What is Latisse?

Latisse is an FDA-approved treatment for those with insufficient or scarce eyelashes.

Latisse uses the medication bimatoprost to lengthen the period of hair growth and increase the number of hairs produced. Bimatoprost was initially used in eye drops to treat glaucoma. Patients using the drops noticed their eyelashes became thicker and longer, leading to the creation of Latisse.

With regular application, you can expect your eyelashes to grow longer, thicker, and darker. Latisse is only meant to be applied on the upper eyelid. As you blink, Latisse will spread to your lower lashes.

Potential Risk Factors

Like any medication you take, there are possible side effects. If you develop any of the following side effects, please contact us. Potential risks of Latisse include:
