketing of Latisse.
How does it work?
With regular applications along the lash line of the upper eyelid, Latisse gradually encourages growth of longer, thicker and darker eyelashes. Latisse isn’t meant to be applied to the lower eyelid. For full results, you must use the medication daily for at least two months. Eyelash improvements remain as long as you continue to use the medication. When you stop using Latisse, your eyelashes will eventually return to their original appearance.
Are there side effects?
Potential side effects of Latisse include:
- Redness of the thin tissue over the white part of the eye (conjunctiva)
- Itchy, red eyes
- Dry eyes
- Darkened eyelids
- Darkened brown pigmentation in the colored part of the eye (iris)
- Hair growth around the eyes if the medication regularly runs or drips off the eyelids
Consult with a physician
Although darkened eyelids might fade when the medication is stopped, any changes in iris color are likely to be permanent.
The results of studies of people who used Latisse for eyelash loss due to a medical condition that causes hair loss (alopecia areata) were mixed. Studies of people who have eyelash loss due to chemotherapy were more promising. Further studies are needed.
If you’re concerned about the appearance of your eyelashes, talk to your doctor. He or she can help you weigh the pros and cons of using an eyelash-growing medication.
Getting a prescription
A medical prescription is required to use Latisse. If you have an eye condition such as glaucoma, macular edema or eye inflammation, or if you have questions about Latisse’s effects on your eye health, ask your ophthalmologist. Follow the drug’s instructions carefully to avoid side effects.
Tips for using Latisse
Contact lenses
If you wear contact lenses, take them out before using Latisse. Wait 15 minutes after using the drug before putting your contact lenses back in your eyes.
Single-use applicator
Do not reuse the single-use applicator for this drug or contaminate the bottle by allowing the bottle tip to come into contact with any other surface, as this may lead to serious eye infection.
If you have a reaction
If you develop a new eye condition, have a sudden decrease in your vision, have eye surgery or develop any eye reactions, immediately call your ophthalmologist. Only an ophthalmologist has the medical training in eye care to assess your particular reactions and conditions.
