Increasing eyelash length, fullness and darkening in a patient over 16 weeks of Latisse usage.
What is Latisse?
Latisse is a prescription treatment designed to enhance the appearance of eyelashes, making them fuller, longer, and darker. It is the first FDA-approved medication for addressing inadequate or sparse lashes, a condition known as hypotrichosis. Since its introduction in 2009, Latisse has gained popularity among individuals seeking noticeable eyelash improvement through a safe and regulated solution. In fact, over 550,000 patients have used Latisse to improve the appearance of their eyelashes.
How Latisse Works
It is believed that Latisse works by extending the natural active growth phase of eyelash hair, allowing lashes to grow for a longer period and achieve greater length, thickness, and darkness. By targeting this phase of the hair growth cycle, Latisse is thought to promote noticeable improvements in eyelash appearance over time. Interestingly, the cosmetic application was discovered when patients using a medication designed to manage an eye condition noticed unexpected eyelash growth as a side effect.
How To Correctly Apply Latisse
- Latisse should be applied once daily.
- Ensure that the face is clean. If you wear contact lenses, remove them.
- Prepare the disposable Latisse applicator (which is included) by applying one drop of medication near the tip of the applicator but not directly on the tip.
- Move the applicator along the skin at the base of the upper lash line (where lashes meet skin).
- Start at the inner corner of the eye, and brush toward the outer part of the upper lash line. Use a clean tissue to blot excess solution beyond the eyelid.
- Dispose of the applicator after one use.
Follow steps 1 through 6 for the other eye.
What to Expect from Your Results
Patients typically begin to see longer, fuller, and darker eyelashes within 4 weeks of consistent use, with full results achieved after 16 weeks on average. The medication works gradually, so consistency is key to achieving the desired results. Some users report noticeable changes earlier, but the full transformative effect becomes evident by the 16-week mark. Do not reduce or stop the application when you first notice results to maintain the progress and achieve optimal enhancement.

Answers To Your Questions About Latisse
Can I use Latisse while wearing contact lenses?
You must remove contact lenses prior to applying the medication. They may be reinserted 15 minutes after Latisse application.
Does Latisse really work?
Yes! In clinical studies, 78 percent of users showed significant eyelash enhancement after using Latisse for 16 weeks. After 16 weeks, eyelashes were 18 percent darker, 25 percent longer, and 106 percent fuller on average.
Who should not use Latisse?
Individuals with an allergy to Latisse or any ingredients in the product should not use it. If you have glaucoma or increased intraocular pressure, be sure to notify Dr. Patel or you eye doctor before using this medication.
What will happen to my eyelashes if I stop using it?
Your eyelashes will return to their normal appearance after a few weeks to months of not using the medication.
What is the over-the-counter equivalent to Latisse?
While there are products available over the counter that claim to enhance eyelashes, none match the effectiveness of Latisse. With the highest concentration of the active ingredient, Latisse gives you the best chance of achieving dramatic lash improvement. If you're already taking the time to apply a daily lash product, why not choose the one that's proven to deliver superior results?
Can Latisse be used in conjunction with other eyelash treatments?
Yes, Latisse can be used alongside certain eyelash treatments, but it is important to consult with Dr. Shaun Patel to determine the best approach for combining treatments. Dr. Patel can provide personalized guidance to help you achieve the best possible results while minimizing any potential risks. Additionally, certain eyelash treatments or products that could irritate the eyes or disrupt the application of Latisse, such as oil-based makeup removers or false eyelash adhesives, should be avoided while using this medication. Consulting with Dr. Shaun Patel for expert tips will help ensure the best outcomes.
Can you use Latisse on the lower eyelid?
No, Latisse is only intended for use on the upper eyelid at the base of the lashes. Applying it to the lower eyelid can increase the risk of unwanted side effects and is not recommended. Always follow the prescribed instructions for safe and effective use.
Can you apply Latisse more than once a day?
No, Latisse should only be applied once daily. Using it more frequently will not enhance its effectiveness and may increase the risk of side effects. For the best results, stick to the recommended application schedule.
Does Latisse cause darkening of eyelid skin or the iris?
Darkening of the iris and eyelids have been reported with use of Latisse, caused by increased melanin in the skin or iris. Eyelid pigmentation usually reverses after you stop using the product. Iris darkening can be permanent.
