Frequently Asked Questions
How does Latisse® work?
The active ingredient, bimatoprost, mimics natural biological signals to target the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. Latisse® extends the active growth phase of the lashes and increases the number of lashes that grow, resulting in fuller, darker, and longer eyelashes. By keeping follicles in this growth stage for a longer duration, the treatment allows hairs to develop more substance and pigment before naturally shedding.
When will I see results?
Because eyelash growth is a gradual biological process, patience and consistency are required during the initial treatment phase. Most patients begin to see results after 8 weeks, with complete, dramatic lash enhancement visible by 16 weeks. Skipping nightly doses can delay this timeline, so we recommend incorporating it into your regular evening routine to ensure you reach the full growth potential.
Can Latisse® be used on lower lashes?
The sterile solution and applicators are specifically calibrated for the upper eyelid margin to minimize the risk of product spreading to unwanted areas. Latisse® is designed only for use on the upper lash line and should not be applied to the lower lashes. However, the natural blinking process transfers enough solution to the lower lashes to safely improve their appearance without the risk of direct application.
What happens if I stop using Latisse®?
The benefits of the treatment are maintained only as long as the medication is actively stimulating the hair follicles. If discontinued, your lashes will gradually go back to their original appearance over several weeks to months. This occurs because the hair growth cycle returns to its natural, shorter duration, and the enhanced lashes eventually shed to be replaced by your natural lashes.
Is Latisse® safe?
As the first and only prescription treatment scientifically proven to enhance eyelash prominence, it adheres to rigorous medical standards. Latisse® is FDA-approved and clinically tested for safety and efficacy when used as directed under the care of a licensed provider. Our medical team will review your ocular health history to ensure it is the right choice for you, ensuring safe and optimal results.
Are there any side effects?
While the majority of patients tolerate the treatment very well, minor reactions can occur at the application site. Some users may experience itching, mild redness, or darkening of the eyelid skin. To minimize irritation, ensure you apply the product precisely as instructed. These common side effects are typically temporary and resolve with continued use or discontinuation.
